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.

Misti Jolliff
Alliance of Therapy Dogs Tester Observer
I have had dogs my whole life, but my love for the herding group began at the age of
of 9 with my first Collie, Lassie. I have had various breeds over the years, but I am partial to the Collies and Sheltland Sheepdogs. However, they all steal my heart!
As a child I worked with my dogs doing tricks and basic obedience. As an adult I have been able to do more advanced training and competition sports, having over 20 years of experience. I have placed titles on my dogs in obedience, rally, agility, tricks, CGC and therapy. My heart is in the therapy work. We visit various facilities and events trying to put a smile on as many faces as possible.
