I started on my agility journey, competing with my Parson Terriers, Buzz & Woody in 2001, who successfully got to grade 6 before early retirement due to an injury. My Border Collie is recently retired due to medical conditions, he too reached Grade 6 and my young dog Zelda started competing in May 2024 and sits 1 win away from Grade 4.

I have coached owners and trained their dogs to the highest KC level, grade 7 (Champ) and coached beginners through the Starter Cup to the finals held at The London International Horse Show.
