Hello! I'm

Deborah Ghering

As a child I lived next to a riding stable. I spent every spare minute I had helping and watching. There I learned how to ride, train, show, and event horses. At age 18 I bought a completely untouched Appaloosa Mare. I spent many years riding and training her. Jenny turned out amazing. I eventually got married and we were transferred to California. It broke my heart, but I sold Jenny and went on with my new life. About 10 years ago I realized that by having a dog I could build the same connection (even stronger) that I had with horses. Since then I have been showing and training my dogs. They have earned many titles, but most of all I love the moment when they understand what it is that I am asking. I really think it's fun and fullfilling and hope to pass forward my experience and knowledge.

Connection

Dogs generally want to connect with us. The trick is finding what your dog finds value in and linking that value to you.

Companion

Having a dog that can go on hikes or a run on the beach can be a great companion.

Competition

Whether you decide to compete or not. Having a trained dog makes life more enjoyable.
