Debi is incredibly motivational, and her experience and upbeat attitude make attending one of her seminars a pleasure and an inspiration to get out there and train.

These days, Debi teaches obedience and Agility and competes with her own dogs. She has been among the Top 3 contenders in several NADAC Championships, has won the 16" division at the NADAC Championships, and has had multiple dogs in the NADAC Top 10 List throughout the years.
