Meet the Business Owner

Norma N.

Business Owner

Animals have always

played a large role in my

life and I can’t remember a

time when I wasn’t

surrounded by creatures of

all shapes and sizes. My

career as a dog trainer

started at age 12 with a

new Sheltie pup and a

promise to my parents, she

would be well trained. That

little puppy was responsible

for my love of showing,

training and teaching.

I’ve shown and titled breeds from all seven American Kennel Club groups in Obedience, Conformation,

Agility, Herding, Tracking and have participated in Schutzhund, Sledding, Weight Pulling, Carting and

Search and Rescue. After 31 years, two hundred and thirteen AKC titles and the opportunity to show

client’s dogs all over the world, I know I am blessed to have my passion as my profession. Currently, I

am living in the Lake Nona/​Narcoossee area with my wonderful husband, eleven horses, three kitties

and eight pooches. I’m looking forward to meeting you, your family and your «little furry friends»!
