My name is JuliAnna. I have been training and competing with dogs since I was 14 years old. It began with Hype, my all-American, who cleared our 6-foot chain link fence right into my own backyard. Apparently, she knew that, somehow, I was the one who would change her life. What she did not know was that she was the one who would change mine. After endless days of destruction of home furnishings and tornado disasters of rooms, Hype and I began to attend dog-training classes. Through the Columbia Basin Dog Training Club, we get hooked into agility and have not stopped since.

 

As my passion for agility and training dogs grew, I saved up and got my first border collie, Threat. She began a whole new adventure for me. Through her, I have learned so much more about training dogs as she is completely opposite from Hype. 

​

With Threat having been diagnosed with Intermittent Exotropia Strabismus and my desire to still tryout for world team, I jumped on the opportunity to take Fusion into my life. She has proven to be everything I could have ever dreamed of in a Border Collie and more. At the West Coast Open, Fusion and I earned our first ever world team spot on the World Agility Open team! 

​

My girls have led me to agility accomplishments that I never thought I would experience. Here is a list of some of those opportunities they have shared with me:

​

My passion for both training dogs and competing in agility has led me to yet another wonderful opportunity and privilege: Sharing my knowledge and experience with others to help them grow and succeed in whatever journeys they wish to take on with their own dogs. We especially enjoy helping people realize and reach their potential with their partner in this incredibly fun game!
