About Our Business

Taylor'd Canines was owned and operated by Dean & Lesli Taylor of Yelm, Washington until December 2006.  Taylor'd Canines is now owned and operated solely by Lesli Taylor.

It is a business combining the love of Dog Training, French Ringsport and the Belgian Malinois breed.

Taylor’d Canines offers 25 years of combined dog training knowledge and experience as well as 20 years of working with the beloved Belgian Malinois breed.

After 10 years of continued service to the North American Ring Association (NARA), and 22 years of involvement with French Ringsport in the USA, Lesli took a few years off from French Ring and Ringsport Club training in late 2005.  Her Club, WWRT (Western Washington Ring Trainers), also took a hiatus in 2006 due to the unexpected departure of lead decoy and club training director Dean Taylor.

Lesli has currently restructured AND resurected her French Ringsport Club with the help of former WWRT club training decoy Ed Marshall and some new decoys.

Taylor'd Training welcomes dog/handler teams from all disciplines to learn the art of French Ringsport.
