Ann de Toth has been training dogs since 1986, starting with Alex, a red Doberman. The beginning of her training experience was centered on obedience (there was no such thing as rally at that time) and she had to be adept since her first dog moved into their studio apartment with her and her husband and they were not permitted to have dogs there. Ann has trained dogs in novice, open and utility obedience, as well as tracking, rally and therapy dog. Her dogs have earned the titles of Companion Dog, Companion Dog Excellent, Therapy Dog, and Rally Excellent. (She did earn a leg towards a Utility title with a dog before the dog was diagnosed with hip dysplasia.) Although Ann loves owning large dogs, she is just as adept at helping trainers with small dogs. “I have found rally an excellent way of introducing dogs to the sport of competitive obedience,” she says. “Handlers are more relaxed and interact better with their dogs, who enjoy the experience in the ring and learn to focus on their handlers throughout the course. That interaction is essential and strengthens the bond between dog and handler – whether or not they plan to show formally in the future.” |
