Testimonials 

 

My rescue dog Ralph and I started training at Every-buddy's quite recently, and already I'm seeing big improvements in our work together.  Ralph is very smart and needs strong leadership.  Michael and Heather are great at suggesting different approaches to tackle some of our bad habits and enhance our teamwork.  I also appreciate that we focus on detailed handling work, experimenting with different options for running a course or segment.

I also love that one of the 3 Agility venues they compete in is our agility venue -NADAC - and it's been great to get encouragement and feedback at trials.  We get to celebrate the little victories in real-time.  Ralph gives four-paws-up to Every-Buddy's Agility Fun!

Like many others before me, I advanced fairly quickly through the competitive ranks of agility before realizing that there were significant holes in my training.  It was time to take a step backwards.  I sought out Michael Bruce for his reputation as an instructor who focused on building the fundamental skills that I was lacking.  In class, Michael tells me what I really need to know, not just what I want to hear.  With his help, I’m starting to uncover and correct the mixed signals, errant timing, and inconsistencies in my handling.  I would not hesitate to recommend Michael as an instructor for agility teams at any level.

I am an 11 yr old whose Mom runs agility and I am learning a lot and having a great time!  Can't wait until my dog and I compete!  We are learning a lot from Michael and we always feel welcome at their place.  Michette loves to go and practice.  When we come down the drive, she gets real excited!!

My little “girl”, Cocoa,  is an Aussie/Kelpie/Border Collie mix and I got her to be a good buddy for my Rottie. When I saw how much energy she had, I thought we had to find something to help her expend it and that’s when I found Agility. I started taking Agility classes back in April of 2006 and was having so much fun that about 5 months into it I wanted more instruction and the training center I was in didn’t offer private lessons, which is what led me to Every–Buddy’s. After one private lesson with Michael, I realized there were some important fundamentals I was missing. Addressing these issues has really made a huge difference in our performance!

 

I like to know why things work the way they do and Michael has no problem explaining and if I don’t get it one way, he explains it in a different way until I understand. (Thank you Michael for being so patient with me and thanks to Heather being so helpful, because I have a lot of questions!) Cocoa and I have just received our first two NADAC titles: one in Novice Regular and the other in Novice Jumpers and both with first places I might add. (I’m a proud Mom!). If you want training that will enable you and your dog to work as an awesome team then Every – Buddy’s Agility Fun! is for you!
