my ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Anyone can say they are a dog trainer. In fact some people list books they have read, or seminars they have attended as "credentials". But what have they accomplished? How long have they been training, have they personally had any success? We are proud of our continued success, and happy to be able to share our knowledge & expertise with our students!

A dog lover my entire life, I was never able to have a dog as a child due to my father's allergies. I walked and trained a neighbourhood of dogs and worked at dog groomers and veterinarian hospitals all through high school & university to get my "dog" fix! I obtained my B.A. in Psychology studying animal behaviour and learning theories with great interest. Much of this knowledge has been incorporated into my training methods.

For me it has never been enough just to do something with my dog - I have to understand why it works, or doesn't. I take pride in using motivational methods and have a wonderful relationship with my dogs which shows in their performances.

I started in the sports of Schutzhund, CKC obedience & tracking 22 years ago. During this time period I have titled many different dogs to a total of 47 performance titles and was also a CGN judge for the Canadian Kennel Club.

After breeding, raising and training German Shepherds under the kennel name of Immerstark Shepherds for many years I obtained my first Australian Shepherd in early 2022 - and well let's just say I'm head over heels in love. In less than 2 years I have put 36 titles on my 4 young Aussies including barn hunt, scent detection, conformation, trick, and sprinter titles with many more titles to come as they prepare for the rally and obedience rings.

Below are a few videos of me training my own dogs, puppies & actual competition footage of Iraven at Muskoka District KC doing her CD.
