Competitive Instruction, Run-Throughs, Basic Pet Obedience or Problem Solving Issues with Sue Averill
A results based trainer with over 25 years of experience. I started obedience as a Volhard student, graduating to assisting in classes and seminars and caring for Volhard's dogs. A move further east brought me to work for Mary Ferentino when she opened Good Dog Training Center in Albany. Later, a job offer at Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue move me to Central Massachusetts and Clover Hill Training Center. My interest in the sport of obedience led me to participate in clinics and camps with many different competitive instructors, increasing my training toolbox. For the past 17 years, I assessed, retrained and found loving adoptive homes for over 3000 rescue Goldens and Golden mixes. At the same time, I was teaching pet obedience classes along with an ongoing multi level competitive obedience classes. Though it all, I have competed and titled my own Aussies in Obedience, Herding, Rally, and agility, several attaining national ranking for their breed including a Champion Peke ranked #1 obedience in the Northeast. Recently, my youngest dog Nanas competed at her National Specialty for Most Versatile Aussie.

Agility Class with Kim Davis
Kim has been training, competing and teaching agility for 25 years. After some frustration with not being able to get the same behavior at trial that she did in practice, Kim sought a new way of learning. In 2003, she began training regularly with Susan Garrett of Say Yes. Kim continued her training at Say Yes under many instructors including Greg & Laura Derrett, Mary Ellen Barry, Jen Pindar, Rick DeAmelio and World Team Coach Tracy Sklenar. Kim has since studied agility with Tara Baggerman who has brought so much knowledge and inspiration back to the sport. Though Tara, Kim has trained with world renowned instructors Anthony Clarke, Aaron Froude and Joe Boudreau.
Kim's Labrador, Treasure, has 2 AKC MACH titles, numerous qualifications to the National Agility Championships as well as being in the Top 25 Labradors 3 years in a row. Kim is currently downsizing to train her new little guy: a 5# Chihuahua Mix named Buster.
