Nina Feltmann

 

Having taken obedience classes from Dana Stillinger since 1991 and enrolling a dog in Doggy Daycare, Nina joined Best Friends as a member of the Doggy Daycare staff in 2004. Her love of puppies and training quickly drew her to begin assisting in the Puppy Kindergarten and Beginners Obedience classes. After over 4 years of assisting with classes, Dana encouraged Nina to move from class assistant to primary class instructor. Her experience includes training her personal dogs in Obedience, Tricks and Rally Obedience; raising 5 Guide Dog puppies and serving for 12 years as leader for Benton County’s 4-H Guide Dog Project; continuing to study Dog Behavior by supervising and interacting with animals in the daycare, reading, seminars, and taking classes; and being mentored by Dana. Nina loves using these experiences to help Best Friends students teach their dogs to be well socialized, enjoyable family companions and active life long learners.
