Brooke is a 1 year old yellow lab who is currently training in Rally Obedience, a CGC Course and Tricks using the Clicker method. She owns Dan, Diane and Sam

Telly is a 2yr old corgi mix.  She started agility lessons "just for fun"  because her mom wanted to do something as a   "bonding activity". But Telly caught on quickly, loved doing it and gained so much confidence and "spunk" that her mom is now   considering competition (just for fun). She also loves Astrid and can't wait to get out of the car when we arrive for her lessons. Lana Gale

Terry and Sonny have been taking a Rally course with Astrid Smith as the instructor. Astrid started another Rally course in January and is also teaching a CGC course that Sonny and Terry are currently attending. They are also learning to use the Clicker.

Bear and Wiley are from the same litter, born in Ocala, FL on March 23, 2006.  They are wonderful goldens and after working with Astrid they are two boys that I can be proud of where ever we are.  Both have total different learning techniques, so Astrid gives different instruction for each dog which has been a lifesaver for me. All dogs are different and it helps to know how to train them for their own individual needs!  Christine

Bear is currently training in Rally and Wiley is enrolled in theCGC course.

Hannah is my pride and joy, when she's not in the ring competing for titles, or tearing up the track in lure coursing or racing, she's by my side serving me as my service dog. Since working with Astrid she's become more focused and, if possible, more in tune with me, with Astrid's guidance I expect to be able to do many more wonderful things with Hannah.  We can't say enough good things about Astrid and her methods!!!

Zeppelin is a Great Dane Boxer mix that I adopted from the shelter. He came to me with seperation anxiety and fear of men.I started clicker training with Astrid and saw a huge change in his personality as he became more confident and our bond grew stronger. I am amazed at the response I got from him when we started to use Astrid's techniques. He is a fast an eager learner and he sees training as fun and rewarding. I am so glad that I have learned how to build a positive relationship based on trust with my dog. Liz Paton
