I began exploring the word of agility five years ago with my wonderful dog Tallah. Because
Tallah is a very sensitive natured dog I was challenged to find ways to make training as fun
and stress free as possible…hence I become an expert at playing with and motivating the
“soft” dog. I not only create all sorts of new and fun ways to reward dogs, but also work
hard to find motivational games from the collection of toys and rewards which cater to each
individual dog’s desires. Seeing the enthusiasm I generated in my “soft” dog provided
evidence that I have the tools to help a wide variety of dogs. So, whether you have a dog
genetically designed for work (most herding breeds), or a pal with whom you just want to
learn to play and communicate better, my tool box is brimming with ideas, toys, and plans.
I am constantly advancing my skills by regularly attending dog training classes, seminars,
and working various dogs. From a student’s perspective, I keep in mind the challenges one
deals with when learning, and am also able to study what works (and what doesn’t) for
individual people and their dogs. I work hard to support students in designing the best
training program for their dog, as experience working with dozens of different temperaments
and aptitudes has clearly taught that training programs must be individually tailored.
Agility is a wonderful sport which provides ways to exercise both the dog’s mind and body.
My background in training, conditioning, and rehabilitating horses translates extremely well to
the process of developing and maintaining the performance dog’s physique. In addition, my
personal athletic pursuits, which include internal martial arts (chi gung, tai chi) in conjunction
with my movement-awareness studies (yoga, stretching, and dance), add greatly to my
knowledge. This is a great benefit in helping me ensure my students and their dogs remain
safe and healthy in the sport of agility.
