Teacher expertise and credentials

I think it's really important to challenge a dogs mind, and to keep them active. I myself am disabled with mobility problems. This limits some of the exercise I can give my dogs.   Agility is an easy thing for those with mobility problems to have fun with and to allow their dogs some one on one time, mental stimulation and exercise.  My daughter and I not only utilize the equipment ourselves, but we have made multiple sets and sell them locally.
