Adina Black

Picture
-Meet Adina...

Adina entered the world of dog showing and started her career in the conformation dog show ring over a decade ago.  At one particular show,  she witnessed the obedience and rally  trials and thought: "Why not? That looks like a ton of fun and I love working with my dogs!"   It was then her journey into the world of obedience and rally commenced.  

​Adina enrolled in classes with 
Linda Laite-Pike and never looked back!  She has literally been training ever since.   Adina is committed to learning and has attended seminars with some of the top obedience trainers from all over.  She has also attended the Volhard Training Camp in Virginia.  She has taken a variety of classes over the years with various instructors with different methods.  Adina believes that there is no-one-cookie-cutter mould for dog training and that not all dogs are the same.  She believes that each dog is unique and may respond differently  to different methods.  She believes the more methodology you have in your tool box, the more tools you have to work with to assist the dog and handler become the team they dream of becoming

​Adina's breed of choice is the Boxer.  She shared with us that she loves boxers, because they are extremely versatile for dog sports.  She admires that they can focus long enough to work at the task at hand,  but can also chill out and snuggle in for a good snooze.  She said the breed suits her own personality and described herself as a 'goofball'.  Adina stated she knows when to be silly and let go and also when to get down to business, just like her boxers!
​
