With more than 20 years of training, Nanci is Splashdown’s owner and trainer. Splashdown began as a self-journey in training her own dogs, and developed into assisting others in meeting goals with their own dogs.
As an educator for more than 30 years, Nanci brings her ability to break down skills and knowledge not just for dogs, but for humans. This allows both to achieve at the highest levels.
Certified as a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), North America Diving Dogs (NADD) judge, an American Kennel Club (AKC) evaluator, and an UpDog judge, Nanci teaches classes in distance diving, air retrieve, hydrodash, scent work, foundation agility, rally obedience, disc, tricks, as well as general dog skills such as AKC S.T.A.R. puppy and Canine Good Citizen. She has coached multiple teams to national championships and placements in all dock diving disciplines and was able to gain a 2024 NADD National Championship herself in Hydro dash with her rescue border collie-Bo.
Nanci currently shares her dog world with Tucker, Bo and Chip who all compete in a wide variety of sports.
