Obedience 3 extends the depth of instructional content with Joanne Fleming, a Canadian dog sport competitor and coach known for her powerful motivational approach to dog training. Joanne's students have achieved multiple high-in-trials, Regional and National wins as well as International placements in competitive obedience and the dog sports Schutzhund and IPO. In 2007 Joanne won the LV DVG America Schutzhund Championships and went on to place 5th at the DVG Bundessieger Prüfung in Germany with her dog Enno vom Fuchsstein. She has competed with 5 breeds in multiple disciplines with tremendous success and attracts crowds at her many seminars on multiple continents.
“Joanne’s methodical approach to training produces not only a dog that enjoys training but also fosters the intangible bond that’s achieved through working with animals when they are a partner in the process,” commented Doug Calhoun, writer, director and producer. “Joanne is a trainer among trainers and dogs trained in her method are unmistakable when seen; precision coupled with love of working”
