Proud K9 Dog Obedience
MissY doing CDX work

Very "Proudly", Fox River Dog Obedience and Proud-Haus Shepherds have joined hands to become Proud K9 Dog Obedience!!
I, myself, have been training my own dogs since I was a grade schooler, exhibiting in obedience since I was a little thing, learning from my family. In 1999, I began working with Carol Lyon, owner of Fox River Dog Obedience; and actually knew my grandmother from the kennel club they both belonged to and that Carol eventually worked at as their obedience trainer. Funny what a small world it is!!!! As 30+ years of training went by for Carol, she started looking for a replacement so "there will still be good dog training in this area for people to get when I'm gone." In 2001, I took over as owner and head trainer of Fox River Dog Obedience, expanding on the programme that Carol had started all those years ago. Today, I use MissY as my full-time dog, as well as one of my demo dogs in the obedience programme.
