Hi, I am the owner and one of the Instructor at Indy K-9 Kollege.  I have been training dogs for over 10 years officially.  Ever since I was a child, I've been training dog for the fun of it, nothing official.  I am a member of the APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers).

Currently, I have Four Golden Retrievers.  I have AKC Obedience Titles on two of them.  "Doc" is the one that I am showing at this time.  He has his CD, CDX and CGC through the American Kennel Club. In addition to his titles, he has been able to compete in National Tournaments and even appear on some TV commercials.  He is working towards his UD title right now. 

My dogs and I have also enjoyed doing Pet Therapy at St. Francis Hospital.  Jazmin my oldest dog was made for that.  She truly enjoys going and visiting with the people in the hospital, after about an hour she is exhausted.  She is the mother of my other two dogs - Doc and Annie.

Annie is my stay at home dog.  She enjoys hanging out at home with dad.  I was planning on getting her CD title, but she has seizures and I do not want to put any more stress on her! 

I took over Indy K-9 Kollege in 2001.  I had been an instructor there for some time and decided to give in to my passion and buy the business when the previous owner decided to retire!  I enjoy talking with people everyday about their dogs and want to help people keep their dogs for ever. I have taught Puppy, Basic and Intermediate/Canine Good Citizens classes.  I am a certified AKC Evaluator for CGC and am working toward being certified by Delta and Therapy Dogs International.

Now that you know a little bit about me, please visit the rest of our Web Site and give us a call and see what we can do for you!  I hope to meet you and your dog soon!
