Testimonials
“I went there to have my dogs evaluated for their interest in barn hunt with Margot. I appreciated the fact that she did evals to make sure it was a good fit for the dog. The dog I was expecting to love it was terrified of the rat and my shy one was trying to open the tube doors. It’s a smaller training site but easy to find. Bring your own crate as they only have a couple available on site.”

“Karen is an excellent trainer for show dog handling. So much so that I drive two hours for a 1 hour private lesson. During the pandemic I even used her for Zoom lesson. I’m amazed at what she sees. Highly recommended.”
