Jenn Schielke
What you can find me teaching:
Agility, Puppy Gymnastics
I grew up on a hobby farm in Central Alberta & had a love for animals at a very young age. I had everything from pheasants & quail to pigs & horses; we even fostered a fox kit for a while.
I began dog sports after I got my second Miniature Dachshund in 2007. I started with puppy agility and added on skills like flyball and distance. I was invited to apprentice with the SuperDogs performance team in 2008, and the rest is history so they say! Today, I have traveled across North America performing with my 6 dogs; we are always working on enhancing old skills and learning new ones. I aspire to one day earn a spot (or 3) on an International Agility team, with my Sighthounds, to represent Team Canada.
