Her dogs have titled in numerous performance events such as conformation, obedience, rally, and agility.

After moving to Oklahoma in 1992 she continued to show obedience and became involved with Therapy Dog International.

DeAnn came to the Academy in January 2018 as a student with the Animal Behavior College. She graduated with honors. She was immediately welcomed on board as an instructor/trainer. She has been a wonderful addition to our staff. DeAnn has multiple areas of expertise including nutrition and diet, massage, and is certified in Pet CPR.
All of the following classes at CSA are taught by DeAnn: beginner puppy, polite puppy, beginner basic and interim. Also, an AKC Evaluator teaching CGC, CGCA, CGCU classes. Her love of animals and helping people is very evident.
Heather came to us in April 2014 as an intern for the Animal Behavior College. After completing her curriculum she stayed on board for five years. Her departure was because the military transferred her husband to Japan. We are thrilled they came back to Oklahoma. While in Japan she had the opportunity to work with the Misawa Pet Kennel and Junko Koutsuka at Pawers Wish. There she was able to provide a variety of classes for all training levels and help host some fun events for both the Americans on base as well as the local Japanese population. Thrilled she rejoined our team!
Susan worked her dogs in numerous events from Conformation to Obedience and Rally. She had a great personality and helped new people feel comfortable training their dogs. She passed away quite suddenly. We miss her dearly. Susan was the sister of Sandy Ludwig.
