Cindy Luster MS,NADOI,CPDT-KA,CNWI
CGC, STAR, TRICKS Evaluator
I grew up with a Chihuahua. My breed of choice for the past 40 years has been the German Shepherd. But I appreciate and love them all, big or small, pure bred, or mixed breed.
I have placed titles on my dogs in obedience, rally, tracking, K9 Nosework®️, CGC, and therapy. I have taught all of these venues for 35 plus years. My special interest has been Puppy training and K9 Nosework®️.
I have taken written exams for all of my teaching certifications. I am required to do yearly continuing education to maintain my credentials and be knowledgeable on current training techniques.

Hope Stewart
CGC, STAR, TRICKS Evaluator
I grew up with cats. My first dog was a mix breed, but my breeds since have included German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, and several mixed breeds.
I have been teaching dog obedience for about 25 years with a special interest in basic home manners, tricks and games. I have also been active in Australian Shepherd rescue evaluating dog’s temperament and interviewing prospective homes for the rescued dogs.
I have placed obedience, rally, herding, agility, and K9 Nosework®️titles on my own dogs.
