"My Favorite Teacher"   SUTTER and DONNA PROUDFOOT

"My journey with Sutter began in Puppy class and seemed to have stalled at the Intermediate level, as I researched "How to stop Sutter's zoomies." Instructors, Seminars, Dog Camps, Behaviorists, an Animal Communicator, and Agility friends have all brought us to our first "Q" in 2006. Sutter is almost 5 now and although her "off-leash freedom excursions" happen less often, the love of this special dog has shown me that it is the joy of our journey together and not just the destination that matters. She has taught me patience, forgiveness and to have fun along the way." — Donna
