| Kathy and Barry |
Kathy started training her young 8 month old female German Shepherd, Mandee in the early Spring of 2006. Kathy was very good with the training and went on to repeat classes then to the Advanced Classes and the Agility Classes. Kathy and Mandee graduated at 1st place in the Advanced Classes.
January of 2007 Kathy’s husband, Barry started training their new 7 month old male German Shepherd, Marshal. Than in December of 2007 they started training their newest female German Shepherd, Misti, in the classes. |

Now all 3 dogs have been through the Advance Classes the Agility Classes and are also Therapy Dog. Mandee and Marshal have become a Read Dog with the Paws to Read Program.
It is a familiar sight to see Barry with all three German Shepherds for the socialization and the obedience at the dog class.
Kathy was raised on a small farm in Kansas. They had cows, chickens, dogs, cat and rabbits. She had her own pony she trained herself.
In the late 80’s Kathy and Barry move to our area. Now they are living on a couple of acres of land where they have plenty of room for all the animals to run.
Working with animal comes very natural for Kathy because of her live experiences.
We are very fortunate to have Kathy to help with the training classes. |

| Robin |
Robin has had many dog companions in her life from her first dog (as an infant) a Boston Terrier named Robin’s Tiger to her current adorable toy poodle named Jasmine. “My Mom probably still cringes when she thinks of all the strays that “just followed me home” sometimes with encouragement” Robin says.
After a few years without a dog, due to apartment living, Robin got Jasmine as a puppy in 2006. Jasmine was supposed to her daughter’s dog, but the busy life of a high school senior and the needs of a new puppy just didn’t match up. Jasmine formed a bond with Robin and they started training together with Guaranteed Dog Training that summer. Following the philosophy that even a small dog should be trained, socialized and well-mannered, Robin has taken Jasmine through beginner and two advanced classes as well as two years of agility. They graduated 1st in Advanced Obedience in 2007 & 2008 and have recently earned Jasmine’s Canine Good Citizen Certification. |

|
| Robin continues to work on Jasmine’s obedience training at home and has even constructed a few agility obstacles to practice on. She has found that she truly enjoys working with and training dogs and while Jasmine is waiting for the next advanced class to begin, Robin has continued to come to class to help out and share her experience with the beginners. |

| Sandi |
Sandi has lived in the San Joaquin Valley forever and was raised in Linden, where she had horses, pigs, cows, chickens, cats and of course dogs. She has a life time training and taming experience with lots of animals.
She started bringing Bandit, when he was 2 years old in 2008, to see if it would calm him down.
“Bandit and I were taking a walk and were almost attacked by a dog that was not on a leash or in a fenced yard, if a passer by would not have helped, it would have been a real ugly situation, I had a hard time controlling Bandit as he wanted to protect me. That is when I went in search for dog training. “
“I loved the fact that the training classes have a controlled environment. There was such an improvement in Bandit with just the beginning class, that we continued to advance and agility classes”.
Sandi wanted to help others get the same results so she started helping in the Dog Classes.

|
“When Bandit and I go places everyone wants a dog like ‘Bandit ‘(a trained dog)”.

Now Marie brings her 2 dogs to class, Sir a 10 year old Lowchen and Rocky a 5 year old Papillon.

We are very happy to have Marie as part of the team with all those years of experience. |
