OBEDIENCE INSTRUCTORS
The black one is Chloe (OTCH Windsong's Femme Fatale, UDX4, OM6, VER, RE) she is now 13 and retired. The yellow is her daughter Cookie, (Jamrah's Legally Blonde, UDX3, OM4, BN) who at the time had just made her debut in Beginner Novice! This was at our National in 2018.
Annette Flippin (Pierce) Growing up I always wanted a dog, but my parents wouldn't allow it, so I had to wait until I was an adult. I got my first dog, a Labrador, in 1996 and wanted a well-behaved pet so I looked into training classes at a nearby club and promptly became hooked on training and eventually on competitive obedience. That dog became my Novice A dog and went on to earn a UD and multiple UDX legs before having to be retired due to health issues. All of my subsequent dogs (all Labradors) have earned at least a UD and my most recently retired girl an OTCH. I am currently showing her littermate daughters which has been a fun challenge. One of them was invited to compete in both Masters Obedience at Westminster and the National Obedience Competition this year. I am hoping her sister will be joining her at both next year. My "day" job involves teaching in a graduate psychology program including a class on Work Motivation - you would be surprised how much overlap there is between motivating humans and training dogs! When not teaching and training my favorite activity is to go hiking with my dogs.
