”I started training with Derrick in 2017 with my counter surfing Australian Labradoodle, Tucker. I was amazed in the changes in my dog’s behavior in just a short period of time. We quickly started training on the competition team and earned many AKC Obedience and Rally titles.
I love the bond that training has enhanced with Tucker. We enjoy being able to travel, off leash hike, and attend public events without worrying about his behavior. Tucker is a confident, highly trained dog and we receive many compliments on his training each time we are out.
In 2020, we became a certified Therapy Dog Team thru Therapy Dogs International. Tucker CD PCD BN RA CGCA CGCU TKN” - Shelly Haws
