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.
