| “Agility” taught by top-winning masters-level agility trainers. Where winning is FUN! |
| "Obedience" taught for practical everyday uses! |
| At Blue Ribbon K-9 Training Center we believe motivating dogs through food and play, training becomes a fun experience for both handler and dog! Our instructors, Therese Fleming and Karen Graham have taught at every level, with a combined total of almost fifeteen years of experience. With 10 dogs of their own, these ladies have earned Sixty Two agility titles and 5 obedience titles. Both have competed in the AKC Agility Nationals where Therese and her Sheltie Fletch, placed 7th in 2000, 6th in 2001 (which earned the team a spot on the Animal Planet). Karen & Festus (wirehaired dachshund) have received an invitation to the AKC Agility Invitational to be held in Dec. 2006 in Long Beach, Calif. where only the top 5 dogs of each breed are invited to compete. He also recently finished his MACH title making him one of the few TC or Triple Champions in the history of the American Kennel Club. “Fletch” holds the title of “MACH4” which is one of the highest Agility Titles one can achieved. "Festus" was ranked #2 AKC Agility Dachshund in 2005. |
| We teach so that each dog will be properly trained from the beginning. With careful attention to each detail along the way, no short cuts are taken! This eliminates the need to retrain and assures our students the best opportunity for eventual competition. A dog who requires “retraining” is rarely as fast or reliable to competition. Classes are taught outdoors on grass and “Beginner” level classes use low-to- the ground equipment to help build speed and confidence. Group and/or private lessons are available for beginner puppies through advanced competitors. |

| We are not a “club”. We are a private training Center, dedicated to helping our students reach their highest potential while having fun with “Man’s Best Friend”. |
| Directions to practice field: Take I-20 to Thomas Rd exit, go south, turn right at the second red light onto Downing Pines Rd. You will pass a little white house on the left and the driveway for the field is just past that. It's off the road just a bit, fully fenced in with a portable building. Blue Ribbon sign hanging on fence. Can't miss it! |
