Bree has been active with her dogs since 1992. She started training in obedience, carting, herding and agility with her two Rottweilers and was soon assisting for Common Sense Dog Training. In 1996 Bree purchased her first Jack Russell Terrier and became involved in Jack Russell Terrier Trials. From that time until present she has been competing in a variety of sports with her JRT's including conformation, go-to-ground, racing, lure coursing, jumpers, and agility, as well as hunting in the field.
In late 2004 Bree met Audrey Ferrel of Best Behavior Dog Training, and it was fast friends from the get go. Bree was soon assisting for BBDT, and shortly there after was instructing the obedience and foundation agility classes. She is very grateful to Audrey for all the knowledge and assistance she has given her with the start of Pawsitive Principles, without Audrey, Bree's dream may have never been a reality.
