I have always loved animals. I grew up on a farm with many animals. I was 3 years old when I first competed with my horse and continue to this day to compete with my horses and dogs. I have been involved in dog agility for over 20 years. I own Fun Animal Sports Training Center. I share a 18 acre farm with my husband, two children, dogs, cats, goats, horses, donkeys, bulls, sheep and a pig. I have been instructing agility and obedience for over 15 years. I put on agility trials and agility and conditioning seminars throughout the country. I own and competes with a variety of breeds including Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Shelties, Cattle dogs and Terriers as well as mixed breeds. This makes me a well-rounded think outside the box handler and instructor. My dog Comet and I won the 2011 NADAC Championships. Comet has bonus qualifying runs. Not only did I make it to the finals in 2015, many of my students placed in the top 3.I am also involved in dog rescue as I often foster (and end up keeping) dogs. I enjoy working with rescue dogs to give them the love and training they need to be adopted into their forever homes.
