Ultimate Canines

"Visitors to this year's Mystery Creek Fieldays were treated to a fine display of dog training from Chelsea Marriner and her team. Hundreds of dazzled onlookers watched as Chelsea's dogs were put through their paces, performing an array of tricks from fetching cold drinks from the chilly bin, washing their own paws and holding a flag."

About Ultimate Canines

I have been working with dogs since I was 2 1/2 years old, when I took over Dad's puppy that he brought home. This marked the beginning of a passion for training dogs and working with them.

When I was 4, I saw Wonder Dogs on TV and was instantly inspired to teach my dog some skills like that. I began competing in dog agility when I was 7 years old, and have never looked back!

I now have a great team who all have a large range of tricks. I compete in agility and and occasionally in sheep dog trials. I enjoy working my dogs and teaching them things to keep them busy and mentally tired.
You only get out what you put in, and if you want the results, there's a lot of hard work, patience and time required to get there in the end!

The dogs are all trained using positive reinforcement techniques and have a great love of showing off their skills and going through their paces.
