My name is Timo Rieg and I was born in Mutlangen, Germany. It was not until I moved to the USA that I started training our own shepherd and got introduced to helper work. I have been fortunate to be mentored by several great people in the sport. Since moving to Florida in February 2017, I have been training with Phil Hoelcher at Highway Schutzhund Club. Currently I am a certified helper for the DVG (Level 1), GSDCA (National Level) and USCA (Club level).

I would like to thank the Helper Committee for the opportunity to be a helper for the 2022 AWDF Championship. I have been in the sport since 2005 and have been hooked and working dogs from the beginning. I have had the privilege of doing the back half helper work at a couple National Events and numerous Regional Championships. I love doing helper work and testing the dogs, and I also love competing with my own dogs at the national level. I really appreciate both sides of the sport and appreciate the hard work the handlers and helpers put into the sport. I wish everyone the best and I am excited to see the dogs this year competing.
