About Karen Betting

---

 Karen trained and trialed  mastiff's in conformation in the mid 80's through the mid 90's. Then life, work and family made it difficult to train and trial for a while.

Got back into training in 2014 with her current dog Dobby. They started out in obedience which earned Dobby his CD but they soon transitioned to scentwork.  They  trial in both CPE and AKC. Dobby has completed level 1 through level C in CPE and is now working on his 3rd Snithch. He just completed Master level in AKC. In addition to scentwork they also train and trial in Rodeo Dog and Speedway in which he has numerous titles. 

Karen's main philosophy in training is to always have fun while accomplishing a goal. To a dog everything is a game so if training becomes a game your dog will have fun, want to please you and have a high degree of success.  She uses positive reinforcement only.  That makes for a closer relationship to your  canine companion and leads to great results.
