Mary Ellen Barry

Mary Ellen's popularity as a seminar presenter has grown due to her ability to break things down for students and explain and clarify concepts.  She has an excellent eye and is able to pinpoint simple training exercises for handlers to work on at home to improve coursework.

Mary Ellen has been involved in dog training for 15 years.  She's earned an ADCH with 3 border collies, 14 year old Zoe, 9 year old Fizz (who earned her ADCH before her 3rd birthday) and 5 year old E-Z.  Fizz and Mary Ellen represented the USA at the 2006 IFCS World Championships in the Netherlands where they earned 6 placements including 3 Gold Medals.  They represented the USA again at the 2008 IFCS World Championships in Belgium.  She's currently competing with Fizz and E-Z as well as her 2 year old Fizz daughter, Maizy.

Mary Ellen has taught seminars and camps throughout the U.S and Canada.
