Kim Crenshaw took up formal obedience competition training as a hobby in the late 1980s and has been teaching since 1990.
She was a founding member and Training Director of the Obedience Training Center of Huntsville and was training director and manager of the school from 1992 through 2003. The Obedience Training Center was the largest training school in the Southeast during those years in terms of number of students, number of classes, number of instructors. It also produced the strongest competitive team in the area under Kim's guidance.

Kim's titles have been earned on six very different breeds (five Labrador Retrievers, a Golden Retriever, three Papillons, a Rottweiler, a Border Collie and a Shetland Sheepdog). She and her students hold many area records for wins and high scores and made up the most powerful competitive team in North Alabama in the mid and late 1990s. Most of the dogs Kim has shown in obedience have consistently earned scores of 195 or higher for each title. Spike and Willow posted scores of 198 as one of their three CDX legs. Flash has already posted a 196 for his second Open leg (May 2005).

Kim and Flash were ranked the #1 Novice Obedience team in the USA for 2003 in both the First and Foremost as well as the Delany ranking systems, an honor never before earned by a local trainer. In agility, her first agility dog Spike placed #2 in the 1999 National Puperoni Agility Tournament.

Kim is an AKC licensed Agility Judge and Rally Obedience Judge. She passed the agility judge seminar and tests on her first try in 2004 and became approved for all levels later that year. She was also approved as a Rally judge in 2004. She is also an ASCA licensed obedience judge.

Kim has personally earned more than 60 competitive performance titles, plus multiple national rankings, #1 in the US in obedience (Flash-2003) and #2 in the Puperoni National Agility Tournament (Spike-1999).
While she has certified, qualified and titled in a variety of sports, including tracking, hunt tests, herding,
her primary focus has been obedience and agility. All titles below are AKC titles unless otherwise noted.
