Our Philosophy

Mahogany Ridge has built itself upon a philosophy that enables success through trust, respect and understanding while building the relationship of dog and handler.
At Mahogany Ridge, we are truly dedicated to helping you understand and build the bond between you and your pet.

Welcome,

In the fall of 1982, Mahogany Ridge dog training school was established in Upstate NY. In September 2009, Mahogany Ridge, Home of Team Training, was sold to Jennifer Weis. Jen continues with the Mahogany Ridge legacy in Malta New York under Mahogany Ridge N.Y. LLC, offering daycare, private lessons, workshops, and group classes in obedience and agility. Jen will also be hosting the Fall Adult Camps! and the three, week-long KidsCamp's!

My family and I (Theresa Richmond) are settling in nicely. Our neighbors are wonderful and have made us feel right at home. There is much work to be done both inside and out. Patrick and I are keeping up with it so far. I am looking forward to classes that begin next week and remain available by phone 540-547-2958, cell at 518-258-7030 or email: Theresa@mahoganyridge.net



This photo was taken on a day hike that Patrick and I took to Mary's Rock. We accessed the trail off Skyline Drive. the weather was perfect and the beauty that surrounded us confirmed that we made the right choice to spend the rest of our days in Culpeper!


Above is a class photo from our agility class in April at the annual Vohard Training Camp.
Camp was well attended and I, of course, had a wonderful time meeting old friends and making new ones!


Helen Fischedick with Luxor

Our very first guest!

Helen and Luxor visited from New York at the end of March. Helen is a well known student at Mahogany Ridge in Malta having taken every class possible over the last few years. Helen followed me down and stayed several days. Although the weather was a little cold (Helen was hoping for some warmer weather) we enjoyed our time together dinning our and window shopping. Luxor had a wonderful time running in the fields and getting to know all our dogs and their new way of life in Virginia.
Patrick and I enjoyed your company Helen and hope time sends you for another visit sometime soon.


I have updated our current schedule of classes (click here) beginning with a beginner agility class on May 12. We will add classes as we get into the fall. I will be in New York 4 weeks during July and August teaching KidsCamp! I will continue to be available for private lessons the weeks that I am home.

Welcome,

As I sit here at the computer today my mind is racing as I have only 3 days to prepare to return to New York for a week of KidsCamp! Sabine is joining me on Friday and we will travel together.

Find our July campers photo on the Mahogany Ridge New York front page! Next week will mark our 29th KidsCamp! since June of 1999! Be sure to check back next month for more information about August in New York and KidsCamp! in Virginia!
