Karen began participating in dog agility in 1992 when she started training her Chow/Sheltie mix, Simon.  She loves training dogs of all motivation levels.  Her success with many breeds demonstrates her effectiveness.  She believes that all dogs can be taught to run to their full potential and agility should be a team sport and fun for the dog at all times.  She believes the most important aspects of agility training are teaching the fundamentals and being consistent with your handling at all times.

Karen currently owns 5 dogs (two Shelties and three Border Collies).  She teaches private/group lessons and classes in Brandon, Florida. She also travels the United States, as well as Puerto Rico, Bermuda, Mexico and Costa Rica, giving seminars.
