Dianne Sharp-Roberg-I train my dogs using the clicker training method which is a
very positive and motivational way to train animals. I work towards behaviors for performing stunts, tricks and frisbee. Prior to my interest in training and performing with my dogs, I trained as a dancer since three years old and after highschool starting teaching creative dance to children. I own
and operate “Dance by Dee” Creative Dance Studio in West Jordan, Utah since 1988. I have found that teaching children to dance is
very similar to training and working with the dogs to perform dance and
Frisbee routines. I developed the “Dazzle Dogzz” in 1999 starting with my
first border collie “Kachina”. Maya, Arrow and Apache joined and we
have been entertaining anywhere from small groups to very large venues.
