Carrie
Owner/Dog Trainer/Wildlife Biologist/Ethologist
Hello!
My name is Carrie and I am a dog trainer, a wildlife biologist, and a certified Family Dog Moderator. I have been training dogs for other people for over 30 years. I started when I was young, and have worked with many dog breeds and thousands of dogs over the years. I hold three degrees in wildlife biology, and have worked with wild and feral dog management as well as natural resource management. I have formal education in animal behavior and have trained not only dogs, but have worked with training black bears, cougars, lions, grey wolves, camels, ibex, meerkats, lemurs, and wallabies. I am also a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and the International Association of Canine Professionals. For a short while, I was running animal control for an area in North Dakota and worked with the local rescue in the area as well as local police departments and helped with assessing dogs to go to their forever homes. I am also a foster failure, with three of my dogs coming from the dog catcher – a heeler mix, and a vizsla mix, and one a medical foster fail. The rest of my ‘pack’ consists of a cockapoo, a springer puppy, one cat, two bunnies, chickens, two toddlers, and a husband. 😁🐾

Canine Obedience Demonstrator and Class Clown, semi-retired conservation dog
I am a lovable, playful, over excited dog that loves to work! I excel at being my mother’s demonstrater during obedience classes and will do anything for the ball or treats.
Annie
Protector of mom, class demonstrator, semi retired conservation dog
I am loyal to my mom and will show my teeth to anyone I don’t like. I also demonstrate behavior for my mom during training classes, often I show what bad behavior looks like. I had a rough start to life, and because of that, I need a little extra care. My mom is the best and shows me that the world is not a scary place.
Hazel
new puppy, demonstration dog, conservation dog
I am the new member of the group and right now I am in the learning phase. I am going to be a conservation dog when I grow up, and I can’t wait!
