Hi, I am Amanda and I believe the relationship you create with your dog is a special bond formed from the same fundamentals no matter the species; teamwork and trust.
I have been training and competing in the agility world since 2009, but my history of working alongside animal companions goes back decades. Growing up on a farm, I started riding horses at an early age. Riding various disciplines but ultimately had a dream of Winning a World Championship and succeeded in 2014. Through years of hard work and perseverance, My equine partner, Frosty and I, took home not one, but TWO World Championships, and a Reserve Championship at the American Paint Horse Association World Horse Show.
Istill owns and enjoys riding horses, but switched my drive to my canine partners. Today, my focus remains steady in furthering my training and agility career. My journey started in 2009 when Voodoo, a rescue American Staffordshire Terrier, joined the family. Voodoo and I entered the agility world, and never looked back. Together we were successful in earning multiple titles, awards and Top Ten placement for her breed multiple years in a row. I currently have 4 border collies of various ages,, Axel is 11 and retired, Sway and Letty are competing and recently a new little addition joined the pack.
My passion and and love of training skills with my own dogs, has not gone unnoticed by fellow peers and coaches. I strive to work hard to better myself as a student, team mate and now instructor and coach attending agility camps, seminars, and working alongside some of the top coaches and handlers not only in the United States, but worldwide.
I officially began teaching in 2016. In 2018, I became a Certified OneMind Dogs Instructor. I chose OneMind Dogs because I truly believes in the OneMind Dogs method and teaching agility from the perspective of the dog making handling easier and more natural for our dogs!

As a handler in agility I love to push myself out of my comfort zone and reach for the stars. I always want to be the best teammate for my dog in every way possible on and off the agility field.

As a handler in agility I love to push myself out of my comfort zone and reach for the stars. I always want to be the best teammate for my dog in every way possible on and off the agility field. It is an incredible journey we have with each dog and I want to have as much fun with them as I can. I love to learn, have fun, and train new things. I think every day presents us with new opportunities to learn something. The more we learn, the more knowledge we can have on and off the course.
As an instructor I enjoy working with all types of students whether it is just for fun or for competition. I love watching my students have fun with their dogs while building a relationship and becoming a team.

I am committed to providing positive training and a fun environment for my students and their dogs. I love to motivate and encourage my students to be the best they can be. It is such an awesome moment for me as an instructor when my students have that "moment" when they thought they couldn't do something and they DO IT! I enjoy teaching all levels and motivation of dogs and handlers. Agility is all about having FUN with your dog.
