Focusing on Behavior, Education, Swimming, and Tracking
With over 9 years of professional experience and 20 + years of personal experience, I have trained dogs of all breeds and sizes. I use science based techniques and personal training plans to fit each dog's specific needs and goals. I offer classes and personal training that go beyond basic and intermediate obedience training to introduce new people to the fun and crazy world of dog sports. I offer training in rally, scent work, agility, tricks, and more!
We have a 29' x 17' x 42" TitanPool3 by Splash Super Pools that is perfect for dogs to swim in. It has a 20' dock that sits level with the pool. We have both stair and ramp entrance/exist available. A portion of the dock has astro turf on the surface for traction.
In 2019, I began breeding and training German Shorthaired Pointers for detection work. ARWD strives to produce health-tested, driven and versatile dogs for all things "nose": detection, hunting, tracking (human and deer) and nose/scent work. Our first litter of GSPs produced one explosives detection dog, a UBT - I/ABTA Started and Seasoned dog, a TD dog (with numerous other titles) and one more in training for tracking. Our second litter has produced two Person Borne Explosive detection dogs, a TSA dog, a Narcotics dog, Penn Vet Working Dog Center's first GSP, and two others still in training. Our litter of GSPs has produced a NAVHDA NA Prize I at < 5 months old, our pick is in training for Search and Rescue and 5 others were purchased by K2 Solutions to continue their training.
