I have been working with dogs for over 35 years.  It's been a passion of mine since I was a kid.
I have trained and competed with my English Springer Spaniels in obedience, rally, agility, barn hunt, conformation, scentwork, fastcat, dock diving and flyball. 
I have taught all levels of obedience for over 20 years.  I thoroughly enjoy watching my students and pupils progress through the levels.  Training your dog provides a great bonding experience and can be fun for both owners and dogs.

I am involved with English Springer Rescue.  I have been with this organization for over 16 years and have fostered & placed well over 125 dogs.  This is an awesome organization that has grown immensely in the last 25 years.

I am also a member of TCVESSA (Twin Cities Voyageurs English Springer Spaniel Association).  I am on the Board of Directors and Chairperson of the Annual Awards Banquet.  I am also a member of the ESSFTA - English Springer Spaniel Field Trial Association, the AKC parent club of the smaller ESS clubs.

I would love to do so much more for dogs but.... regular life gets in the way.

When I am not working with dogs, I love to work on my house, in my yard and spend time with my 2 sons.  We enjoy camping, fishing and snowmobiling.
