I am not your typical handler; I connect with each dog in a way that trust and fun makes our presence in the ring known. For me, a dog should be having fun every time we step into the ring. The stronger the bond between dog and handler, the better the handling and success. Friendship goes a long way in the dog show community. Building a bond between owners and dogs

makes the dog show ring a breeze and with winning comes even more pride and happiness. I love dogs, every breed. With each breed and with each dog comes a different personality and the joy of showing that dog’s personality off is more than anything in this world. This is the reason I became a professional handler- to watch dogs come alive at the end of the lead that I am holding. I am so lucky to have the ability to lead dogs to shine in the show rings across the country and witness their growth. It would be an absolute joy to work with you and your dogs in and out of the show ring. I hope you visit my website and let me become your handler at future AKC events. Thank you,

It’s finally hitting our normal high heat for the summer season with a high of 80 today (which feels a lot hotter up here) so we got the dog pool ready finally for the summer. Dui was super helpful getting it ready and being the first to take a dip!

Have your worked your dog’s brain today? We love a good nap after some healthy brain work 🥰

DUI is nearing enough new tricks to earn his Trick Dog Intermediate title and soon I’ll be engaging his brain in not only confirmation but I want to get back into the rally ring and soon the agility ring!

Papillons are smart little guys and love to work, mine especially are highly food motivated creatures! They are not your typical couch potato (though Aiden is 14 and is allowed to be) and they like to work!

DUI is my foundation of everything from my past going into my future. Dog showing is not all we focus on at Snow Beard Kennels; we breed on health and function! I highly encourage all my current and future puppy owners to find an outlet for their dog ❤️ I encourage all dog owners to find a sport for their dog! Not only does it give them a “job” but it helps securing a bigger bond with your 4 legged friend!

Fun fact: Did you know I was the first junior to earn a Rally Novice title on a dog in the state of Alaska when rally first became an AKC sport? And one of the first in the country! It’s something I am looking forward to getting back into, as well as, agility 💙

Now get out and train!

Our high five professional! His mother Darling also high fives and will always be where treats may be found 😂

Keeping his little mind occupied with some new tricks - he learned high five in about 5 minutes 🥰 this is after some successful slow starts with a treat tucked under my thumb to enhance the “pawing” to my hand with our clicker to “mark” the correct behavior being asked. After a few successful moments we moved to no cookie in my asking hand to just a cookie in my clicker hand to reward the behavior when successfully completed. We got to where the cookie was then on the counter and rewarded with the mark. I will post his outside video where I let him be done with the trick for a bit and then asked for the new behavior with no clicker to mark or treat that was super successful and he was rewarded greatly afterwards!

Disco time with DUI 🥰

Dui hates standing still, the moment we stop, tail drops lol He’s also working on his table confidence! We are getting there! I’m very proud of him and how he did this weekend!
