I've been doing agility for over 15 years now, and I have been teaching others to have fun with their dogs since 2001.
I don't believe one size fits all in agility and do not follow one specific handling system. I love how my agility handling has expanded over the last few years and I'm really embracing fun and exciting handling techniques that don't restrict me at all. I have loads of different ideas for helping all sorts of dogs and handlers improve their teamwork and course running.
Over the years I have taken three dogs to their Australian Agility Championship in ADAA and have won multiple big events with different dogs at both ANKC and ADAA Nationals. For more info on this check out the Our Dogs page. :)
I have also been Team Coach for Australia at the WAC back in 2010. WAO Team management also awarded me a wild card spot at WAO in 2012. In 2015 I was one of the Australian Team members for WAO.
In 2008, I started teaching students privately. Then, due to demand, in 2010 I was able to establish Red Dog Agility as a full time training business. More importantly, I love seeing how much my students improve and achieve with their dogs. Check out the testimonials page to see a sample of the variety of dog breeds that train here with me at home and how they enjoy my instruction.
