www.llewellin.com.
- He is also a Jo-Thor Training Academy graduate,
- He holds the American Kennel Club (AKC) certificate as a Canine Good Citizen (CGC). You can learn more about what that means in our AKC CGC class description section.
- He is superb at "setting" on birds in the field, fast in agility work and, wow, can he catch a Frisbee.
- He's a great tricks trainer.
Together, Pat and Dooper teach people how to teach their dogs. Pat says, "Having Dooper as my 'canine helper' lets students get a better feel of what to do in class. Everyone just "gets it" better when they can watch us demonstrate the move or command, trick or agility event. Dogs even learn from Dooper, you better believe they are watching him. It's kind of cool."
