"I first met Linda for a private lesson to make Tater behave on leash. Tater responded well to Linda—and more importantly, responded well to me after using techniques Linda taught. I was so impressed we took several obedience and rally classes taught by Linda. In class, Linda demonstrated the training technique, then all participants took their turn with their dog. Linda’s classes were small enough to get personal attention with any issues. Handouts were provided to help us practice at home.
Linda encouraged us to enter competition. We’ve competed and have earned our Rally Novice, Advanced, Excellent, and Obedience Novice and Open Titles! My dog’s behavior-and my bond with her-has vastly improved since we began working with Linda!!" ~ Kathy Martin & her dog Tater RE CDX
JL'S Honey Be Good CD RE or "Honey" is a West Texas Canine College Service Dog trained start to finish by Linda, shown in Obedience Trials by Linda, and later purchased by the Rhodes family as a Mobility and Retrieving Service Dog. Here is what they had to say:
"We highly recommend West Texas Canine College to anyone who wants to enjoy living with a well-trained, obedient dog, or anyone who needs a service dog, as I do. Our dog is so well trained and she has a wonderful attentive quality that anyone who sees her is envious of her skills. She is a great companion and her training is excellent. She is our pride and joy and we take her almost everywhere because she is so well behaved. Someone in our community who knew of her asked if she could be in his Superbowl Commercial!" -The Rhodes Family, San Diego, California
Pictured Above is Johnna and her West Texas Canine College Service Dog "Ty" at MD Anderson in Houston. Ty was rescued from the Odessa, TX Animal Shelter, was trained start to finsish by Linda Barnett, and is making an outstanding Service Dog! I want to say a special thank-you to Johnna, for she is the reason that I am training service dogs. You are a daily inspiration to me.
