Alice BoucherAlice has been active in obedience since 1982 when she got her first dog, Benjamin Franklin, a Yorkshire Terrier. Together, they earned a CD, CDX, and UD title. Since her success with Benji, she has gone on to earn multiple obedience titles on two other dogs, another yorkie and a Samoyed. She has served as an AKC Obedience Trial Steward since 1983 and judged numerous obedience matches. Because of her interest in helping people build a successful relationship with their dogs, she became a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator in 2006. Currently, she trains and competes in obedience, Rally O, and agility with her Samoyed, Balto, and Jack Russell Terrier, Dani.
Sharon Ware Sharon grew up with, and has always owned, terriers. That changed in 2003 when her sister asked for help with her young border collie, Foster, who was very timid and reactive with people. With much guidance and support from dog trainer Chris Seibert, she began working with Foster in obedience and agility with the goal of building his social skills. A year and a half later, the pair entered their first agility trial and Sharon caught the competition bug. Currently, she trains and competes in agility and Rally O with her Airedale Terriers, Sophie and Ernie, her Airedale nephew Toby, and of course, Foster.
