I took two classes because Greta was a heathen and here we are now with titles in rally and obedience. We compete in whatever she seems to like (rally, obedience, Barnhunt, scentwork, ect). Atticus prefers to protect the couch at home and is a therapy dog.

Karen - Kami, Driver, Ch. Miina, Ch. Daysi, and Romy (Samoyeds)

I became a member of the VDOC in 1984, beginning my journey into obedience, agility & therapy work. Over the years I served as president (2 yrs), secretary (2 yrs) and treasurer (25 yrs). Instructing obedience classes proved to be very fulfilling and I've retired after 25 years. I was on the ground floor of the Canine Good Citizen testing and am an Evaluator. I believe that if you don’t give back to your sport, soon you will not have one! Although my heart has taken me to the conformation ring what I love most about this club is the knowledge of its membership.

Pauline - Gunner, Rocky, and Lacie (Australian Shepherds), Dollie (Yorkshire Terrier), and Pixie (Rat Terrier X)

I have been a long time member of VDOC and ASCA, have competed and titled in agility and rally, and am beginning to show in conformation. Each of my dogs have their CGC Titles. I have been the instructor for the clubs puppy/beginner obedience classes for many years.

Tracy - Valor (German Shepherd), Bohdi, Wylie, Rizzo and Lacie (Australian Shepherds)

I have been training dogs for approximately 20 years and have competed in agility and obedience for the last 16 year. I’ve also dabbled in other areas like herding, scent discrimination, and conformation. My passion is learning about dog behavior. I read, watch, and study it like a nerd. My breeds are Australian Shepherd and German Shepherd. I love working with herding breeds. I also do the evaluations for the Star Puppy tests and Canine Good Citizen.
