I will also come to you to help you and your reactive canine with basic obedience/manners, barking, jumping, housebreaking, loose leash walking, crate training, and more. These are not your typical dog training sessions but are based in your home, on your needs and schedule. Having a well-behaved canine family member is a win for all.

I entered the agility ring in May 1998 at a USDAA trial in Granby, MA. Since then, I have trained and competed in agility (USDAA, NADAC, DOCNA, AKC, and UKI), dock diving, obedience, and flyball. After training and competing with my dogs, I was inspired to help humans and canines develop the best relationship possible. Flying High Agility & Dog Training was born in 2003 in western Massachusetts and has followed me to South Jersey; I have been helping dogs and their people overcome problem behaviors ever since. I have raised and trained 8 of my personal dogs and worked with hundreds of teams on agility, tricks, obedience, and behavior issues. I also teach privates in dog agility & pet manners, specializing in reactive dogs. I became an agility judge to promote my love for the sport. Currently, I judge for UKI. "If playing/teaching agility is the best way to spend a day, then judging it is the second best.” In the real world, I am an email marketing & social media consultant, dog trainer, and grant writer. During my free time, I'm an avid agility competitor/judge, chuck-it player, dock diving toy thrower, frisbee player, hiker, human cookie dispenser, and beach lover. I reside in Williamstown, NJ, with an Ewok named Teebo and a BC named Fly.
