Hi everyone,
As you know I am not great at social media but I am working on improving that this year. I decided to start off with a Meet The Trainer and her agility dog post from the latest UKI Cup Competition. Thanks Bee Yourself Media Inc for doing this for us and PHD Dog Sports for hosting such a great event. ENJOY!

Thank you to Brenden from Bee Yourself Media Inc., for capturing highlights from our first UKI Cup!! We actually made it onto the podium 6 times over the wee...

I have had some time to reflect on 2024! What an outstanding year filled with amazing clients two and four legged. I have a great team of Impressive Clients competing in Obedience, RallyO, Agility and Scent Detection. Multiple clients earned multiple titles in 2024 and I am beyond excited for 2025!! Some of our competitive students have decided to move on in their journey and I was asked if I was ok with this. Yes! I know how important a Foundation is and I know what I have developed and what success they have had under my guidance. No one can take that away from me :) As for 2025, I have been in my own facility for 15 years and I want to celebrate! Open house coming soon! We went through a facelift and our advanced students are getting the opportunity to rent our space as well to get more practice time in. I am so excited to offer this to open up more opportunities!! Three cheers for another amazing year with our Impressive Canines!!

Have you been thinking about learning Scent Detection? I feel every dog and owner team benefits from this class and even clients that didn't think they would compete fell in love with this sport and are working on or are already actively competing! I have a session starting soon that has some spots available :) Your dogs Nose Knows! Come join the fun!!!

I hope everyone is having a great day! I just wanted to let you know that sadly we have had to raise our rates. Our rent at the facility is increasing by a huge amount December 1st and we have no choice but to increase rates to keep the door open. I hope you understand!

We are going to launch a new program where you can rent the school to practice for an hourly rate as well, so let us know if you are interested in more info. Email us at [email protected]

I have spent the majority of my career working hard to develop a strong agility program. Those that have stuck by me and supported me over the years Thank You! The sky is the limit and we can accomplish anything we put our hearts into! I will continue to strengthen my skills, to transfer them to you, so you can have just as much success in the agility ring :)

I attended another seminar with my dream agility dog Puzzle on Saturday and we had great success. Not only did we attempt a hard course, we accomplished the course more than once :) This was a Teri O'Neil Seminar with a Master Jumper Course. Enjoy this video:
