PictureJerome earns his MACH!
Karen Stiff-Carroll

Karen Stiff-Carroll has been involved with animals her entire life. In 1990, she acquired her first Rottweiler, Sasha. Soon followed Gretchen, then rescue, Zina. In the late 1990’s, Karen discovered agility. The sport was just getting popular and Karen’s girls attempted to participate but they all had multiple orthopedic issues which kept them from excelling. In 2005, Karen’s long awaited agility dog was born. Jerome, MACH PDCH Deerwood’s Just A Gigolo MXS MJS MXF PMTD T2B AXO OJP CD RE TSX NTS NUR NTPS, started training with Kim Seiter at 12 weeks of age. Fast forward to 2015. Jerome is recently retired. Earning multiple titles including his MACH and PDCH (Only the 3rdRottweiler to do so), attending 3 USDAA Cynosport Games and the 2014 AKC National Championships.          

Karen also trained and competed with Takoda, Esmond’s Takoda’s Good Medicine AXO AJP RN CD CGC CWS TS NHT HAS HTPT who is Rottweiler  from her first breeding,  Ciderhaus’ Apple of Our Eye (Cyder) MX MXJ AXP AJP NFP CD BN RN HTDT is Karen's current competition dog. Karen is very excited about her latest addition to the family "Phizz". He is just starting his agility and herding career. Karen believes a strong foundation and great relationship are the keys to success! She has trained with Kim for over 10 years and has been instructing under Kim’s guidelines for the past three years. She finds it rewarding to see her students advance from the beginner level to competing. Karen has a supportive yet engaging relationship with her students.

​Jenn Stollery

​Jenn Stollery got her first dog in her early 20s and fell in love with dog sports and training. She started with agility and has tried nearly every sport available to her and her rowdy cavaliers. She enjoys training people to better communicate with their dogs and strengthen the bonds between them. She is super positive and loves to laugh. If you are looking for low pressure, super silly, really upbeat training, take a class with Jenn. Make sure to bring loads of treats and a positive attitude.

Pat Koziol

Involved in agility for over 20 years, Pat has trained and competed in AKC, CPE, NADAC, UKI, and USDAA.  Pat’s dogs have acquired various achievements and titles including MX’s, MXJ’s, CATE’s, CATCH’s, NATCH’s, V-NATCH’s, and special milestones. Most recently her BC finished in the top 5 at the NADAC Agility Championships. Adding disc in training, her dog’s have competed at the International level with top placements in agility/disc events. Using positive training and high rewards of food, clicker, tug toys, and disc, Pat dog’s run fast, and can still work at a great distance. Teaching goals for all her students include learning proper cueing techniques, body positioning and verbal cues so that both handler and dog are a successful happy team.

Claire Cifarelli
Claire started training in 2000 with her Novice A Beardie Patch who ended his career with MACH3. She has competed and titled  in agility, obedience, rally, barn hunt, herding and fast cat. Her second rescue Beardie Roxie also went on to earn a MACH3. Then there was my gentle giant B-Buster who was just a Q’ing machine who earned MACH3 and a PACH. She now runs to Beardie boys in Masters and one pup in training. She fosters dogs and prepares them for a successful transition into their forever homes. All these dogs have taught me valuable lessons. The first of many is there is more then one way to teach, learn and perform a task. The other is to enjoy and love what your doing and the rest will come. These days my main focus is agility and although I run three dogs each one requires different handling skills.uires different handling skills.
