Diane's been in love with Pembroke Welsh Corgis since 1968, when she bought "Pandora's Master Sandy CD." Sandy took her through high school, college, and moving out of home, and stayed with her for just shy of 17 years. Diane's first brood bitch, Sippiwisset Carabeth AmCan CDX AM UDT HIC, produced puppies who did well in Breed, Obedience through Utility titles, and in Agility.
Iris is coowned with Amanda Rizrer and has given many of our stars today including my husband's dog "Mac" and our latest hopeful Sandwynn's All That Jazz of Marshfield. Iris also proved herself competitively. Iris is a litter sister to my Potter and Storm. She has excelled as a brood bitch giving us two Agilitiy /Tracking stars now owned by Fran Wallo in Pennsylvania( Sandwynn's Pixie Dust and Sandwynn's Spice of Life), Joe's Sandwynn's Calm Before the Storm BN, RN, RA, Sandwynn's All That Jazz of Marshfld and Jazzy's sister Sandwynn's Fire and Brimstone of Marshfield owned by Jo Ann Carleton.
Jazzy is our youngest hopeful at Sandwynn. Jazzy is DM clear VWD clear and fluff free. Jazzy began her show career at the Mayflower 2015 Specialty with a third placement for her first Rally Novice leg. Jazzy has since earned her Beginner NoviceTitle, her RallyAdvanced title, Novice Agility Jumpers with weaves title, Open Standard Agility title and Herding Instinct Tested. She is a great mom! Both had scores of 99 out of 100!

We have worked through the puppy obedience and are moving on the CGC, and hands down Diane is the best! Out 6.5 month old has built some crucial skills like come when called thanks to her. She knows what she is doing and is always happy to answer any specific questions we have (which can be a lot with a young dog!). We are also excited for Agility this fall!

This woman was the absolute worst trainer I've ever encountered. She teaches a puppy to "leave it" by putting out hamburger on a plate, letting the dog approach it, yell LEAVE IT and when the little puppy keeps going toward the hamburger which it has never been taught before to not try to eat, she pinches the cheek causing enough pain that the puppy cries out repeatedly so that it will learn not to do it again!

She has too many dogs in a class to even have them fully grasp how to use a shake can or compressed air. She reminded me of the old school parents who would beat their kids into submission. She believes inflicting pain is a way to train an animal. She needs to be shut down ASAP

Was not impressed with anything at all except for the cost. I have been told the place is highly recommend by Veterinarians.

Diane is an excellent trainer. I have taken many of her classes over the years with my three dogs, mainly competitive obedience and rally classes. All of them have been excellent. Highly recommend Ellis Dog training!

We love bringing both of our dogs here! Gwen gives very personalized attention to each dog/owner team and there is a wide range of classes available. Great confidence booster for your dogs and you! Help your dog be a better canine citizen and take them to Paws to Train.
