Karen’s dog related interests include therapy dog work and AKC tracking training.  Her (mostly) mini poodle Sophie was a therapy dog for a number of years, earning her CGC and her TDIA from Therapy Dogs International, meaning that she completed a minimum of 50 documented visits.  Sophie went on to make between 75 and 100 visits before retiring recently due to her advancing age and hearing loss. Currently, Karen is doing therapy visits with Finn, her black standard poodle.  He has also earned his CGC from TDI, Inc. Karen and Finn train for tracking about once a week and hope to eventually earn their Tracking Dog title and then possibly more advanced tracking titles.  She also plans to start him in agility training soon.
