About us

What started out as need to train the family dogs quickly turned into a full time passion for dog training and competition.

This early training eventuated to over 20 years of valuable knowledge & experience training working dogs and competing in Schutzhund and IPO Dogsport. Reg and Karyn have travelled throughout the world gaining expertise in selecting, training and competing with the working dog.

Both have had the privilege of working with world class trainers, competitors and judges such as Gottfried Dildei, Ivan Balabanov, Lance Collins, Jurgen Ritzi, Bernard Flinks, Ronny Van der berg, Per Svoldgaard Nielsen, Hauro Masuda, Uwe Stolpe, Stewart Hilliard, Don Yarnell (LAPD) Pat Funnell and Pat Brown-John.

Reg is a Licensed Helper and Judge with the Australian United Sportdog Clubs (AUSC) and has been selected for both overseas, interstate, local and national competitions. In his professional life Reg works as a Canine Development Officer and has attended many conferences/seminars relating to training police service & security dogs.

In 2007 Reg and 'Bryan Vom Haus Mecki' made Australian history when they attended the FMBB IPO World Championships in Le Torquet France, becoming the first team to ever represent Australia on an international level in the sport of IPO. Upon returning home from the World Championships Reg competed at the 2008 AUSC IPO National Championships in Sydney and won AUSC's Grand National Champion title!

Karyn is also a competent trainer and competitor in her own right having successfully titled dogs up to the level of IPO 3. At the 2009 AUSC National Championships Karyn placed second with her Malinois Vanrusselhof Krueger IPO3 and won best obedience in the competition. Both spectators and competitors alike congratulated Karyn on a very 'impressive' obedience performance.
