Last updated Thu, Jul 27, 2023
The following accomplishments are proof that our common sense approach to training works in many venues! We are proud to have assisted the following trainers with their accomplishments through our Pawformance classes and lessons at Results Dog Training LLC.
Today dog sports - especially rally and agility - are truly enjoyed by most pets. Dog sports give pets an interesting life and a 'job'! Participating in a class is a positive way to build a bond, channel your pet's physical and mental creative energy and to provide constructive socializing.
Trainers find the experience of advanced training challenging and rewarding. And it is a nice stress release for pets and their people! In addition, training provides recreation, socializing with like minded people and exercise! If you are looking for a new hobby and may enjoy doing a 'light' dog sport with your well mannered pet - get off the couch and join us! My recreational Pawformance Sports offerings may be just what you are looking for! My Results training is required
Warning - training here can be habit forming, we have fun!
Due to the number of returning trainers - over decades - this page is undergoing a redo. Instead dividing by breeds or years dividing the listings as below, I am noting trainers in alphabetical order. Enjoy your read!

Guide to reading below:
Honorable mentions are listed as on occasion, a trainer may have a pet that because of health or other reasons had to discontinue training after much effort was spent. These dogs certainly would have titled if their misfortune had not occurred.
Participating trainer name(s) is noted, a handler may be listed if known, if other than trainer.
Honorifics are categorized by type of sport. Titles are then noted by the present and past year which are in bold and noted first, then by the decade. Due to web exposure, last name initial(s) only is used. Information is shared as known, RDT LLC is not responsible for errors. If an update or correction should be noted, please advise.

Assistance dogs and their handlers must display strict obedience and manners. Some teams noted have passed the test requirements for Therapy Dogs International, (TDI.) Leader Dogs for the Blind, hearing and service dogs provide eyes and ears for their people. The attention of visiting therapy pets and their handlers bring sunshine and joy to many. They may visit hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and shut ins. Our local libraries also have programs for children to read to the dogs, especially beneficial for struggling readers as the dogs never criticize a word misread!

Rally trainers and their pets love this 'relaxed' version of obedience. Participants are encouraged to use chat, praise and signals as they handle their pet through various stations performing exercises that are posted at each. Novice level is on leash. Advanced and Excellent levels offer off leash exercises that include low jumps. A leg is a qualifying score, three are needed under two different judges for these basic titles.
After the Excellent Title is earned, some choose go compete for a Rally Advanced-Excellent title. To earn this, the team must qualify 10 times in both the Advanced B and Excellent B classes at the same trial.
Pets and their trainers that have participated in Rally develop 'polish' that increases attention, command response and handling - not only for other dogs sports, but for off leash everyday situations. My first Rally-O classes were offered in January of 2001, titles became available through the AKC in 2005. We have had much fun with this!

Agility trainers and their pets enjoy completing courses with obstacles such as jumps, tunnels and weave poles. Speed is not as important when doing agility for recreation as we do at class. For those trainers that have entered trials, speed and performaing an obstacle correctly the first time is important. As you will see below, many have done quite well!

My sweet Havanese received the Havanese Club of America Award for Top Rally Obedience Score in the USA for 2007!! Tou' and I only showed in four trials within three months due to my schedule of the six month window allowed to score points. I was so proud, Tou' did great! Later I learned that there were two other very serious trainers showing for the six months racking points towards this award. One with an AKC Utility Dog (UD) and another with an AKC agility champion! Not bragging, just saying - I'm proud of my girl and love the Results of practical, common sense training!

Additonal agility events are sponsored by the following organizations:
Organizations may have their own secretary to provide premiums (show pamplets with entries) or may hire help to organize their shows. There is a lot of information and it may appear overwhelming at first. If you are training with us in advanced levels, we can help you get started. For many of our local events with Agility, Conformation, Obedience and/or Rally Trials, click on the state where you wish to attend an event:
Links will be added for these other registries that offer Agiity, Conformation and/or Obedience:
States Kennel Club - SKC
United States Dog Agility Association - USDAA
