Agility classes with Pam are always exciting, fun, and student-centered. Her instructional approach is highly interactive, and students are encouraged to stop and analyze handling strategies, offer suggestions, and encourage one another. Class with Pam feels like you are part of a genuine community. She works closely with each student; helping them to break down courses into manageable segments, analyze handling lines to find the most efficient path for both dog and handler, and demonstrate exercises that may help increase a dog’s potential.

 

Although she’s an instructor, coach, AKC judge, and a life-long dog lover, Pam is always a learner first! She continues her own growth by regularly attending and hosting advanced seminars with world-renowned handlers, instructors, and animal health care practitioners.
