OCEAN'S love of training began while working with COPE Service Dogs. She received multiple awards for matching her expertly-trained Golden Retrievers with people with disabilities from across the region.  Upon training her first herding dog NIKA (a Border collie X/Australian Shepherd), she added Purebred Aussie PRAIRIE to the mix.
