Snapshot: Golden Retrievers are intelligent, family-friendly dogs. Like all dogs, training should begin early in life, and Group Puppy Class is a perfect place to begin both training and socialization!
Karen Lutz is the owner of Elite K-9 Training. She is also the founder of N.E.O.S.A.R. (North Eastern Ohio Search and Rescue), which is now the K-9 team for the Mecca, Ohio Fire Station (visit MeccaK9.com). Karen started search work with the Allegheny Valley Search and Rescue K-9 Team, then decided she wanted a team like this in her community, thus starting NEOSAR. She then hand-picked the original team members, who are no longer with the team, but have moved on to other careers with dogs, and still remain good friends to this day.
Karen trains all breeds. In addition to Basic and Advanced Obedience, she trains search dogs in Air Scenting, Cadaver, and Article Search. She offers private lessons, or you can send your dog for training. She also sells dogs that are already trained, when available, as pets or for working. She loves interacting with the owners and their dogs.
Karen did not go to school to get a degree for training. Her knowledge comes from all the seminars, working with other trainers and dog handlers, and from learning hands-on, being in the show ring, and in the field. Karen has been around animals all her life, and believes there are some abilities that just can’t be taught. They are God given talents (or gifts).
Karen is recommended by veterinarians in her community that have known her and the work she has done. She has enjoyed training, working, and breeding Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, and Chihuahuas. She also owns a Belgian Tervuren, and Border Collies. Please feel free to call Karen with any questions about her training programs and any dogs she might have available. (330) 883-6904.
