MEET YOUR AGILITY INSTRUCTORS

Hannah Smith

Dogs are my life; agility is my passion! I am an approved AKC ACT, CGC, Trick Dog, and ATT Evaluator. I’ve competed regionally and nationally with multiple dogs, earning titles in CPE, UKC, AKC, USDAA, UKI and UpDog. At 10 years old I started my agility journey with my first two dogs, Jive and Juke. Jive went on to place 6th overall at the 2016 CPE Nationals and is still the only GWP to earn a CPE CS-ATCH. Jillaroo, my recently retired cattle dog is a 7x agility champion, multi-regional champion and national finalist, and 2023 USDAA National Bronze Medalist. Capture my working kelpie just started her career, and I am very excited for our future together! She earned her first UKI Master Series Bye and qualified for 2025 USDAA Nationals at just 2.5 years. Outside of teaching I’ve also worked for Clip and Go Agility since 2017, and I have 14+ years of experience working in veterinary medicine. Handling a variety of dogs over the years has really helped me to understand different breed personalities and traits. I have a special interest in performance dog problem behaviors, and I firmly believe there is no “one size fits all” approach to dog training. I look forward to working with you and your pup.

I have been training and competing in agility since 2012. I grew up training pointers and got my first true agility dog in 2010, an Australian Shepherd named Sky. Sky went on to achieve many titles and compete at various regional and national events. He passed on invaluable years of wisdom and experience. I am currently competing with Blitz, a border collie who has earned his MACH, stood on regional and national podiums and ran national final rounds. Agility is my passion and the partnership and bond with the dog is what drives me. It inspires me to help others achieve their goals, whether it's running a course for the first time or earning that first title. My training is centered around a strong partnership with the understanding that every dog is different and "there is more than one road to the podium!"
