Happy Friday everyone !!! Looks like will be a gorgeous weekend for you and your pups ! What are our all doing ?? Hopefully something fun!!!!
In the meantime we would like to introduce one of our lovely teachers ❤️ !
My name is Karen Allen, I am a canine bodyworker and owner of Evolution Canine Therapy. I have had dogs, cats, birds, horses, and rabbits my whole life. I entered the dog sport world about 12 years ago with my Boxer, Gunner.
I currently have 5 dogs - 3 Australian Shepherds, a Minature American Shepherd, and a Border Collie x Australian Shepherd. My first love is agility, but we have trained and/or competed in 3 different agility venues (NADAC, CKC and ASCA), dock diving, disc, herding, rally obedience, obedience, lure and a bit of flyball. I have attended NADAC Championships twice, the last time being in 2022 with 3 dogs. My boy Cooper and I placed 4th in our division, Hank and Rush placed midway in their divisions. Cooper and I were lucky enough to hit the podium in the team event along with Carla Antal and Dave Steerman!
Cooper and I have earned 11 different NATCHs and we are hoping to earn many more! I love to learn and I am stepping out of my comfort zone and learning AAC and UKI style agility. I have been very fortunate in my agility career to have trained with some of the best in the agility game! Further, I love to teach, share knowledge, and nothing makes me happier than seeing the "aha" moments in students and their dogs!
