Tandy Tracer Rainee Mack and Linda Brannon

I lived on working farms in England, Scotland and Canada until 11 years ago.  My father used border Collies to bring in the cattle.  I have owned German Shepherds, Dobermans, Golden Retrievers and now Australian Shepherds.  My mother raised Pekinese.

I started training my Golden Tandy in 1994.  She was awarded 27 titles and two Championships, A UKC Agility Championship and an APDT Rally Championship.  The latter she was ranked #20 nationally in 2005 when she was 12 years old.  At age eleven, she earned an AKC VCD2 which is a versatility title.  Her son Laser achieved AKC VCD1.  He had earned an UKC Agility Championship .  He had 12 titles.  Up to date my Aussie Rainee has 17 titles and we're working on many more.  My other Aussie Tracer has one title.  His titles are more difficult to come by but I'm hoping to change that with lots of training and rewards.

I have taken many seminars by top trainers such as Teri Arnold, Suzanne Clothier, Connie Cleveland to name a few.  I am certified in Level I and II.  I also took a five day course in T-Touch  Linda Tellington Jones and Patricia O'Connel on Dog Behavior.

My Goal is to introduce you to different fun dog sports, such as Rally Obedience, Agility, Tracking and regular Obedience.  I use treats and I have a very positive attitude with my dogs.  They love working for me.  I want to show you how to do that too.
