Student Comments

"Betty's classes are always interesting and challenging. She imparts a variety of skills, knowledge and encouragement to her students and always keeps the dog's interest and well-being in mind. I credit much of my success with Ollie to Betty's creativity and assistance. Thank you Betty!" - Julie & U-CD Propwash Trebo Ollie UD,OA,OAJ,CGC/ASCA 2/3 UD, CDX, RV-N, NAC-V, TDI, TDI Inc., TT & U-CD Connor CD, NA, NAP, NAJP CGC, TT (rescue Border Collie)

"Betty is an enthusiastic instructor and makes exercises fun, not work. She is constantly updating her methods and gives new approaches to old exercises. When a problem arises Betty zeros in on the handler as well as the dog to find solutions. The only thing wrong with Betty's lessons is that the time goes by too fast!! Thanks, Betty" - Joanie, U-CD Bessie CDX, /Can/ASCA CD AX, AXJ, CGC, & Gretta Am/Can CD, CGC

"Betty’s enthusiasm, knowledge, and humor make training class a pleasure for both me and my dog. She’s open to new ideas and to finding what works best with each particular dog. She has that whatever-it-is that makes a dog snap to attention and willingly follow her anywhere. Working with Betty has greatly improved my skills as a handler in both obedience and agility. She’s helped me see how important my own performance is in getting the best from my dog." - Catherine Hawkes & Juno

"Betty does more than teach how to train your dog, she teaches you how to communicate with your dog. Her positive, motivational approach to training is exciting, fun, yields fantastic results, and best of all for me is a rewarding way to build a healthy relationship with my dog." - Helen & Kobi

"Really enjoyed class last night! Your lesson was great-- gave me concrete things to work on and made me feel like I can *DO* this :-) Agility has so many layers to it-- it's really exciting for me as a trainer. It's also wonderful to experience being on the student end of clicker training... am always trying to find ways to present material in the most straightforward way possible to my equine clients. Being involved with agility and dog clicker training is important because it will stretch my understanding of what's possible!" - Sarah Stuurman
