A Complete Dog Training Center
Bonnie Simmons
Bonnie took her first obedience class in October of 1989 and was instantly hooked. Her first Sheltie, Jed, completed his UDX at seven years old. She then began Agility training with him and agility became her new passion. Bonnie moved up to the Northwest in July of 1996 and began teaching agility.
Bonnie has trained 6 dogs in obedience, herding and agility.

Also, with Blaze Bonnie placed 2nd twice at Sheltie Nationals in the 'Best All-Around' Sheltie competition. They competed in 3 venues; obedience, herding and agility. At the 2007 Sheltie Nationals Bonnie and her 16 month old Sheltie, Kaci won highest scoring Novice Dog in Agility.
On September 24, 2010 Kaci got her MACH - Master Agility Championship. On the same weekend one of Bonnie's students Darcy Woodard and her Pomeranian, Jack also received their MACH. It was a very exciting weekend, especially since it took place at Sky River Park in Monroe.
Bonnie stresses accuracy on the contacts and consistency in the weave poles, without them you can't qualify. She describes her goal as an instructor as "I want my students and their dogs to have fun and learn how to 'dance through and Agility course with their dog'." If you are looking for a positive and fun environment for Agility training Bonnie's classes are the place for you.
