Donna Nisleit
I've shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember -- from mixed breed shelter rescues, to farm bred puppies, to pure bred dogs.
Currently we have a Vizsla and two German Shorthaired Pointers. We actively compete in Barn Hunt, Conformation, Agility, Obedience, Rally, Nose Work, and Hunt Tests. I'm always willing to try different activities with the dogs - depending on what they enjoy.
I've been a professional dog trainer since 2009, an AKC CGC Evaluator since 2014 and a Barn Hunt judge since 2018.
While I do enjoy the competition, I most enjoy being able to spend time with our dogs -- whether that's at an event or at our home - affectionately referred to as Muddy Paws Ranch.
Emily Monroe
Emily was born and raised in Wisconsin, but spent nearly a decade in Montana working with dogs of all shapes and sizes. After returning to Wisconsin, she owned and operated a small pet supply store for over eight and a half years, building strong connections within her local pet community.
She shares many first-time experiences with her Cardigan Welsh Corgi, Mahnke—her first purebred dog and her first performance partner. Together, they discovered Barn Hunt, which has become their primary focus and passion. As a team, they have competed multiple times at both Regional and National levels with great success.
Emily especially enjoys watching teams grow and gain confidence in the Barn Hunt ring, finding it incredibly rewarding to see the bond between handler and dog develop over time. While Barn Hunt remains their specialty, she and Mahnke also enjoy exploring new dog sports and trying out different venues whenever they can.
liz Groehler
Liz has always loved working with animals and can’t remember a time when she didn’t have at least one under her care. She grew up with mixed-breed dogs, and for her, watching dog sports on TV was the equivalent of watching the Super Bowl.
Currently, Liz has a mixed-breed and a German Shorthaired Pointer involved in Lure Coursing, Barn Hunt, Therapy Dog Work, Conformation, Hunt Trials, Agility, and Scent Work. She began competing in Barn Hunt in 2022 with her first dog and now competes with both of her dogs at the Master Level. She loves teaching people how to work with their dogs and helping them try something new!
