"About Us"
John truly portrays what agility is all about........fun, play, proper training, dedication and a true love of the dogs and the sport. He has been competing in Canada and the United States for the past ten years and teaching agility for almost as long.
The sport is constantly changing with improvements to how we train and how we run. With this in mind, John is also a student, attending work shops and seminars from some of the best instructors in agility. He passes this knowledge on to his students through seminars and classes.
He, his wife Lorna, and their border collies , live in Halifax, Nova Scotia where they train and run their dogs.
Adina has been competing in agility since 2003. She enjoys working with challenging dogs and breeds that aren't typically seen in the world of dog sports. Currently she competes with her Chihuahua and deaf Border Collie x and holds Masters titles with her retired Pit Bull mix. Adina brings an extensive background in behavior modification and obedience training to the True North team. To see a full bio, please visit her site www.k9coach.ca.

"About Seminars"
Our Introductory Seminar is designed to introduce our system of handling/training to participants. This seminar is fundamental in our instruction here at True North and is a pre-requisite to all other seminars and classes.
It is repeated several times a year. Please check with us for the next available one. It is limited to eight "working" participants and an unlimited number of auditors.
To be eligible for a "working" spot, the dog must have a reliable "sit-stay", a "recall" and both toy and food "drive". It also must be familiar with all agility equipment.
Auditors need not have any prior agility experience.
