Cheryl Sepulveda- Happy Dog Sports Facility Director & Ranch Decorator
When Cheryl was a kid, she didn’t always have a dog! Lassie was her dog and she watched her every Sunday night. Fast forward many years, to “empty nester”, when she discovered Shelties! She had the joy and privilege of training Breezy, Rudy, and Sophie (doggie angels now) and helped them earn many titles in agility, obedience, rally, and tricks. Currently, she is playing with Shelties Pepper and Cota as they learn agility skills at Happy Dog Sports. HDS is definitely their “happy place”!
