Linda Shea has been actively training since she was 8 years old. She has raised and trained Beagles, Poodles, Golden Retrievers, Belgian Tervurens, Shelties, All American dogs, rabbits, horses and a collection of miscelleneous critters

Nearly 40 years later she is as ever fascinated, intrigued and often amused with our relationships with our pets

Linda’s formal training has been in business, clothing design and nursing. But there was no denying that training dogs and working with people is her passion.

Linda's Training Philosophy, "I often I see my teams thinking as a single unit they understand each other so well. I love to see them training or competing, relaxed, having fun and able to enjoy their time together. The results of this training are priceless. Success comes with integrity, respect, patience, creativity and humor. The relationship between a dog and handler grows through this kind of competition training."

Linda (on left with clip board) loves working with all breeds including two great Newfoundlands and their trainers. Linda notes, "My students are able to relax, train and have fun. They set their own goals and share their accomplishments with fellow students. We have fun. I really think that is how it should be."
