W hile Joyce Robertson has always been a dog lover, it wasn’t until Jackson—a Chesapeake Bay Retriever of award-winning lineage—came into her life that her passion extended into her profession. Robertson was “bitten by the bug,” and has spent the past five years sharpening her skills, becoming one of the most unique and accomplished dog trainers here on the Island. And accomplished she is. With accreditation as a Certified Dog Trainer with the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, and continuous development through various outlets, Robertson is always keeping up with the latest techniques. “I have been fortunate to
attend several significant international dog-training conferences in Hartford, Dallas, Las Vegas, and Ohio,” says Robertson. “What I love the most about training is being able to see the positive changes in both people and their dogs. Observing the connection happening between a person and their dog, and knowing that I helped them make a difference in their relationship, is truly satisfying,” she says. Red Dog Training offers a full range of courses, from Puppy Classes and Basic Obedience to more advanced training programs. In addition to group classes, Red Dog also provides private training as an alternative for clients wanting

Robertson is also well-versed in specialized training, offering a Cart and Wagon Course that teaches dogs to pull carts. This provides a great source of exercise for the dog, and a sense of job fulfillment. “Imagine how much fun it would be to have your dog helping you around the yard, or pulling a cart or sled with your children,” says Robertson.
“Dogs absolutely love these activities, and it’s great mental stimulation and a confidence builder for them,” says Robertson. “It develops a relationship of cooperation between dogs and their owners.” Robertson is also currently developing a Recreational Tracking Course to begin this fall. Red Dog Training’s relaxed and positive learning environment is the perfect atmosphere for any dog, young or old, to learn from the best.
Red Dog Training offers a Nosework Retrieving
Course as well. The course provides a variety of unique exercises to practice what comes naturally to all dogs— it’s a chance for dogs to use their sense of smell, and have
