Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way,and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

to take a calculated risk, and to act.

Run the course like each one is your last.
Make it a run that leaves you smiling,
if not laughing aloud for the joy of the sport.

in agility,
the love and companionship of a trusted, loyal and loving canine partner.

The more I talk to athletes, the more convinced I become that the method of training is relatively unimportant.
There are many ways to the top, and the training method you choose, is just the one that suits you best.
No, the important thingis the attitude of the athlete, the desire to get to the top.
