Yippie! In the beginning of 2008 we escaped our hectic Horsham, Pennsylvania lives to live in the wilds of the Endless Mountains Region. We packed up everything we owned, loaded our dogs into the car and moved to Bradford County, Pennsylvania, where Dogs Gone Wild, LLC was born. Our goal is to help other dog-lovers get the same enjoyment out of their canine relationships as we do.

Rob Thompson has been enjoying awesome relationships with his nine year old Australian Shepherd,
Shelby has taught Rob so much about how wonderful and exciting a canine relationship can be. Shelby's spirit is so full of life and energy even til this day. Shelby can be extremely sweet and gentle when she needs to be, but get her on an agility course and she does her name justice! She is a true agility athlete. Running with her in agility has to be one of the most thrilling experiences of Rob's life, not to mention hers. Shelby will always hold a special place in Rob's heart.
Ciara is a sweet fun-loving golden retriever. She is very young and really enjoys playing with toys. Her favorite toys include tennis balls and frisbees.

Sue's Dog Training Resume
Sue enjoys spending time with her boys, seven year old Australian Shepherd, Marshall and two year old Pomeranian, Hemi.
Marshall is a very honest hard working dog and he loves Sue to death. His striking features and commanding presence in the ring always attracts attention from spectators. When Marshall's not making his presence known on the agility course, he's playing a wicked game of catch the frisbee. Marshall is everything Sue ever hoped for in a dog, a true companion.
Hemi was adopted from Twin Tiers Rescue. When he first came into our home, he was shy, fearful and unsociable. During the first year of being with us, Hemi really came out of his shell. He may be a small dog, but he's got one big personality. He does his name justice. Hemi bonded with Sue instantly and misses her terribly whenever she's away from him.
Prior to forming Dogs Gone Wild, LLC, Sue was a member of Kruisin' Kanines since 1997. She has held several positions within the Kruisin' Kanines organization including club secretary, trial secretary, and agility instructor.
Sue has spent many years competing in canine sports events. For example, Sue has competed in agility since 1997 and is currently competing at the highest levels of the sport.
During the day, Sue is a secretary/bookkeeper at Towanda Country Club. She has been employed with Towanda Country Club for approximately six months. Much of her position requires human relations, administration, accounting, record management, and bookkeeping.
