The Dog Ranch at Liberty Hill

What happens when you combine a lifetime love of teaching and learning, an amazing passion for dogs, and one giant dream come true? Well, you have The Dog Ranch at Liberty Hill!

For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. When I didn't have a dog of my own, I worked with my neighbor's dogs, my friend's dogs, or any stray dog that I could find. I just knew that one day…if only I could…I would work with dogs for a living. But who can do that? Who can do what they love?

I spent ten years of my life teaching seventh grade writing and reading. I loved every second of it and although I'm not in the classroom now, I still consider myself a teacher with a capital 'T'. One thing I discovered about learning, whether it's learning with kids or dogs, is that it's about interaction. Without interaction, there is no relationship, no learning, and no growth.

Knowing this, I spend every free moment I have working and interacting with my dogs. I have competed, trained and at the very least dabbled in almost every dog sport or activity you can think of: agility, rally, frisbee, obedience, conformation, lure coursing, dock diving, flyball, canine freestyle (dog dancing), herding, and most recently, schutzhund. I believe that minds and bodies love a challenge and I believe this is true for both humans and dogs. With this in mind, I wanted to create a place for dogs that allows many positive experiences and interactions with humans and other dogs. A place where dogs can get the mental and physical stimulation they need to promote a healthy, happy lifestyle.
