All it took was passion, diligence, and a little luck along the way.

Thurman won Best in Show, confident and happy to please. His son Mico won Best Baby Puppy in Show.

Training was fun yet precise, building focus, posture, and joyful gaiting.

Dogs shine when practice is engaging—and for a trainer, watching that confidence grow is pure passion and fulfillment.
