The next set of classes begin soon. You may be able to drop in on an ongoing class. Check first for that option. Go to the Classes page for information. Some dates and start times have changed as of 4-20-12.

You can also find me on facebook under Mary Hunter. And I have a Dogsaflying You Tube channel that includes video including Dani's AKC Agility Nationals runs.

Dani and I competed in AKC Agility Nationals in Reno NV on March 29-April 1, 2012. Idaho had 20 competitors this year and all did awesome. Dani finished #25 in the 20 inch jump height with 237 competitors. I was so thrilled.

I am also pleased to report that I completed the Karen Pryor Academy Dog Training Program on April 15, 2012. This was an excellent 6-month adventure in training dogs.

Private lessons are always available to help you and your dog develop skills and a tighter bond.

Open Agility Practices are typically held on Sundays mornings when the yard is available. Contact me if you would like to join us. Cost is $5 per dog. I will send out an email announcing practices. Let me know if you want to be on my email list.

Here is my newest pup, Nick, Flying Quick Nick du Volant. He heralds from top agility and herding lines. I picked him up on May 24th at 8 weeks of age. He went from this charming puppy to this handsome guy at 8 months of age. Nick is a wonderful dog and I am looking forward to great times ahead. He is now a year old, measures 25-26 inches tall, and weighs 61 pounds.

Here's Dusty, Muligan, Katie, Shadow, Dani, and Rosie at their spring 2010 birthday party in May.

To learn a little about what Mary learned in 2008, click here, and in 2007, click here. Yes, I have learned more since then but just haven't had time to write it up pretty.

For a little poem from the dog's perspective, click here. This is something I found on an email list that I thought was especially nice.

The training facility is located on one grassy acre in Eagle Idaho. The completely fenced outside agility ring includes all agility equipment meeting American Kennel Club standards. There is ample parking and easy access.

Trainer, Mary Hunter, has put titles on her three Belgian Shepherds, and has been teaching agility since 1999. Katie made it to the top rankings Belgian Sheepdogs in AKC; #1 ranked in 2003, #2 in 2004 and #1 for lifetime achievement, #3 in 2005. Katie also won the Top Belgian Sheepdog at AKC’s first Agility Invitational in December 2006 and was also 20th finisher in over 100 dogs in the 24 inch jump height at the Invitational. Katie accomplished her success at the Invitational at the age of 8 after being essentially retired from agility for a year. Dani started competing in agility in March 2006 and finished her MACH title in July 2010. She finished 2008 in 12th place for Tervurens in AKC agility ranked by points. In 2009, 2010, and 2011, Dani qualified for AKC Nationals. Rosie earned her novice and open AKC obedience and agility titles.

Mary works with many to help their dogs be better family pets and companions. In addition, Mary works with reactive dogs, (dogs that over-react to dogs or people primarily), and students have been very pleased with the improvements their dogs are now capable of achieving.

Mary strives to provide foundation agility skills while teaching her students to be the best dog trainers possible so they can move confidently into a bright future with their beloved dog and partner.
