Ozzie Foreman has been training dogs in the Greater Cincinnati area since 1974.
Her canine clients have included young dogs, so-called problem dogs (no problem for Ozzie - she has gained a reputation for solving many difficult training problems) and dogs training for competition. As evidenced below, Ozzie is familiar with training dogs for multiple certifications, including agility, water rescue and service dog. Whether your goal is to have a pleasant, obedient pet, or to show, Ozzie has experience!
Ozzie and her husband, Rick, have trained seven Newfoundlands, two American Staffordshire Terriers (Pit Bulls), and three Shelties to a long list of obedience, performance, conformation, and agility titles.
Ozzie is also a published author on the topic of dog training. She has written a regular column for Front & Finish, the dog trainer's magazine, since 1995. She also wrote the "Ask the Dog Trainer" and "Around the Show Ring" columns for the website Dog Owner's Guide. (Read My dog always jumps on me... as an example.) She has also had numerous articles published in Off Lead, Dog and Kennel and several TFH books.
Here's a list of Ozzie and Rick's own dogs' titles.
