Agility Seminars with World Champion Teri O'Neill

​

 Teri O'Neill has more than twenty years of experience training and showing dogs in a multitude of events, including conformation, obedience, flyball, and agility.  Achieving early success as a National Junior Confirmation Champion, winning championships at Jack Russell trials and being a member of Alberta’s fastest flyball team for five years in NAFA.  Although Teri's primary focus and main passion is agility.

From Teri:  As one of the top agility competitors in Canada, I have had the opportunity to compete on various world teams, representing Canada at IFCS, FCI and WAO events in Europe and the USA. My proudest moment (so far) has been the 2013 World Agility Open in Spain, where my Border Collie, Tylt, placed well in all events, but overall we brought home a gold medal as 22” Biathlon World Agility Champions! Tylt and I will again represent Canada at the 2014 IFCS World Championships as well as the 2014 WAO Championships, while my up-and-coming young Shetland Sheepdog, Excel, has been named to the team as alternate in his height class.

I strive to refine a smooth handling style, which increases on-course flow and creating handling efficiency. There is quite a bit of European influence in my techniques, and this results in tight turns and maximum speed from any dog. As more North American handlers incorporate these methods, the overall result will be improved performance in Canadian agility. My goal is to share my knowledge and skills with other handlers who want to encourage the best performance possible from themselves and their dogs.
