​Lora began training and showing dogs at a very young age. As a child, she would frequently attended therapy dogs, dog obedience classes and dog shows with her mother, Judy Ramsey. At 15 years old, Lora got her first dog, a Papillon named Piper. Piper recently passed away but we will remember him not only by his love but also by his various obedience, rally and agility titles. Lora and Piper also did Therapy Dog work in San Antonio at a nursing home while Lora attended college at UTSA. While in San Antonio for college, she also taught beginning and foundation classes at K9 Country Club for four years.

 

Marco, Lora's second dog, was from Border Collie Rescue, and earned a multitude of obedience, rally and agility titles throughout the years, including a MACH (agility championship).  Flare is Lora's oldest Border Collie who currently competing in scent work.  Lora and Flare competed in AKC and UKI agility, and attended the US Open multiple times, making it to speedstakes finals one year! Spicy is about a year younger than Flare and is from Border Collie Rescue. Spicy has some obedience, rally and agility titles but mainly she enjoys hanging out and spending time hiking. Porter is a 6 year old border collie working on agility skills and competes in AKC and UKI agility! The newest addition to the household is Surprise, a black and white 4 month old border collie! Surprise has been on the podium at regional UKI events and has earned a multitude of agility titles in UKI. Holiday is Lora's 5th and newest dog! Holiday is a Belgian Malinois and was rescued from the streets of Houston after she was dumped by her previous owner. Lora is training and beginning to compete in UKI agility with Holiday! She also enjoys training obedience skills and heel work, as well as nosework and scent work.  

​

In training, Lora really focuses on the relationships with her dogs.  She believes all training in every aspect should strengthen the relationship between dog and human in a positive manner.  When dogs enjoy learning, they perform skills better.  ​
