Christina Wakefield started teaching in 1998 and her specialty is teaching Dog Agility classes of all levels, including distance skills.

Marilyn Gormley took her first dog Obedience Class in the early 1970’s when she bought her first Golden Retriever. She named her energetic girl Maggie. With effort and perseverance on her part to communicate and understand dog behavior, the foundation was established and the results were gratifying. She was hooked on the relationship and bond that developed with obedience training. In the mid 1980’s, she began showing in Obedience Trials and in the late 1980’s, started instructing Obedience Classes. She also got her AKC Obedience Judges license to judge all Obedience Classes. She has placed 5 Obedience Trial Champion titles on her dogs. She has won 5 National Obedience Tournaments, has Nationally ranked dogs, has many 200 scores, and has many High in Trial and High Combined awards. She excels because she loves the “detailed” training. She has been involved in Pet Therapy, AKC Scent Work, AKC Tracking , AKC Hunt Tests, AKC Obedience, and has dabbled in Agility. She considers herself a positive, balanced, Dog Trainer with good common sense!

Ann Embry started training in 2007 after adopting a “problem” dog.  Henry led Ann through many tough lessons.  Ann learned very quickly that she didn’t have the tools to handle Henry’s behavior issues and that training for her and this dog was the only option.  She committed then to learn as much as possible to make life better for herself and her dogs.  After catching the “Agility Bug” with Henry in 2008 the family soon grew with Trooper.  Trooper is Ann’s son’s dog, so the training led to mentoring too.  The teams found Christina in 2010 and have trained with her since.  Henry earned titles in Agility and Rally before being retired due to medical issues at the age of 4.  Next came Chexha in 2010.  Adopted at the age of 2 Chexha brought a whole new set of challenges. She was very timid and withdrawn. But persistence pays.  In 2018, Trooper was  #4, and Chexha was the #5 preferred American Eskimos in AKC Agility.  In 2019 Trooper was #1 and Chexha was #2 12” preferred American Eskimo as ranked by Breed Power Magazine.  Both Trooper and Chexha have earned the AKC MACH title, Chexha has earned a PACH title, and Chexha has earned the TeaCup TACH4.  Unafraid of facing the challenges of the atypical breed or dog in Agility Ann now trains and trials three more adopted/rescued dogs.  She believes every dog deserves the best we can give them and trains with only positive, patient methods
