Maggie Girl (now deceased) had severe shyness. Teaching her tricks has worked to build her confidence. (far left). Sally Girl is my first agility dog; she retired at 9 yrs old! (CPE/NADAC). (right of maggie).

Leroy does obedience. Leroy’s best trick, however, was self taught. He learned to open the refrigerator to steal food. Simple Solution: buy a new refrigerator! (right of sally). Andy performs happily in recreational agility. (far right)

Bodhi (pictured in the ABOUT ME section) is my malinois #1! I compete with him in agility!! Jolie (pictured in the LINKS section) is my newest malinois addition. She started out in Schutzhund (positively done!) but is now working happily in French Ring and Agility.

Sally, Maggie, Leroy, and Andy were adopted from shelters. This proves -- no matter how old a dog may be, or where they come from, they can be taught and continue to learn.
