Meet Dana Richard
I am an AKC certified dog trainer! I’ve been working with dogs and horses ever since I was 6 years old, learning different training techniques and working under and learning from many skilled professionals! I enjoy working with my personal dogs on agility and competing in competitions to earn badges.Currently, I have three dogs of my own; Gunner, my 11 year old Rhodesian ridgeback pit mix, who was in a shelter for 3 years who had many behavioral problems that I trained out to the point where we were able to compete and place. Next is Amo, who is my 3-year-old border collie. Currently we compete in agility, obedience, rally, fastcat and scent work. She is an advanced trick dog and an advanced canine good citizen. Lastly is my rescue border collie Buddy who is 10 years old, I took Buddy in after his owner unfortunately passed away. Despite dealing with epilepsy, he maintains a very positive and happy attitude and is a very valuable asset to my pack as well, being my backup demo dog in place of Amo! I look forward to meeting you and your pup and growing your bond with your pup through training!
