Maggie Girl was an undersocialized backyard dog with severe shyness. Teaching her tricks has worked to build her confidence. (far left). Sally Girl was my first dog to to do agility; she competes happily as a veteran at the ripe old age of 9 years old! (CPE/NADAC). (right of maggie)

Leroy performs obedience and Rally-O. Leroy’s best trick, however, was self taught. He learned to open the refrigerator to steal food. Simple Solution: buy a new refrigerator! (right of sally). Andy performs happily in recreational agility. (far right)

Bodhi (pictured in the ABOUT ME section) is my newest addition! I have started to compete with him in agility!!

Sally, Maggie, Leroy, and Andy were adopted from shelters. This proves -- no matter how old a dog may be, or where they come from, they can be taught and continue to learn.
