"Joy is such a good teacher. She is fair, excellent at what she does, and very quick to praise. I have trained in many different venues and have never had a teacher as positive as Joy. I have heard Joy say she loves teaching and it really shows."– Jan Skewes

I have five dogs and I joined the world of agility, obedience, and pet therapy about four years ago. My first teacher was Joy Thompson. She is a very positive trainer. She makes you want to come back tomorrow for the next lesson. She is always happy to see you and your dog. My dogs wiggle all over when they see her. Joy always takes time to help me out even when I'm training at home. I feel very fortunate to know Joy.– Susen Dasch

I love training with Joy because she makes it a fun thing to do with your dog. She loves both people and animals which translates into a rewarding learning experience. Most of all she has endless patience, both for the dog and the human, mostly the human!– Pat Lokanis

"I like taking classes with Joy because she is so personable. The dogs and I always learn something. She makes it fun and there are PRIZES!"– Vikki Machuga

I like training with Joy because: 1. She never puts me down. 2. She always has patience with Coco and me. 3. She breaks the task down to make it simpler. 4. She encourages me to try things different ways.– Peggy Callister
