About the Instructor
Judy Peterson has had a passion for animals since her childhood. She had cats until she was in a position where she could have a dog. Since day 1 of having a dog, she fell in love with training. Her first dog was a Wire-coat Dachshund. They competed in agility, competition obedience and rally obedience. She got a rescue Cardigan Welsh Corgi a couple of years later who was very fearful. She learned how to work her through her fears and competed with her on agility and rally obedience. She was taking classes with both dogs at Jump Start Dog Sports in Yorba Linda and soon after the owner of JSDS asked her if she would interested in teaching. That was in 1999 and she has been passionate about teaching since then. She has taught Basic Home Manners, Intro to Performance Sports, Rally Obedience, Canine Good Citizen Prep and Testing (a CGC/Tricks Evaluator since 2000), AKC Scentwork, and Tricks.

Judy currently has 4 dogs - 3 are actively competing in Nosework, Scent work, Barnhunt, NASDA, and Rally. Her 4th dogs is almost 14 and has retired from dog sports.
