There’s sure a lot to learn in the sport of Schutzhund. With the right mind set one can learn something from everyone and it never ends. This simple technique, keeping it top-of-mind is the foundation for my success.

My first trial was in 1997 in Santa Rosa, California. The Bh routine seemed like such a high mountain to climb at the time and it was… On that day I became hooked in the sport and developed a passion to become the very best trainer and handler I could be. Enthusiasm and energy pushed me to train equally in all three phases and with it came a bond that grew naturally with each dog. These dogs looked to me for everything and I gave each the attention they deserved. I like to call this a funnel-in/funnel-out approach in the dog sport. Quality training will produce a quality performance.
