Training For You and Your Dog

(705) 324-2116 Kawartha Lakes, Ontario info@daytripperdogtraining.com

At Daytripper Dog Training we teach you how to train your dog. We feel that it’s important for you to develop the skills to teach your dog desired behaviours because, after all, it’s you that lives with your dog. The methods we use are all positive, but don’t confuse that with permissive. Dogs need guidelines and boundaries. Let us help you establish what works best for you and your dog whether it’s your new puppy, your family pet or your canine athlete.

Our Team

Lane White

Daytripper Dog training Lane has been competing in agility with his first agility dog, Tripper, since 1996. Tripper is a little mixed breed dog acquired on a day trip, hence the company name.

In 1995 Lane joined the staff at Who’s Walking Who Dog Training Centre, where he teaches courses from puppy classes for the wee ones, right up to competitive agility. Since that time he has worked with literally thousands of dogs and their owner/handlers. There is no substitute for experience.

From its inception in 2000 to its closure in 2006, Lane was a co-owner/operator of The Agility Farm, specializing in what else? Agility! The Agility Farm offered group classes, private and semi-private instruction, workshops, fun matches and AAC sanctioned trials.

Lane and Tripper have competed and are titled in Obedience (through the North American Mixed Breed Registry – NAMBR), Flyball and their true love, Agility. For many years Tripper was on the annual list of Top Dogs with the Agility Association of Canada (AAC) and holds multiple agility titles. In 2005 she won her division at the Ontario Regional Agility Championships and came second at the National Agility Championships in Saskatoon, all at the age of 11. Tripper has started competing in Rally Obedience at the ripe old age of 13 and she’s lovin’ it! Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?

In 1998 Lane adopted Travistee, a 12 week old Border Collie mix with huge ears. Along with their many agility titles a high point in their agility career was when they were named as alternates to the 2006 World Agility Team.

Lane’s third agility dog is Quill. She’s another Border Collie mix aptly named because, as a young puppy, she was found full of porcupine quills in a farmer’s field. Quill has some big shoes, or shall we say paws, to fill. She and Lane are working hard to catch up to Tripper and Travis.

Lane is a Masters Level Agility Judge with the Agility Association of Canada and has been judging since 2001. He has attended numerous workshops and seminars offered by some of the best trainer/instructors in North America, and he continues to do so to keep his skills current. Lane holds certificates in pet first aid, along with others in training and behaviour.

Lane has trained and wrangled his own and others’ dogs for commercial work for companies/products such as Puritan Beef Stew, Birch Telecom, Sprint Canada, Bell Canada, HBO and The Personal Insurance. In addition, Lane has appeared on Canada AM, ROB Television and OLN and he has written for Dogs Dogs Dogs newspaper.

Teddy Green

Daytripper Dog Training It was the early eighties when Teddy’s family acquired a tri-coloured Australian Shepherd named Buttons and Teddy began her foray into dog training. Methods have changed over the years and in 1997 Teddy began her career as a professional dog trainer teaching for Who’s Walking Who Dog Training Centre and since then has worked with literally thousands of clients and their dogs; and a vast array of different breeds. There is no substitute for experience. She has taught puppy pre-school for the wee ones right up to competitive agility. Teddy is particularly skilled at dealing with shy and under confident dogs.

In the summer of 2000 The Agility Farm was opened for business with Teddy as one of the co-owner/operators. Teddy was one of the instructors at the Farm, which offered agility classes, workshops and private lessons at all levels, until its closure at the end of 2006.

Teddy has three dogs; Drake the Sheltie, Newt the terrier mix and Pan the Rat Terrier. Although not intentional all three are rescues. Drake has his Masters Agility Dog of Canada title and has retired from competitive agility. Newt and Pan are continuing to earn titles in Agility and both compete in Rally Obedience.

Teddy holds certificates in Canine Behaviour, Training and Pet First Aid. She has attended multiple workshops, seminars and conferences on dog training and behaviour, continuing to do so to keep her skills current.
