My Dogs

Knappogue's Tough Act to Follow "Rutabaga" and GCH CH INTCH UCH UWP Hg's Quite Contrary BCAT RATN "Clash"

I use Rudy (age 13, APBT/beagle) and Clash (age 3, purebred beagle) frequently in my training sessions. They are socially and emotionally balanced dogs, and are great at correcting socially underdeveloped dogs. Clash adapts to each of his playmates and changes accordingly (is gentle with scared dogs, and is a little harder with rough dogs), and Rutabaga does NOT tolerate rude or bad behavior. Both are dog neutral and help model proper behavior for reactive dogs.

​​

Their achievements:

Rudy is titled in agility, lure coursing, Fast CAT, barn hunt and has passed his AKC temperament test and Farm Dog Certification with flying colors. He regularly trains for weight pull, dock diving, blood trailing, barn hunt, scent work, and rally.

​

Clash is a Champion of Record in three different venues (AKC, UKC, and IABCA) as well as an AKC Grand Champion. He was Select Dog (Second Best Male) at Westminster 2023, and you can watch our performance on YouTube! While he's a beautiful boy, he also loves FastCAT, blood trailing, scent work, barn hunt, agility, weight pull, and rally.

​

Both dogs have been trained with e-collars (primarily for recall). Rudy responded so well to the e-collar that he no longer needs it, and has a perfectly reliable off-leash heel and recall. I solely use E-collar Tech collars and am a dealer for them, which means you receive a hefty discount. Not all of my clients will ever use the e-collar, but I believe it is an important option to have in my "toolbox".
