Hi, I'm ANN -

I've devoted my time personally and professionally to helping handlers maximize their dogs' obedience and better enjoy their dogs both on the field and off. 

​

Having competed with podium finishes at local, regional, national, and world levels in Protection Sports Association (PSA), I am passionate about cultivating the same clarity in training for my clients that has led to my own dog's career success.   

My dog, Patty, and I have enjoyed a full and successful career in dog sport, having reached the following milestones:

​

PSA3 #35

​

PSA3 World Champion, 2024

PSA World Championship Decoy's Choice Dog, 2024

PSA3 National Vice Champion, 2023

PSA3 East Coast Regional Champion, 2023

PSA East Coast Regional Decoy's Choice Dog, 2023

PSA3 East Coast Regional Third Place, 2022

PSA2 National Vice Champion, High Obedience, 2021

PSA1 National Champion, High Protection, 2019

​

Multiple High in Trial, High Owner Trained, High Obedience, and High Protection

After our discussion from the other day, I applied most, if not all, of your feedback into my session…She is so much happier, and so much more drivey and forward with me…She seem[s] brighter in the face, happier to work for me, and offering all sorts of behaviors towards me…I am completely immersed with all the videos and I have been extremely proud of her progress in such a short time…Thank you again for all of your useful feedback!

After spending a week working on all the basics individually, I decided to put all the pieces back together yesterday and see if her heeling has changed. IT HAS! I could not have been more thrilled. Everything was just wonderful and the overall picture that I’ve envisioned is slowly coming to light. I could not be more grateful for your guidance and I’m really looking forward to our next virtual lesson!

I wanted to update you that we closed out our 1s this weekend. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me, give me feedback and helping me brainstorm strategy on the “what ifs”.  There are still so much to improve on and I am looking forward to booking more lessons with you in the future! - Catherine Y.
