Barbara has brought her broad based teaching experience to the agility classes at Top Dog for over 10 years. While she has trained and titled her own dogs in herding, obedience, agility, breed, flyball, rally, and tracking, her first love is the sport of dog agility. Her belief that positive training produces a positive attitude makes her classes a fun experience for both the dog and handler. Her classes build a strong foundation for confident obstacle performance and future success in competition. Barbara's students have gone on to achieve top titles and placements in many different agility venues.
