Kathy has always had a passion for all animals, especially dogs. Thru the span of her life she has had many different experiences with different dogs across a broad range of breeds and has always been interested in training. She trained her first dog in obedience at the age of 12. Since then, she has been involved in many aspects of the dog world – breeding, rescue, show and obedience, which developed into her passion for K9 sports.

Kathy lived most of her on Long Island where she raised her 3 children. In 1998, she met Jack. A few years later, they got married and moved to the Hudson Valley. Together they share their life with 5 dogs.
