Director

Sheila Jones

I have been an active dog owner/lover, advocate, and contributing member to several organizations impacting the lives of dogs in a meaningful way.  I started with Boston Terriers and AKC Rally in 2005 and became hooked on canine sports, training, and being an active dog community member.  

I'm grateful to have been a volunteer with the Asheville Humane Society and Greater Charlotte SPCA where I fostered and trained many dogs to go to their forever homes.  

I live in Indian Trail with my husband and tow Belgian Laekenois (Charlotte and Devereux).  Charlotte has titles in agility scentowrk, dock diving, barn hunt and tricks.  Devereux trials in FastCAT and Rally.  

I especially enjoy all the volunteer opportunities at CDTC.  I've been assistant to Bit Jordan with her Obedience classes and volunteered with various trial venues.

Director

Lisa Johnson

Lisa is originally from Wisconsin and has been competing in AKC obedience trials since she was 12 years old.  She started with her family’s Doberman and continued with Dobermans until just recently when she adopted a Belgian Malinois.  Her passion is taking rescues with behavioral issues, rehabbing them and then competing.  She has been a member of CDTC for over 20 years and has been an instructor, assistant instructor and has also served on the Board as Secretary and Director.  She enjoys competing in AKC obedience and has achieved a UD, and also enjoys Rally, but her real love is Schutzhund where she and Gusto have titled at the highest level and competed at National and Regional events. They have also now begun training in Agility and look forward to the fun journey ahead.
