Specializing in TEAM
BASED* agility training.
*What is team based training?
Team based training focuses on the bond
between handler and dog.
Team work comes first, perfection comes
second.
You will never have perfection if your
team mate doesn't want to play (work) with you!
**I do not employ, condone or allow aggressive, dominant training
or the harsh treatment (verbally or physically) of dogs at any time!**
The focus of my classes: To have fun with your dog while establishing the team bond that
is needed in dog sports. I firmly believe that your dog is your pet and family member first and your teammate
second. Agility, or any dog sport, should be fun for both members of the team.
