Problem Solving in Utility

Utility level training represents the most complex teaching an obedience trainer will do.  Unfortunately, many trainers encounter puzzling and seemingly insoluble problems that have led more than one frustrated competitor to label the class "futility training." AnneMarie Silverton's Problem Solving in Utility traces most utility level problems to their source and provides a logical, careful explanation of the solution.  AnneMarie Silverton is a noted trainer and high scoring competitor known for breaking down training sequences into clear increments.  She applies this technique to problem-solving as well, applying logical solutions in a careful, clear manner.

Canine Training System's expert, AnneMarie Silverton, continues to be one of the country's top obedience trainers and competitors.  With a variety of different breeds, she and her students have obtained multiple Gaines wins, perfect 200 scores, as well as countless other awards.
