Cheryl has trained with some of the top agility trainers/competitors in the U.S., including Elicia Calhoun, Ali Roukas-Canova,  Paulena Rene Hope, Rosie Sutherland and Sue Tovino.  Cheryl understands that not all people are motivated to compete, thus her Introduction to Agility class is directed at introducing people and their dogs to the fun and team building that agility fosters.  She utilizes clicker training and positive motivation techniques using food and toys as rewards.  After the completion of Introduction to Agility, teams progress to more structured Beginner Agility classes with Jean Crouthamel.
