Introduction	I live with my three performing animals: two dogs and a cat. I've performed with my pets in five countries, and have appeared on live TV for audiences of up to 20 million people. The animals have also been in Hallmark cards, Purina ads, TV commercials, and a sitcom. I've been competing in dog sports since 1977 and have earned 64 titles in eleven categories: obedience, rally, agility, conformation, tracking, herding, earthdog, schutzhund, tricks, weight pull, and versatility. We've also done large public demos of additional sports, such as musical freestyle, carting, disc dog, UK working trials, and flyball. I have an M.S. in Zoology/Animal Behavior, and worked in the past as a dog behavior consultant and trainer.
