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 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'."
