CLASS PHOTOS AND STUDENT SUCCESSES

LEANNE STEVENS AND CEDAR
Cedar just obtained his AKC Companion Dog title with scores of 198,
197.5 and 196 out of 200 this summer and fall. He placed first in
his first two shows and finished up with a competitive fourth place
against a very large field in Lynden, WA Sunday November 5th. It
has been an interesting journey for these two, as they learn to
trust each other and the training methods. Cedar works very hard
for his reward, a pink ball, and constantly proves to Leanne that
he is not a Bearded Collie, her former breed.

ORIEL FRANCISCO AND MOXIE
October 22nd, 2006, at the DVG Western
Regional Schutzhund Competition, which draws participants from 13
clubs as far away as Utah, Colorado and Canada, Oriel and Moxie
earned the high SchH II title.
True to
form, Moxie showed her quickness and strength in every phase. Oriel
has done a tremendous job of capping and controlling Moxie's excess
of drive and this is her first competition dog!

KERRI
MCCRACKEN AND KEYA
Kerri and Keya have earned two legs of their Companion Dog title
with a fourth place and a second place with a score of 190 out of
a possible 200 points.
The team
suits each other well and work awesome together. Keya possesses
one of the best work ethics, and is capable of wonderful spirited
heeling for long periods of time with minimal reward. She has already
obtained her Rally Novice title and the BH in the Schutzhund discipline.

ANNE SEELEY AND FAEROE
Anne and Faeroe obtained their first leg of the Companion Dog test
with a score of 194.5 out of 200! March 26th at the Kitsap Peninsula
Dog Show, Faeroe earned second in the Novice A class and impressed
the spectators with her spirited heeling and fast recall. Who says
Newfoundland's are slow?

SHADE WHITESEL AND BEAUTY
Beauty recently earned her first leg of her AKC Companion Dog title
with a 195.5 out of 200 points. The judge commented on her excellent
position and how she was a dog to watch for in the future.
Showing off
her wonderful focus, Beauty showed how positive reinforcement works
fast and with older dogs too. She went from thinking "heel"
meant forge two feet forward and two feet away to perfect position
and eye contact in three months of training.
