Karen was born in England and moved to the U.S. in 1978. She began agility training in 1998 and competes at the highest levels of USDAA and AKC. Karen has taught at both Canine Capers Agility Club in Atlanta, GA. and the Shamrock Dog Training Club in Louisville, KY. Clicker training is one of her areas of expertise and she has attended workshops by Emma Parsons, Virginia Broitman, Sherry Lipman, Caroline Barney, Kathy Sdao, and Julie Daniels to name but a few.

 

She has graduated with distinction from the Karen Pryor Clicker Training Academy and currently, she is the only trainer in North Carolina with this prestigious national certification. Her current project is a dog aggressive GSD rescue who is otherwise absolutely adorable, and she says, her best teacher to date. Karen especially enjoys trick training with her dogs: Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Tess and True, Border Collie Tag and GSD Cheyenne. The cats won't be left out of the fun either.
