Owner - Lucinda Glenny, has over 25 years of experience breeding, training and competing with dogs. In the show world, dogs from as far away as California came to Lucinda to improve behaviors and earn their titles. Her reputation was established in working with difficult dogs that showed great show potential, but had behavioral issues that prevented them from competing.
Lucinda is a certified trainer who continues to attend numerous conferences and accredited seminars every year. She is a long standing member of the Canadian Association of Professional Pet Dog Trainers, a Team Leader and Evaluator for Therapeutic Paws of Canada and a certified Evaluator for the Canadian Kennel Club Canine Good Neighbor program.
Her experience includes:
• Earning over 75 American and Canadian titles in conformation, lure coursing and obedience
• Member of breed rescue associations
• Volunteering with the Humane Society and SPCA
Lucinda earns referrals from local veterinarians, groomers and breeders because of her success with helping owners develop happy, well adjusted dogs.
Daycare Manager - Ashley Kepka, has over 10 years of experience working with dogs, including showing dogs with her family and other handlers since she was a young girl. Ashley has also worked volunteering with veterinary clinics and breeders. She has experience with other types of animals through working with petting zoos and she is currently involved with
small animal and "pocket pet" adoption and rescue.
Ashley is certain
to give your dog all the attention and understanding that it needs to have a great time in daycare!
Instructor - Arlene Kotick, has joined us at Canine Campus as a very qualified instructor. Bringing close to 20 years of formal training to our school is a wonderful advantage.
Arlene has been an evaluator in the St. John’s Pet Therapy Program for over ten years and is an active member of Therapeutic Paws of Canada with two of her dogs. She is currently studying sign language at the Bob Rumble Centre for the Deaf, giving her the ability to communicate with Deaf Students that may come into class. The really exciting thing is that Arlene is also teaching her dogs sign language so that when she visits with them, they can understand the deaf patients!
Arlene loves to work with her own dogs and has successfully competed in many obedience trials and flyball competitions. Her beloved companions – Ginny Mae (pug), Bradi-Lou (pug) and a Chinese Crested named Bentley are stars of stage and screen appearing in many popular television commercials, movies and ads. She says it is great fun to work with dogs and their "people" and she has a wonderful sense of humor about the comical things dogs often do. Her logical and compassionate approach to training puts her clients at ease and helps them to achieve great results. Arlene is also now the proud owner of a English Bulldog named Saydee' Rose.
Instructor - Janis Mikelberg, for several years has been one of the Senior Trainers at another local facility and we are very pleased to have her bring her expertise to Canine Campus. Most recently, Janis took her certification test through the American Professional Pet Dog Training Association and is thrilled to become one of the few trainers in Canada to not only gain the certification - but to earn it with a 92% score!
I am very confident in Janis' ability to help your puppy learn proper social skills and to do it in a fun and positive style. She will be teaching a number of classes at various levels and definitely brings a great quality to our teaching curriculum.
Welcome Janis and I look forward to a great partnership!
