In the late 1990’s, Karen discovered agility. The sport was just getting popular and Karen’s girls attempted to participate but they all had multiple orthopedic issues which kept them from excelling. In 2005, Karen’s long awaited agility dog was born. Jerome, MACH PDCH Deerwood’s Just A Gigolo MXS MJS MXF PMTD T2B AXO OJP CD RE TSX NTS NUR NTPS, started training with Kim Seiter at 12 weeks of age. Fast forward to 2015. Jerome is recently retired.

Jenn Stollery got her first dog in her early 20s and fell in love with dog sports and training. She started with agility and has tried nearly every sport available to her and her rowdy cavaliers. She enjoys training people to better communicate with their dogs and strengthen the bonds between them. She is super positive and loves to laugh. If you are looking for low pressure, super silly, really upbeat training, take a class with Jenn. Make sure to bring loads of treats and a positive attitude.
