Instructor: Vicky Darnell

Biography: I have been training animals since I was a child. At the age of 7, I taught my rabbits to do agility (jumps, tunnels, and weaves). Finding great joy in playing with my pets and entertaining my family, I continued by training the family cats. An African Gray Parrot, Love Birds, neighborhood crows, two squirrels, and eventually the family dogs (a German Shepherd, Samoyed, Rottweilers, Afghan Wolfhound, and Yorkshire Terriers) rounded out my training academy. When I discovered dog sports as an adult, I found a renewed love of training. I enjoy seeing people understand how to communicate and build a meaningful relationship with their dogs.
