About the Trainer
Jessica Fanslau: a talented
agility trainer. Draws on her 10 years of coaching with adults and
children in sports competitions to help dog owners teach their dog
the social skills needed to enjoy a full life. A longtime dog
owner, Jessica started down the path of agility training five
years ago after she acquired a 4-month-old Belgian Shepherd with
extra energy. Darby and Jessica have been training and competing
ever since. Bounce, Jessica’s other dog, a Shetland Sheepdog, just
became eligible to trail in June. Since then, Bounce has already
won several blue ribbons. These successes are a reflection of just
how effective Jessica’s hands-on, positive teaching methods are.
