Spot On K9 Sports

Spot On K9 Sports is where smart dogs bring their people to learn and have fun!Choose from agility, obedience, tricks, nose work, puppy kindergarten, private lessons and in-home manners. Trainer Julia Lane is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, and a Certified Trick Dog Instructor. She’s also a Contributing Editor and blogger for The Bark magazine and writes frequently for Clean Run, a magazine for agility enthusiasts. Spot On K9 Sports is a positive reinforcement training facility.

Julia learns something new about dogs every day thanks to her students’ amazing dogs and her own variety pack. Her rescue Dalmatians, ADCH Darby Lynn MX MXJ ETD (10 yrs.) and MAD JCh Jolie AX AXJ (8 yrs.), compete in agility and are the inspiration for Spot On K9 Sports. Her Dutch Shepherd, Ginger Peach (5 yrs.), competes in disc dog. Magnum, the Border Colliepuppy, is busy learning basic obedience, foundation agility skills, nose work and Rally.The past couple years have been tough, having to say goodbye to two original pack members due to cancer. Her super sweet Pit Bull/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix Shelby – who passed away at age 10 in Dec. 2011 – enjoyed the mental challenge of nose work. She passed her Odor Recognition Tests for Birch and Anise on her first attempts! She also was a lure coursing addict and infamous skunk hunter! Her incredible Catahoula, Desoto – who passed away at age 13 in Oct. 2010 – was a certified Therapy Dog and dabbled in agility and herding. He helped many of her students’ dogs learn appropriate social manners. We miss them terribly.

Of course, her 10-year-old cats, Cricket and Bruiser Bear, are members of the pack, too. Tiny 7-lb. Cricket thinks she’s in charge – and the dogs wouldn’t dare tell her otherwise!
