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. Spot On K9 Sports is a positive reinforcement training facility.

Trainer Julia Lane at home with her dogs (L to R):
Darby; our late Shelby, age 9 years; Ginger Peach; Jolie & our late Desoto, age 13 years.

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 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 Collie puppy, is busy learning basic obedience, foundation agility skills, and making new friends.

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 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 all 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!
