Bonnie and Tillie started their agility career at Mahogany Ridge with Theresa as her first agility instructor. With a push from Theresa, Bonnie entered her first agility trial and has been sucessfully competing in agility ever since. For the last few years Bonnie has been teaching agility classes at Mahogany Ridge.
"Tillie was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma in August 2004. She fought the disease pretty hard. Her spirit stayed strong but she eventually lost the battle. She enriched my life in more ways than I can say and I will miss her terribly. There will be more agility dogs in my life but she will always be my first and most amazing." Bonnie

This is from the last time SueAnn had her clinic.
ChaDich thought the bed in the office was a perfect fit.
"He left us on 1/7/05, ChaDich brought love and joy to all he met.
His time with us is a gift we will treasure forever."
Targ just had a grand time! I think he's grinning!

Theresa is a kind, loving person & trainer!
All 15 of us love when she arrives! We know she will praise us for listening and treat us for staying put.
We are a bit much to handle but she has no problem. Theresa is a real pro!!! Our gang is just beginning but before long we'll all be stars!!! Lots of Barks, Licks and Wags. The Riggi Clan

Foxfire Mossy Oak, CGC
Moss is a Black & Tan Coonhound and a regular at Mahogany Ridge, having completed Novice Obedience, Advanced Beginners' Agility and Freestyle. He may be spotted (ears swinging) at SPAC walking with his owner. Or you might hear his unmistakable, melodious voice telling the squirrels there that "Moss is in the park"! He is charming and clownish. Moss can be a unique challenge; but thanks to the unwavering support and guidance of Theresa and her staff he intends to reach his full potential!

I, personally, would just like to thank you and your staff for offering such a wonderful service! Our animals are our children and having a place where we can drop Mina off during the day, with people we trust is a relief not to mention a very affordable luxury! Mina is the "fat kid on the playground" and though normally pretty lazy, she gets a great day of play and exercise, and comes home exhausted, but more importantly...she comes home happy.
Thanks again for being there! We, Mina included, love it!

Mina in the snow
This pic is not at Mahogany...
but you know that Mina loves the snow....this is during a snow storm...
she would NOT come in the house! She is a big snow head!

The volunteers of CAPP, an animal rescue organization based in Albany, New York, have attended two seminars presented by Theresa Richmond of Mahogany Ridge. Both seminars were very informative, covering topics such as proper assessment of dogs at intake, understanding "drives", and correcting behavioral issues to prepare dogs for placement. Theresa's seminars were particularly helpful to us since they were tailored specifically to meet our needs.

Life with two border collies could be chaos if not for the guidance, advise and training Theresa and her staff at Mahogany Ridge have provided to me and my two dogs. I feel so fortunate to have found a facility such as Mahogany Ridge and an instructor such as Theresa. By using the Volhard method, Theresa has been able to help me gain control of my strong willed girl and build confidence in my little scaredy girl. Theresa combines her knowledge of the breed with her understanding of a particular dog's temperament to develop a training plan that meets each owner's and dog's needs. Many times in class she is able to make adaptations to training exercises that will make each dog successful and strengthen the team of dog and owner. Theresa works to make classes interesting and fun. Smudge and I can hardly wait for agility to begin again, I think it's even more fun for the dog than me. Someone in class once commented about Smudge, "I think she'd work for you forever, if you'd let her." I believe that's a direct result of Theresa and her training in the Volhard method. My dogs and I are truly a team!
