BARB Gordon is the TRAINER -
TEACHER and OWNER of the WEST PLANES CANINE SCHOOL

I have been training dogs for competition obedience since 1988.
I train and compete in AKC, CKC, and UKC and ASCA obedience and agility.
I learned about dogs from raising, owning and training them - let me pass my knowledge on to you and your dog.
I learned and will teach you how to form a lasting and meaningful bond
that has taken us to the top of the obedience rungs.

I also write obedience articles
for several regional and National club newsletters and annuals.

Barb says - My first dogs were Bouviers. - They are still my first dogs.
I realized early on that learning to think and talk dog
was the path to true companionship.
I started to share that knowledge and experience with dogs and their people.
Currently I have trained my Bouviers to three Utility titles, My Golden Retriever to an Obedience trial Championship, an Utility Dog Excellent 2, Agility Excellent title, and a Working Certificate in field, and into the American Golden Retriever Hall of Fame.
My dogs have earned many all breed and breed specific High In Trials and have been among the top trained competitive obedience dogs in the US and Canada.
