"I have been taking classes and attending clinics with Bobbie for the past few years. Her approach to teaching agility skills and positive reinforcement for both dog and handler, has encouraged confidence in both my dogs and myself. She has helped me advance my Master agility dog, as well as my Novice dog and new puppy. Her instruction has shown me how to make sense of this agility game so that my dogs and I can truly work as a
team. More importantly, we are having fun!"

"My youngest dog is a dog that needed something to do. Dogs don't do ballet or soccer so I signed her up for beginning agility classes with Bobbie almost two years ago. We haven't stopped since. Sophie Agnes LOVES her classes. Bobbie knows how to break down the exercises so that novice handlers and dogs can participate, learn and have a great time. I don't think you'll ever see us on T.V. or even YouTube, but don't tell Sophie Agnes that!!"

"Bobbie knows her agility! I know I am getting a true representation of the whole Say Yes! training system when I train with Bobbie, from the foundation up. She has a deep understanding of the philosophy behind each move, doesn't cut corners and won't allow sloppy handling. Bobbie really spends time with each handler-dog
team, meeting them on their level. She is able to help novice dogs/handlers work through new skills by breaking them down, as well as challenge the more experienced
team to be the best they can be."

"I wanted to pay you due compliments on the Foundation Handling workshop that Leanne and I attended on April 2. I learned a number of skills that I know, if implemented correctly on my part, will become an important part to achieving the successful teamwork I hope to have with my dog. You are an exceptionally good experiential educator, and I believe you could teach mostly anything with excellence! Regardless of the subject matter, I wish everyone had the opportunity to learn in this manner. Your grasp of the system of handling fundamentals comes across easily (not that it is easy...just that you so obviously know what you teach and you practice it yourself with your on dogs), and your ability to convey it to your students is so clear and accessible. In sum, you do a really good job; you have your teaching down! I appreciate your hard work and feel fortunate to benefit from it. Thanks.
