• The Animal Connection - Lois Reetz - Animals have a pure heart that is deeper than any of us know; they are filled with love and I have found they are noble and selfless to the core.  Animals can be our best friends, who we lean on when times are hard, or when our heart is broken in some way. They too have loves and dislikes just like humans do.   As an animal communicator, the goal I have taken on is to help bridge the gap we humans have with our animal friends so we can understand them, and that sometimes what is going on isn’t quite what we think it is.  Ultimately, I want to help, teach, and heal animals and humans alike so we may get along in peace and understanding. 
• Animal Connections – Linda Ledbeter – Linda Ledbeter specializes in health and behavioral issues in the animal world.  She is a Certified Healing Touch Therapist (people), Healing Touch for Animal Practitioner, Level 2 Reiki, and Minister/Counselor.

• Hot Diggity Dog Reward Training - Christine DuBois - I can't remember a time when animals were not part of my life.  I started training 35 years ago with the family dog then went on to train the neighbors chows.  I did take a break to get married and have 4 children.  I was head trainer for the Manitowoc County Kennel Club for over 20 years and Obedience Director for over 4 years.  I am currently a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) evaluator for the AKC.  I have a  private home training and behavior consults business for the last 6 years with referrals from a local Manitowoc vet .  I continue my education by going to seminars on dog aggression, training, dogs body language, behavior and learning theory with some of the top people in their fields.  I watch as many DVD's and read as many books as I can.  I love to figure out how to change a dog's behavior with the least amount of stress for the dog and have a fun time doing it.  I now share my home with three dogs, Sadie, a 6 yo Jack Russell, Bear, a 15yr Australian Shepherd and Wylie, a 13 yr. PitX.
• Hot Diggity Dog Reward Training – Kay Baum - Dogs have always been a part of my life, from my Dad's hunting Beagles, to my current pack of six (4 Australian Shepherds, a Border Collie, and a Golden/Lab mix).  One of my great joys is training dogs, and I have taken several of my dogs into competitive obedience with some success.  I am a member of the APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers), an organization that promotes positive training as a means to foster a better relationship between dog and owner, while training the dog to be a  well-mannered member of the family.  Our goal as teachers is to make training your dog a positive, fun experience for both you and your dog.
