Sport	Agility
Years Doing Sport	I started competing in agility in late 2021 which isn't long ago but we have crammed a load into that time.
Favourite memory with your Canine Athlete	Probably LIHS 2025! The first time we qualified I had two big fat eliminations. The time we went we achieved two clear rounds and 2nd overall. The whole day was so much fun and we felt like a really solid partnership. A real memento of how far hard work and determination can take you.

About Us
I am a behaviourist and trainer before I am a sports dog handler, and I am obsessed with everything dog training as a result, having done this for twelve years now! Understanding how the dogs brain works and translating that knowledge into performance in a competition arena is such a joy for me. Agility especially gives me a brilliant outlet for how busy and active I am, and I'm fortunate all my dogs love it as much as I do! I am passionate about health and fitness being a top priority, whether for a pet dog with reactivity issues or a sports dog and I already recommend Antinol to support their Joint Health anyway, so this is a very cool partnership to be involved in.
