Lori Duncan

I have been competing in dog performance events for more than 16 years.  I have been an instructor in obedience and dog agility for over 15 years.  My training methods include positive reinforcement (using motivators such as toys, food, praise) and clicker training.   I have attended numerous obedience and agility seminars from top instructors throughout the country (e.g., Stuart and Pati Mah, Julie Daniels, Bud Houston, Jen Crank, Jen Pinder, Susan Garrett, Wendy Pape, Nancy Gyes, Stacy Goudy).  I have received instruction in behavior modification using the Control Unleashed program from Leslie McDevitt (author) and Meagan Skelton.  I  offer private and group classes using the Control Unleashed program  for behavior modification and control issues as they relate to performance events.

My first agility dog was an Australian Shepherd, Kiwi.  She was the first dog in the Charleston area to earn an agility title.  I am currently owned by 4 dogs:  Cutter, a 14-year-old Boykin Spaniel; Matilda, an 11-year-old Aussie; Opal, a 6-year-old Aussie, and Duster, a 7-month old Aussie. Cutter earned one obedience award (CGC) and the following agility titles (AAD, OGC, OJC, EAC, GS-O, JS-O, RE-E).  Cutter was the first Boykin Spaniel in the country to earn an agility title.  Matilda has earned several obedience and rally awards and titles (CGC, CDX, RE), the following agility titles which include Agility Dog Champion (MX, MXJ, OF, NFP, ADCH, TM-Bronze, SACH, JCH, SCH-Silver, RCH-Silver, PDIII, PIIIJ, PIIIG, ATD), and two flyball titles (FD, FDX).  Opal has earned one obedience award (CGC), one rally obedience title (RN) and the following agility titles (AAD, AS, AJ, ASA).  Duster has earned his CGC and is a great pup in training.
