Woman with white dog and award ribbon.

Nancy Hibiske Reed left the corporate world in 2014 to focus on training dogs and riding horses.

Her current dogs include Hondo E. Lane (Dutch shepherd), Reiker Lee (white German shepherd dog), and Rin Tin Tins Independence (aka Rocky) (white German shepherd dog).

A Philosophy of Partnership

Nancy’s philosophy is that all training should enhance your relationship with your dog. Her dogs have earned multiple titles in Nosework (UKC, NACSW, C-WAGs), tracking (AKC, SDA), Agility (UKC, AKC, CPE), Freestyle (WCFO), Weight Pull (UKC, IWPA), and Therapy Dog (TDI). She also enjoys dog sledding, bikejoring, hiking, and camping with her dogs.

A Lifetime of Training

Nancy and her dogs are members of the Rockin’ Rovers, a west Michigan canine performance troupe that performs freestyle (dancing with dogs to music) routines for canine events, nursing homes, non-profits, and parades. She is a founding member and committee chair for the annual Frosty Dog Follies, a freestyle competition put on by the Rockin’ Rovers.  She also enjoys collecting German shepherd dog memorabilia, especially anything Rin Tin Tin, and has a special affinity for Quonset huts.
