Students
Oreo and I have been training with Linda since 1995! We began puppy obedience classes and right away I loved Linda's positive training methods. Her extensive knowledge of dogs and their behaviour has helped me with training issues over the years. I was thrilled when Linda decided to offer agility classes. Oreo and I were among her first students and since those early years I have continued to enjoy agility classes. Thanks to Linda's committment and encouragement Oreo has achieved her CD and Agility Championship of Canada. Here in our quiet corner of the world, we are so fortunate to have Linda, with her talents and knowledge, helping us become all that we can with our wonderful canine friends.

I have been training with Linda in obedience and then agility for the last
10 years with two dogs: Tyler, an English Springer and Tanu, a Standard
Poodle. Linda's positive training methods and extensive knowledge of dogs
and their behavior has really helped me over the last number of years .
With Linda's training, Tyler has achieved his Masters Agility Title and
Tanu is two qualifying rounds from his Canadian Agility Championship . This
would not have been possible without Linda's help. We are very lucky to
have her talents and knowledge in the Kootenays . Thanks Linda !

Linda is amazing. She has a lot of knowledge of dog behaviour and training
but she also has excellent observation skills and insight into the dynamics
of the dog/handler pair. She makes learning fun and positive for both me
and my dog. Linda is also very patient!
Over the years all of my dogs have been to at least one of Linda's classes,
including obedience, agility and rally-obedience. My youngest dog, Parker,
and I are currently doing agility and rally-o with Linda and we are having
fun while learning. Friends and family comment on how 'good' my dogs are
because they listen and respond to what I ask of them. Linda has provided
me with the tools to make this possible.
