Hi my name is Joanne Ryder and I quickly became addicted the sport of agility after training with Pam at Blitzen Canine Academy. I started puppy classes with my Portuguese water dog, Oscar. My breeder highly recommend Pam to me. I then continued on with the agility classes. Oscar is now 8 years old and we are still taking classes at Blitzen. Agility is a great way to bond with your dog. I started out just taking the classes for fun and never ever imagined myself competing at trials, but after deciding to just try one trial and can honestly say I became addicted to agility. I now show in AKC, UKC and CPE. Oscar also has earned the canine good citizen award. Helping train at Blitzen Canine Academy is just another way for me to truly enjoy the sport of agility and to also help others and their dogs. I truly enjoy watching dogs and their handlers excel in the sport.
