Leslie Marshall

Leslie’s first experience with formal obedience training was in 1986, with a Wire-haired Fox Terrier, earning a Can/Am CD. Wanting a small, non-shedding dog that was a little more willing to please, she obtained her first Miniature Schnauzer in 1987. 

It was in 1987 that Leslie met Deb at a show. Deb was campaigning ‘Lady', and invited Leslie to train with her. Soon afterwards, Campaign Dog Obedience was started, and Leslie helped design and assist classes.

Leslie specializes in Campaign’s foundation training for Open and Utility, primarily through the use of behavior shaping. She also teaches competitive puppy classes, as well as private lessons. Over the years, Leslie has also trained a Doberman to a CD, and a Golden Retriever to an AM UD. She also finds time to groom not only her own dogs, but many others for other clients as well.

Leslie breeds Miniature Schnauzers, under the Marwyn prefix. She shows her dogs in conformation, obedience and agility, and has earned many HIT’s and breed/group rankings along the way. Many of the dogs she has bred have excelled in dog sports, both in Canada and the US. Incidentally, Leslie works full time as a Registered Veterinary Technician.

Leslie keeps abreast of the newest trends and changes in obedience training and canine behavior by regularly attending seminars and lectures put on by some of the top trainers and behaviorists in the world. 

In January, 2008, Leslie finished the lengthy requirements for her obedience judges’ license, and is approved to judge Novice, Open and Utility.

I purchased my first dog, a happy tri sheltie named Laddie, in March.1988. I did this, after having two major back surgeries and realizing that I would not be able to return to work.

Laddie opened up a whole new life for me. I went on to trial him to his utility title in Canada, Bermuda and the States. I also campaigned him in 1991 to the #10 obedience dog in Canada. Unfortunately, I lost Laddie to cancer in October 2002. The same year, I lost my second sheltie Dexter also to cancer.

I presently own two shelties, a 13  year old blue merle, and a 5 year old  bi-black. My blue boy has obedience titles in Canada, Bermuda and the States, as well as his conformation championship. My biggest thrill was in October 2006 when my bi-black earned his Grand master obedience trial championship and also placed #2 All breed for 2006.

I met Debbie Desjardine in 1989. We became good friends and traveling companions. Our obedience trials took us to Canada, the States and Bermuda and I have been teaching at Campaign since that time.

I received my judging license in May 1997, and I had the honor of receiving the 2001 Pedigree Pal Obedience judge of the year.

Any free time I have, I enjoy reading, gardening and traveling with my husband.

I acquired my first obedience dog in the form of a rambunctious female Wheaten puppy, Molly, in spring of 1995.  I set about finding the best school for both of us to learn about training and showing in obedience and in the fall of 1995 we found Campaign.  I loved the camaraderie of both the students and instructors.  Everyone seemed to be having a good time (both students and teachers).  The instructors were very knowledgeable and skilled at passing on their knowledge to us newbie’s.  Molly and I proceeded to have the time of our life and in 1997 we got our first CD title.  Shortly after, I was invited to start assisting classes at Campaign and eventually teaching as well.

Molly and I earned our Canadian and American C.D. and our Canadian C.D.X. We were in the top 5 Wheatens in Canada in 1998, 1999 and were #10 Terrier and #2 Wheaton in 1998. In 2001, Molly was diagnosed with Protein- Losing disease (an all too common disease in Wheatens) so we stopped Obedience (as she was finding it too stressful) and tried our hand at Agility.  In the fall at the Royal Winter Fair she got her first and only agility title and we both had a blast doing it.  Sadly in March of 2002, I had to say good bye to a dog that gave me such joy, brought so many of my dreams to life and introduced me to this wonderful world of dog sports.

Emma, my second Wheaten Terrier, joined our family in the summer of 2001 as a happy-go-lucky 10 month old.  Of course we plunged right into training with both feet and came up swimming.  She earned her Canadian and American CD in 2003, her Canadian CDX and UKC CD in 2004, passed her CGN test with flying colours in 2005, and also got her UCDX and her Rally Novice title (CARO) in 2005, finally she got her Advanced Rally title (CARO) in 2006.  We trained hard in Utility but true to her terrier nature, although she has a great time, her agenda and mine don’t seem to mesh at trials and the elusive title continues to evade us. At the end of 2007, I decided to retire her and she is now living with my daughter and her two little dogs and loves being a couch potato and queen of the castle.

In 2002, I discovered the Schapendoes and immediately fell in love with the breed – a disheveled, always joyful breed with the herding desire for working and learning.  Taya arrived in November of 2002 and we have never looked back.  In 2003 she became the first Schapendoes to get her Rare Breed of South Western Ontario Championship which included a “best puppy in show”.  In 2004, she got her Rally Novice (CARO), UCD & CKC CD.  In 2005, she got her Rally Advanced (CARO) and passed her CGN.  In 2006, she got her NAMBR CD, CKC CDX, and UCDX.  In 2007, she got her NAMBR CDX with 2 High In Trials and also her CKC Agility Novice Jumper and her Agility Dog of Canada (AAC).  She was the #1 Schapendoes in obedience in Canada both in 2006 and 2007.  Taya has also given me my first experiences in raising puppies, she had her first litter in 2005 and second in 2007 – another of my dreams realized and exceeding my expectations (I just love having puppies). 

Our newest member of the family is another Schapendoes, Rowena (Ro to her friends), who came to us in 2006.  When I met her mom for the first time, I knew I wanted one of her puppies and Ro is a delight - mischievous, joyful, smart and a delight to train.  She got her UKC championship in 2007 including a “Reserve Best In Show” at only 14 months.  She is well on her way to competing in obedience, rally and agility – I can hardly wait.

Teaching classes at Campaign has given me a better understanding of my own dogs; and the variety of puppies, dogs and people challenge me to become a better trainer and person. Attending seminars each year enriches my knowledge of dog behaviour and helps keep me abreast of new and different training techniques.

Campaign and all the people involved, have allowed me to achieve a life long dream and I am enjoying every minute of it.

I met my first Bull Terrier at 16 and it was love at first sight!  After University, marriage and beginning my career as a teacher, my second Bull Terrier, Torque, came into my life.  I began taking puppy classes with her at Campaign.  It was during this time that I began to learn more about the behaviour side of dog training as Torque challenged me around every corner!  I began reading books about dog behaviour and participating in numerous seminars put on by renowned canine behaviouralists.

In 1995, I began assisting puppy classes at Campaign.  I then became an instructor, incorporating my behaviour knowledge into the puppy and advanced puppy classes.

In 2000, I resigned my human teaching position and started my own business, Connecting with Canines.  I offer private in-home consultations for people with puppies or adult dogs, with an emphasis on household behaviour issues and basic obedience.

I continue to teach puppy classes at Campaign and to assist people with household behaviour issues.  I also continue to read and attend seminars to keep up-to-date on the latest behaviour and training methods.

I am currently training my puppy Zoe in Agility and Obedience.

I have been affiliated with Campaign since 1996. The school has been such a great place to train and learn, that I feel very lucky to be part of the staff and be in a position to pass on skills that I have found valuable in training my own dogs.

I purchased my first obedience dog, "Drava" -- a female Rottweiler, in 1991. She was a friendly, outgoing girl who went on to earn a BH, American TD and TDX, Canadian TD, as well as both Canadian and American CDX titles. I had to retire Drava at the age of 3 due to health issues.

My second obedience dog, "Iko", arrived in 1993. He was a great companion and went on to become my shining star in the obedience ring. Canadian/American OTCH, U-UD Roborott's Jeriko von Arras BH, TD, HIC, TT, CGC won a combined 123 HITs in CKC, AKC and UKC events. We attained multiple 200 scores and placed at the World Series and the HIT of HITs. Iko placed twice in "Dogs in Canada" Top 10 all-breed ranking and remains as the most titled Rottweiler in the CKC points system.

Roborott's Tranquil Titan, Canadian/American CDX, BH, TT, CGC was purchased in 1998 from the same breeder as both Drava and Iko. He was a strong-willed, outgoing boy and I unfortunately had to retire him early
due to health issues.

I took a break from obedience and competition, and upon my return in 2005 I surprised many of my competitive friends by stepping into the ring with a sporting breed. My present competition dog is a female Weimaraner, Echobar's Double Impact CDX, N-CDX, U-CD. "Asia" is a very special girl who has done very well with limited showing. To her credit she has earned 16 HITs in her first year of competing and continues to improve as we work toward our future goals. Asia is also overseeing the training of her younger canine brother, Ambertrail's Triple Play
("Trip"), a male Golden Retriever and my newest prospect.

I look forward to teaching, competing and meeting new people in the dog sport realm.

I grew up with various horses, dogs, rabbits & birds sharing my life. After marriage in 1975 I trained and competed in Barrel racing but too many knee to barrel collision (this was before knee pads & helmets were allowed) forced my retirement. At this same time my husband and I raised and bred Chow Chows for 18 years on a limited basis and produced some very stable outgoing puppies at a time when the Chow was getting a bad rap.

In 1996 we acquired our first Sheltie & first Obedience dog and in early 1997  I began taking classes at Campaign Dog Academy at the old location in Brampton. In 1998 I was asked to assist classes and have been doing so ever since.  After years of nagging (you know who you are) I recently started teaching some classes as well. Assisting and teaching classes has definitely taught me a lot. I take great pride in watching the new puppies and their handlers go from being unruly energetic balls of fluff & awkward handlers to well mannered youngsters and confident handlers.

My husband and I own and operate a small but very personal boarding kennel on 10 acres in Hillsburgh. Our Boarding kennel is called Dawg Dayz Inn. We at present share our lives with 10 Shelties and 2 Pomeranians. 6 of these are adopted dogs. I actively train and compete in Obedience, Agility to the National level as well as I dabble in Rally-O. I have trialed 4 of our shelties to their Obedience Trial Champion Title with Numerous 1^st & 2^nd placings as well as 2 High in Trials. One Sheltie to her Master Obedience Trial Champion Title who was also #2 Sheltie, #3 Herding & #6 All breed dog in 2003. One Sheltie to her Companion Dog Excellence Title. One Sheltie to his Companion Dog Title. Two of these same Shelties I have also trialed to their Agility Trial Champion Titles with one having achieved her Bronze award of Merit and only has 3 Q’s left to achieve her Silver Award of Merit.

Presently I am training 3 Shelties in Agility and one in Obedience. Two Pomeranians in Agility and one in Obedience. I am a member in good standing with the CKC, CSSA, and AAC. We are also a foster home for the Southern Ontario Sheltie Rescue.

I hope to be able to continue being involved in classes at Campaign for many more years to come knowing in some small way I may have helped to guide our canine friends to be good canine citizens in and out of the home and just for the sheer enjoyment of doing so.

I have had Shetland Sheepdogs for 21 years. I started training my first sheltie Dusty, in British Columbia with the West Kootenay Kennel Club. After that, I was hooked on dog training. When we moved to Ontario in 1993 one of things that made the move easier, was knowing I would have a chance to train at Campaign. I have not been disappointed.

I have put an OTCH on my first 3 shelties. They also have titles in rally and agility as well as their Canine Good Neighbour. My second sheltie “Kizzy” had obedience titles in Canada, the States and Bermuda.

I have also done numerous courses on dog behaviour and enjoy problem solving using positive training methods.

My first American Eskimo came to me in 1985 when my son moved back home.  It was evident that AJ was going to be my dog from the moment.   Shortly after AJ passed over the Bridge, I purchased Keluk in 1997.   He was a high energy pup and I knew how important it was that puppies be socialized, so after making a few calls and watching a puppy class at Campaign I knew this was where we would take our classes.  I soon became addicted to obedience.  At the age of 5 Keluk earned the title of the first American Eskimo with an OTCh title. 

I started assisting classes shortly after Keluk obtained his CD. I have enjoyed working with people new to the sport, or even those looking for a well mannered dog, that will walk well on a lead.

I’ve earned several titles on my dogs:

OTCh. CherryValley Keluk Amarok CGN, Am. CDX     Keluk still holds the title for the first and only American Eskimo dog with an O.T. Ch.

CKC, AKC, Rare Breed Champion, U-CD Grand Champion Fissan’s Nakoora Amarok CD, HIC

Finished CKC  #1 American Eskimo in 2006,  Rare Breed All Breed #1 Dog in 2002 & 2003, #2 in 2004.  Koors earned a CKC Group 1^st his first weekend being shown, and many group placements to his record.   Koors placed #6 in the top 10 American Eskimos in UKC 2003

CKC. CKC. Rare Breed Champion, U-CD Grand Champion Thundrpas Chawne of Nuuktok CDX, HIC

Chawne earned a Group 1, in her 2^nd weekend out after CKC recognition, and finished #2 in the top 5 CKC American Eskimo Dogs.

CKC, AKC, UKC Grand Champion Nuuktok’s Now and Forever HIC.  Promise finished #3 in 2006, completing her CKC Championship with a group placement.   In UKC at 6 months old, she earned 3 group placements and a Reserve Best in Show.

CKC, UKC  Champion Nuuktok’s Sugrak Akiak Tonrar will finish the #1 American Eskimo for 2007.

I’m very proud of what my dogs have achieved, and believe that a dog should be well rounded in obedience and conformation. 

I am now working with a new puppy “Nuuktok’s Atka Inukshuk” and believe he will be my new O.T. Ch dog. 

I enjoy coming out to assist classes at any level especially in Open and Utility where I have had lots of experience with various issues!! It has always given me great pride to see what owners and dogs have achieved in classes. It is wonderful see the young puppies grow and develop and become better canine citizens.

Life for me has always been about dogs.  My parents never let me have one as a young child yet it didn't deter my love for canines one little bit!  I spent all of my free time in the company of neighbors' and family friends' dogs just watching and interacting with them. I've always felt as though I could communicate with dogs on their level. As much as I loved the endless parade of family cats, rodents, fish, even birds; they just weren't DOGS.

After completing the animal health and technology course at Sheridan college and securing my first job in my chosen career (pet groomer), I was finally allowed to get a dog of my very own! In 1990 I got my first Australian shepherd and after I got fed up with the inappropriate puppy behaviours I enrolled him in puppy classes.  We
won the coveted best puppy and best handler awards, which fueled my fire for obedience training. I also acquired a Jack Russell Terrier who taught me some very important lessons in patience and acceptance.

In 1995 I moved  to Calgary Alberta  and it is there that I found my  true soul mate, REESE. He was everything I could ask for in an aussie- he excelled in everything he did from obedience, agility, herding, therapy dog, performing in an animal actors group, to just being my very best friend.

My next aussie came along in 2000 and I had very high hopes for his future in conformation, obedience, herding, agility and what ever else we decided to tackle, so.. the hunt for the school that could help to to achieve this began.  I started attending classes at Campaign Dog Academy and after  one set of classes, I knew that this was everything I was looking for.  I started assisting classes in 2001 then went on to teaching classes from puppy through competitive levels, and am still a fixture to this day.  Throughout the years, I have attended many
seminars and workshops from some of the top trainers, behaviourists, and specialists in the canine industry and in the process have developed a passion for helping people understand and deal with their dog's issues in a practical, easy to understand manner, either at Campaign or in private, in-home consultations.

I  currently share my home with my 2 aussies, (currently retired from competition) 2 young children and husband, in Georgetown Ont, and  I own a thriving grooming salon in Stouffville Ontario. I eagerly await my next "puppy star"
which I am hoping for later this year(2008).

I grew up with dogs of various breeds and always had a dog until our first born child came into the world with asthma and allergies. A pet free environment followed for several years.   After a second child and many ‘dogless’ years I was introduced to the Portuguese Water Dog  - a non-shedding, hypoallergenic breed that many allergy sufferers could tolerate. 

Soon there after Sadee joined the Bérubé family and my interest in ‘all things canine’ grew significantly. I now breed PWD’s under the registered kennel name C’harbr (pronounced Sea Harbour) and competes in conformation, obedience, water work, Rally-O and dabble in agility with my four Pwd’s.  I also find spare time to  groom as well. 

I have earned several titles including a Silver Award of Merit from the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America (in recognition of overall achievement) as well as #1 placement for the PWD breed in obedience in Canada in 2006.  My family, human and dog, have all attended training classes at Campaign.  All of our PWD’s are titled in various areas and my interest in sharing with others has led me to assisting and then instructing my own classes at Campaign since 2002.

We always had a dog in the house when I was growing so when I bought my first house, I got my first Miniature Schnauzer. At that time I was unaware of the world of Obedience.

I started training at Campaign in Brampton. At that time I was having problems with my first Obedience dog, Madison, in the Open class. I eventually got an OTCH with her after many trials and tribulations, and lots of help and encouragement from the instructors at Campaign. On the way to the OTCH, we took a break from Obedience to do Agility which Madison much preferred to Obedience. She has obtained her Excellent standard and Intermediate Jumpers with Weaves titles in CKC Agility as well as her Master Jumpers title in AAC Agility. She is currently working on other Masters titles. She also has an Intermediate Rally title.

After experiencing the wonderful classes at Campaign, I started my next two dogs at Campaign as soon as they were old enough for puppy class. Sage now needs one more leg to finish her OTCH. She has CKC Intermediate Agility titles and is working at several levels of AAC. She also has an Intermediate Rally title.

My youngest dog, Silken, just completed her CDX and will be moving on to Utility.

One of the highlights of my association with Campaign has been assisting with some of the puppy classes. They are always fun and I learn something from each instructor that I assist.

Heidi grew up with dogs and they have always been a part of her life.  Her first dog was a male Corgi named Toby, who taught her that perseverance and patience does pay off.  Since then she has titled multiple breeds in a wide range of disciplines. 

Her current dog, Niki, (CH, U-CH, ATChC, OTCh Vastgota Tommy TT, CGN, AGX, U-AG1, U-CD, CD (AKC), HT, JHD, U-CD, RA (AKC), RVMCL, MSCDC) is a Swedish Vallhund who has over 30 titles.  Together they have won both Best in Show and High in Trial awards.  They have earned multiple 200 scores in Rally-O.  In agility she has also been very successful with Niki and has participated in 4 AAC National Championships and 6 AAC Ontario Regional Championships, winning the 10” Specials class in 2006.

 Heidi has attended seminars and clinics in a variety of dog sports and trained with experienced trainers from across Canada.  She has assisted with an assortment of classes and instructed Rally O classes.  She also presented a Rally O seminar in Bermuda.

Along with my mom, I have developed a passion for dogs and especially for the PWD breed.  Although my heart truly lies in the conformation ring (showing all breeds) having achieved several titles including multiple Best in Show, Best Puppy in Show, Championship and Junior competition titles,  I also excel in obedience.

I was the first Junior handler in Canada to earn a water certificate with my first dog Sadee.  I was thrilled to take first place in the Novice obedience class at the Portuguese Water dog of America National Specialty in 2005.  In that same year (at the tender age of 14)  Nemeau and I pointed to fourth place overall in Canada for PWD's. in the Conformation show ring competing against top professional handlers.

I have worked and assisted some of the top professional dog handlers for conformation. I have attended puppy through to Open Refresher classes at Campaign and have worked with some great trainers here. I have trialed in Novice and Open obedience.  I am now an assistant / instructor at Campaign.  

" Campaign Dog Academy has played a significant role in my development" and I feel like I am part of an extended family!

In November 2003 I got my very first dog…a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever I named Molly.  Knowing very little about raising a puppy, “Puppies for Dummies” became my bible. I had committed to the breeder that I would take a basic puppy obedience class with Molly.  Soon after her arrival, I started the search for a dog school reasonably close to my home.  I found Campaign Dog Academy and started Junior Puppy Level 1 in January 2004.  I had no intention of doing competitive obedience but with that basic obedience class, I just kept going!!!!  I had been bitten by the obedience bug!!!! 

 Molly obtained her Companion Dog title and one leg towards her Companion Dog Excellent title.  We also took agility classes at Campaign that were both fun and rewarding for us and resulted in many qualifying titles.

My new Duck Toller puppy, Chloe, is a student at Campaign.  I will be training her for competitive obedience and agility, as well as showing her in conformation to get a Championship title.  Also I am considering a hunting retriever title in our spare time!!!!

In 2006, I was asked to assist with Campaign’s puppy classes.  I thoroughly enjoy watching and helping new puppy owners and their dogs as they progress through the program.  It is especially rewarding to see the difference in the puppies and their owners from the first class to the last class.  I look forward to continuing my involvement in Campaign’s puppy classes, as both a student with Chloe and as an assistant instructor.

While growing up we always had dogs, some purebred, some mixed. They all had special personalities and they taught us a lot about having fun and empathy. We muddled through the training like most people and we kids shared our adventures with our dogs.

After high school, I trained and showed horses, and learned the fundamental importance of timing cues and rewards, something that has helped me immensely with training dogs.

Then began my university years – no dogs, alas, until I graduated and had the privilege of working for a professor on a study of blue grouse on Vancouver Island. We used English Pointers to find the birds for banding and I gained a huge appreciation not just for their scenting expertise and intelligence, but also for the great range of individual personality, work ethic and ease of training. I knew then that some day dog training would need to be revisited but it would have to wait until I found more time when my children were older.

My first crack at obedience came with a lovely flat-coated retriever, Zoey, whom I never trialed because of shoulder problems which developed by the time she was three. I was not satisfied with the amount of correction involved in the training classes I was attending at the time; I wanted to learn more motivational methods which produce a dog that works with joy and enthusiasm. Some years later, when I was looking for a puppy, I met Deb Desjardins at a dog show, where she recommended a breeder. We acquired our Papillon, Austin, a few months later and started him in puppy classes at Campaign in 2005. With the help of Anne, Isobel, Deb, Karen and many other staff and students, he earned his CD and CDX in 2007, has started Utility and Agility, and knows numerous tricks. His enthusiasm, speed and goofy antics keep us all laughing. I attribute his confidence and happy attitude to the positive methods used at Campaign.

I’m among the newest assistants at Campaign and I hope to help new puppy owners discover a joyful and efficient way to train, using positive reinforcement and play, while I expand and refine my own understanding and skills.
