Welcome to a WHOLE NEW WORLD of dog training with...Janice DeMello... who has been training and showing dogs since 1973.  Her accomplishments with her own dogs is nothing short of phenomenal!  She has accomplished such amazing achievements with two Irish Setters gaining their Obedience Trial Championship each with a perfect score of 200 in Utility!  In addition, four of her Border Collies also achieved their Obedience Trial Championship titles combining for a total of 19 perfect scores of '200'!  Her achievements in herding have gained her 7 Herding Trial Champions and her latest endeavors in agility have reached the same high levels.  Janice's ability to read dogs and get inside their heads is uncanny... one could go so far as to say that she is a 'dog whisperer' and communicates with them at their level.

While many individual trainers can achieve success on their own personal dogs, it takes a gifted individual who can pass those same winning qualities onto their students.  Janice is a master at both.  The success rate of her students is far too numerous to mention as individual statistics...and if the truth be known, she just doesn't remember them all!  What she does recount is that her students have achieved a total of 21 perfect scores of '200', an unaccountable number of High In Trial and High Combined awards as well as winning placements at all levels in World Series, Gaines Regional & Classic Obedience tournaments, Herding Champions, Obedience champions and Agility successes!  

From 1985 thru 2005, Ms. DeMello had captured the delight of audiences around the country and internationally with her "open, honest, innovative yet often humorous teaching style" as one attendee describes it. 

With the advent of her involvement in the herding sport, she has amassed an incredible winning record in a short amount of time.  This has brought a new dimension to her teachings in competitive obedience as well as in agility.      

Janice conducts private lessons in competitive agility, obedience  & herding.  She has returned to sharing her winning training method by offering a new style in seminars that combine cross training in obedience, agility, herding and other K9 events.
