Training Services »
I have been competing in AKC Agility for the past 22 years, and have campaigned over 20 different dogs of various breeds and in all height categories. My training style is very upbeat, fast-paced and fun. I use a lot of positive reinforcement and methods which allow me to adapt to each individual dogs’ learning style. Agility should be enjoyable for both handler and dog alike! My goal is to help every team realize their potential and to get the most out of each dog in terms of enthusiasm and speed. Please enjoy browsing through some of the amazing dogs I’ve had the pleasure of working with!
