Shade Whitesel (she/her) has been training and competing in dog sports since she was a kid. Always curious in how dogs learn, she teaches people how to get along with their dogs in all behavior things, as well as competing in the sports of IGP and AKC Obedience.
Though Shade is owned by highly motivated working line German Shepherds and is known currently for her toy skills and marker cues classes, (On line through Fenzidogsportsacademy and in physical seminars) she especially enjoys teaching foundation skills to all manner of dogs and their people. Good training and learning starts at the beginning with clear reinforcement and motivation for both parties.
Sports wise; Shade enjoys IGP (Schutzhund) and AKC obedience. Her current dog Talic, recently entered the AKC scene and scored 3 straight High in Trials earning his CD. He should be ready for the Open level this spring.
Access to Shade can be found at shadesdogtraining.net and she is on Instagram and FaceBook. She currently has a Patreon page, Eye on Ion, that details out how to raise a young sport puppy.
