Meet Our Instructors

Dana, Instructor

Dana has been enjoying agility with her Siberian Huskies since 2004. Starting with the All Dog Sports Club, she has been instructing since 2009, and judging at K9-Kup since 2021. Her other dog activities include: sledding, obedience, Rally-O, and occasionally conformation. Her ambition for her students is to develop a stronger dog/handler bond so the team can have more fun playing together, wherever that leads them.

Dominique, Instructor

Big bright German Shepherd Geist was so terribly bored with CKC obedience that she drove Dominique to discover the sport of canine agility, back in 2008, before rubber surfaces and many things. In the early 2010s, when the agility club of the time was forced to re-locate and re-invent itself, Dominique was club facilities director and together with the Cranstones and other devotees, she established the Paws4Fun Agility club in a farmer’s field with new name and new logo.  Now retired from work and club administration while striving to improve her agility skills with humility and her third and most engaging agility companion, her Malinois Glitz, she finds it fulfilling to share what she has learned about tackling the wicked twins, snooker and gambler, with other students of canine agility who grapple with that pair of AAC course classes and seek tricks or insights.

Nancy, Instructor

Nancy has been teaching obedience for 8 years and practicing agility for 12. But it was her late Weimaraner, Timon, who truly gave her the agility bug three years ago, along with her instructor Rosemary. Since then, she has been part of the K9 Kup here at Paws4Fun and has taken part in a few trials. She now hopes to pass that same agility spark on to her students.

Laura, Instructor

Laura was first introduced to Agility when she took her new Husky puppy to obedience class; her instructor kept tossing in agility obstacles for fun, so she took an agility class, which she and her dog found much more interesting, and started participating in K9 kup. After her husky earned her obedience title, she switched entirely over to agility, and has never looked back. She loves to compete (for fun) and introduce people to the sport of agility, paying back the low prices the club charges which meant she could afford to stay in the sport. She says her dog changed her life direction 180 degrees and changed her life forever, for which she will be always be thankful, along with getting to meet all the great people she has met in this sport.
