We'll use positive training methods to achieve your personal goals. You are the one living with your dog - and you have your own ideas about what you need to enjoy your dog.  My job is to help you meet these goals - your goals, not mine.

My job is to give you skills to use now and in the future.  I want you to be able to work through new situations and problems with the tools I've given you.


Together we will build a stronger relationship with your dog,
and solve problems that may be preventing you from enjoying your canine companion .

Any age/and breed dog is welcome. Deaf/Blind dogs are welcome - I compete with a deaf dog and a deaf/blind dog, so there's no reason they can't do complex and fun activities too.
You and I will train at your home or in a group class to solve problems efficiently.

Specialized training in herding and carting is available as well--any age/any breed.

Working with dogs and their handlers for the past 8 years, I have emphasized
positive methods and enjoyable experiences in both my group classes and individual
instruction. I have worked with many breeds, and my involvement in a variety of dog
activities allows me to see the potential in every dog/owner team.

Happy Holidays from Frost and his nephews at Deep River Collies!

Frost is a fine example of what a dog can do with the right training a little bit a day

- he's got his CGC, his RLI rally obedience title, and does carting and backpacking.
