Beth Brock, Instructor/Daycare Attendant
Beth's love for dogs goes back to when she was a child hanging out at her grandparent's house on Long Island. There she played with their German Shepherd & Golden Retriever. She was always the kid bringing home strays.

Her introduction to the competitive world of dogs came when she was working at the YMCA and a local dog-training club was using the gym to hold classes. She would go and watch when she knew they were there. The instructor had an awesome Great Dane who was amazing to watch. It was then that Beth decided she wanted a dog that could do that.

Beth adopted her first dog, Maddie from the Flat Coated Retriever Rescue. It took three years to train her and start competing. She was great; a once in a lifetime dog. She loves working with dogs and seeing them work.

She graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University with a BA in Education. She is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer from Connecticut K-9 in Newington, CT.

Beth's Canine Accomplishments include:

  • Maddie: CD, CGC, TDI
  • LL (Seleya's Leon Leonwood Bean): NA, CGC
  • Madonna (CH Willowbrook the Material Girl): 2003 Top 10 UKC CH Terrier Racer
  • Dev (Dual CH Peachbrook Devil's Advocate): CGC, Top 30 AKC Border Collie, #3 UKC Border Collie
