Paula Ratoza has been training dogs for over forty years. She has taught obedience classes for Portland Park Bureau and Portland Community College, and developed the dog-training program for Mt. Hood Community College. She has coordinated the dog agility demonstration at the Ocktoberfest in Portland, 
Oregon. For several years, she has arranged a two-day agility competition that has included many of the top dogs in the Pacific Northwest vying for prize money. Paula “rubs shoulders” with some of the best-looking and best-trained dogs in the country, and as a result, was able to cast over forty dogs each for Eukanuba and ProPlan commercials.
On a more personal note, Paula is a true dog-lover, and breeds, trains, and handles Doberman Pinschers in conformation, obedience, agility, nose work, tracking, rally, musical free-style, and protection. Her own dogs have earned High-In-Trial awards in obedience, rally and agility competitions. She is in high demand as an AKC Agility judge. More information regarding training opportunities can be found at Baebae’s Dog Training. In addition, Paula and her dogs share their love through community service projects such as nursing home, hospital, and school visitations.
