Hello everyone, I figured now would be a good time to introduce myself. My name is Michelle Boham, and I will be teaching all the classes that Chase Agility Team runs. I been training, handling, and competing in dog sport for 16 years. My main sports are agility and disc, but I have also handled dogs in conformation and trained in dock diving, behaviour management and tricks. I am currently training and competing with my two border collies, Pulsar and Gizmo. My passion is sport dog training, and I take every opportunity to expand my knowledge by taking as many courses, seminars, and workshops as possible.
