Two-time National Champion Nita Woulf enjoys working with difficult & "hard to train" breeds. She took a dog that was scheduled to be put down due to fear biting, and made her a 2-time National Agility Champion! Accomplishments:
"After working in the health care field as a pediatric occupational therapist for the past 18 years, it was time for a career change, so I'm now living my dream by working with dogs full-time! Besides all the doggy stuff, I also enjoy camping, downhill skiing, riding my motorcycle and reading. Right now we have 7 dogs, 1 hamster and 3 cats." Click Here to read about Nita's dogs. |

| Lynn Busse, Agility Instructor Lynn Busse has owned and trained Labrador Retrievers for 12 years now. It all started with her first Lab, Penny when Lynn had to prove to her husband that dogs could be well behaved members of the family! She now has four Labs: Penny and Elle, 12 year old littermates, 6 year old Phoebe and 7 month old puppy, Ruby. Lynn has taught obedience classes for 10 years and is a former Director of Obedience at Winnegamie Dog Club. Lynn's true passion with dog training is teaching and training for dog agility. She feels it is the way to truly develop a sense of teamwork between dog and handler. Lynn has been competing in agility with her Labs for 8 years now and is currently working on acheiving a Master Agility Champion title with Phoebe. Lynn enjoys playing the Hunt Test game with her Labs as well. It is a joy to see these wonderful dogs do what they have been bred to do and last summer Lynn was thrilled to have Phoebe attain her Junior Hunter title. She is continuing retriever training and hopes to work toward Master Hunter titles with both Phoebe and Ruby. Lynn is also a certified AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator. When she's not training and playing with her dogs, Lynn is the Office Manager at American Animal Hospital in Neenah. Her human family includes husband of 23 years, Ken, 21 year old daughter, Christina and 16 year old son, Eric. Lynn also enjoys camping and hiking, gardening and reading in her spare time. Lynn is excited and honored to join Nita at Clever K-9s and is looking forward to being a part of the best dog training facility in the Fox Valley! Andrea West, Instructor Ever since I can remember I have loved animals especially dogs. I grew up with dogs; and each and every one was required to go to dog class. So I learned the importance of this at a very young age, but I have also seen the vast improvement in the techniques we use to train dogs. Currently I own 2 Samoyeds. Teddy is almost 4 years old and Chloe is less than a year. Both of them train for the sport of agility, Chloe is too young to compete yet. Teddy has the following agility titles: UAG I, OA, AXJ. They both just recently completed there Canine Good Citizen Test. I am also trying out the confirmation ring with Chloe. Any activities you can participate in with your dog helps the two of you bond to a whole new level. Get out there, get involved, and Have Fun!!!!!! I am very active with Wisconsin Samoyed Rescue. I have fostered many dogs and each dog brings with it their own learning experience for me. I am a current member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Plus I have taken and completed the First Aid Class for Pets. Jessica Rauth, Instructor I've been involved with dog training for three years, since the arrival of our fur baby Stella (3 year old Lhasa Apso)! Buddy our 3 year old Shih Tzu fur baby was adopted from the Fuzzy Paws Shih Tzu Rescue in Peoria IL, a year after we got Stella. They are best buds and their turn-ons are chasing rabbits, chasing each other and sleeping. Their turn offs: being told to get off the couch and having their ears plucked! I also have attended grooming class and enjoy grooming my two little squirts. Louise Torkelson, Back-up Instructor Hi I am Louise Torkelson, I have had dogs all my life which has been alot of years. For the last 8 years I have been a 4H Dog Project Leader for Outagamie Co, I also teach beginning agility at WDC. Currently I have 2 Smooth Collies ages 6 and 6 mo and compete with sophie in agility (working on our championship) and have recently started rally and herding. The puppy just started competing in conformation and I plan on her having a great future in all aspects of competion. I really enjoy working with dogs and have met alot of great people and new friends along the way. |
