​Supporters say: "Lee Mannix worked with us and Ralph for several years and made all the difference in Ralph's life and our relationship with him.  We miss him so much but are happy to contribute toward another lucky dog and their person experiencing the fantastic training."

The Schrodi Memorial Training Fund mourns the loss of Lee Mannix on May 2, 2010.  The Scholarship Fund is still available to continue Lee's mission to help dogs by working with trainers who were mentored by Lee Mannix.

​Founder, Shari Elkins, CPDT, shares her story...

Schrodi was my first dog as an adult.  From day one, she was my "problem child."  It took me years to find a trainer, such as Lee Mannix, who could truly understand and help in a compassionate way.   If not for Schrodi and her rowdy behavior, I would never have found my own passion for dog training nor would I have the four other wonderful dogs I have now (or for that matter I wouldn't have the man I love).  Schrodi was a profound dog whose name and legacy deserve to be carried on and I feel offering rehabilitation training is a perfect remembrance of the best dog in the world.  Please consider helping other dogs and keep Schrodi's memory alive. 

​The first Scholarship Recipient reflects: 

"I have lost count of the number of compliments Ali has received from places and people I was afraid to take her before our training; she now greets visitors with a toy in mouth waiting to be pet instead of her previous barking uproar that instilled fear into many.I will be forever grateful to the Schrodi Fund for giving me a chance to learn how to give back the endless love Ali has given me.  "
