Lori Webster, Cheryl Carlson & Carole Field
Cher Car Kennels specializes in ALL breed training for the family pet, along with advanced training for sport, protection and police. Our combined training programs have graduated over 18,000 dogs since 1977. The combined experience of owner/operators Cheryl Carlson and Lori Webster along with business partner Carole Field creates a truly unique team offering expertise in nearly every facet of dog training. We specialize in preventing dog behavior problems by educating dog owners through personalized private home visits, group classes or in-kennel "boarding school" training, using positive, praising methods of dog obedience instruction. We provide the knowledge, understanding and expertise necessary to teach your dog "good behavior" rather than simply punishing what you might perceive as "bad behavior".
The overall well-being of the dog is then achieved through a special balance of loving attention, exercise and a sense of purpose derived through training.
