On February 21, 2009, Sandy competed at the International Kennel Club show at McCormick Place, Chicago with Sophie (Sophia Desimone CD RE), a Standard Black Poodle. Sophie earned her CD (Companion Dog Title) at the event. Sophie's owner was able to placed one leg towards Sophie's CD title b ut could not finish. (Sandy earned Sophia's 2nd leg at Northwest Kennel Club in Cary Illinois in December 2008.) Sophie started her training not with Sandy as her handler but as her instructor through Sandy's Rally Classes.

Three of Sandy's dogs have earned Canine Good Citizen certificates from AKC; two are certified as therapy dogs with Therapy Dog International, Inc. Sandy's dog Holly was awarded the American Kennel Club ACE Honorable Mention Award (Award for Canine Excellence) in 2006 for her work at the local fire department. In 2007, Sandy started the Canine Academy for those who are interested in pursuing AKC Rally Events in addition to private obedience lessons.

After nearly two years of planning, Sandy was "officially" given the position as Program Coordinator for Delnor Community Hospital's Dog Rx program in January 2008. She has also helped to change the IDPH Therapy Dog in Hospital Settings in August, 2008 (Illinois Department of Public Health).
