I like to think, "dogs are not my whole life but they make my life whole”. My interest in training began when a friend invited me to a dog training class and I was "hooked". I have trained a variety of my own dogs including a Basset, Pointer, German Shorthair, Poodle, German Shepherd, Belgian Sheepdog, and currently Irish Water Spaniels.
Having trained a variety of breeds has given me a better understanding of training dogs and it is not "one size fits all”. I have titled dogs in all Obedience & Rally levels including the first OTCH in Western NY owned and trained by my husband and myself.
I now judge all AKC Obedience and Rally classes. I am also a breeder and have shown my dogs in Conformation for many years. My love is training, teaching and seeing my students succeed. I look forward to the opportunity to working with the students at Southtowns.
Lynn Reece Broderick is a member of The Pet Professional
Guild and is an AKC Canine Good Citizen
evaluator.Lynn began her career in
animal behavior in 1999 at the Erie County SPCA here in Buffalo NY, developing
and directing the innovative Animal Behavior & Training Department, but
left the SPCA May 2005 to start her professional pet training business, Pet
Works.
Lynn discovered dog agility in 2000 and has put countless
titles on her dogs and friend's dogs. She started teaching agility in 2005, and
loves sharing new techniques and handling strategies with her students. She and
her dog Amber have competed in four CPE National and two NADAC Championship
competitions, as well as the 2011 Purina Incredible Dog Challenge Large Dog
Agility event. Lynn is actively involved in the Four Seasons Agility Club and
Up and Over Dog Sports.
Lynn enjoys working with and teaching the owners as much as
she enjoys the company and training of the animals! She believes that training
and living with dogs should be fun and rewarding, and when she creates a
training program, she always tries to make sure everyone, human and canine, is
enjoying the experience. Her philosophy on training is to understand why dogs
do what they do, and to use scientifically proven positive reinforcement
techniques to teach new skills while also teaching the owner how to communicate
confidently, consistently, and happily with their dog.
