An Awesome Experience
by Tess Bischoping

My name is Tess Bischoping and I am a junior handler.  I’ve thoroughly enjoyed training my two dogs (Torrie and Tiki) for AKC agility events.  I spend about seven or eight hours of training each week to succeed in these events and as you can see it has paid off.  I have a full agility course set up on our property.  Most of my obstacles are handmade out of PVC pipe and wood.  Once a week I also go to my trainer Sue Fleig who works with obedience and agility with her three dogs.  I have been doing agility for over a year and with one of my dogs I have earned my Jumpers with Weaves title in AKC.  I have had an awesome experience with training and participating in agility with the American Kennel Club; hopefully you will or do too!
