We have dedicated this page and those linked on the
left to our students and their dogs. Each month we will showcase one of
our current students and their dog below. Check back regularly to see if
it may be you!
Pictures of our agility and obedience classes, our students who
are competing, and those who have accomplished major milestones with their dogs can be
found on the linked pages to the left.
Enjoy!

Student of the Month
Jan Frick and her dogs, Travie, Rebecca, and Daisy
Jan began training with us in 2005 in agility with
Rebecca and Traveler. Both dogs participated in private training an
d
were doing very well. Rebecca was also being shown in the conformation
ring, so Jan decided to focus on Traveler in agility. Rebecca did
well in the breed ring and earned her Championship quickly as Traveler
was about to enter his first agility trial. Jan and Traveler began
working as a team in a short amount of time and started to earn
qualifying runs. Traveler now has his
Novice Standard Agility title and his Novice Jumpers with Weaves title!
Currently Jan and Traveler are competing in the Open agility ring and
are doing very well.
Jan also has a n
ew
girl, Daisy. She will be two this year and shows a lot of promise in
agility and obedience. Daisy is currently participating in DogHaven's
Saturday Obedience Group class and occasionally makes a debut during our
agility classes. We have high expectations for this girl!
Jan is also very active in Doberman rescue. She plays
a crucial role in the initial process of getting th
em
out of the shelters and arranging transport to local rescues. In the
process of helping these Dobes, Jan adopted two older dogs that would
have had no chance for adoption. Flint came to Jan terribly under weight
and with such bad teeth that almost all of them had to be extracted. He
is at least 10 years old and now has a wonderful home with the Fricks.
Jan also gave an older girl, Raven, a home. After taking
Raven to the vet for her initial checkup, Jan found that in addition to
being underweight, she had many serious health problems, so Jan gave her
a home that she would not have otherwise found.. Raven was abandoned on
a local farm. She had been running free, trying to stay alive for quite
a long time until she was picked up by some caring people who then
called Dobe rescue. Jan took her in and is now providing for all her
needs.
Currently Jan is fostering another young Dobe who was
left abandoned in an apartment. Even though she has had a very rough
beginning, she is now starting to feel like she has someone who cares
about her. Lola is around one year old and is as sweet as you could ask
for. She will be available for adoption once she has recovered.
