I have been involved in dog agility since 2016 soon after moving to Devon and getting my first dog. Starting out training for fun, I soon became attracted to the competitive side of the sport and enjoy travelling the South West at weekends to take part at held events. I completed my agility instructor training in 2020 to pass on my love of the sport while also encouraging people to become more active with their dogs and help build their bond.

I have a great love of dogs and owned a few. l am a trained kennel maid and showed and worked with dogs in the past. I've been enjoying agility for many years having got the bug from a trial class a long time ago.
I do competitions myself in the local area which are exciting and great fun.
I have been helping to train agility for 6 years and have successfully taught dogs to competition level.
