Published July 16, 2009 09:19 am - July 16, 2009 Doggone fun Mother and son dog trainers Stephanie and D.J. Carroll love what they do - together. By RENEE FITE Press Special Writer
Wondering what to do to bond with your child after a summer flurry of activity? Pick just one favorite you both share and focus more time and attention on it. And the child. Stephanie Carroll didn’t realize that would happen when she was showing dogs, but her son, D.J., 18, is now a top winner in junior showmanship. They’re both passionate about showing, competing and their unique pooches. But they also take time to bring some cold-nose hugs to patients with their therapy dogs. Mom and son travel, “from an hour to 12,” going to shows, said D.J. He’ll be a freshman at Northeastern State University. “[We travel] from California to Westminister, New York,” Stephanie said. What is noticeable is their affection for their four-legged companions as they help them out of the vehicle. And for each other. They talk as they work with getting the dogs out of the vehicle without the conflict often present when a mom and teen try to do anything together. When direction is given by mom, it’s met with cooperation. Even enthusiasm.
