Bonnie Johnson
(Mouse over to see another picture)
Bonnie comes from a horse background and trained professionally for a number of years. She is now a teacher by day and teaches first through third grade. She wanted to give her children, Meagan and Zach, the special relationship an animal can give and searched for a fun activity they could all do together. So in the summer of 1999, they started taking agility lessons. Bonnie started out with her rescue Border Collie, Max. She is currently running her rescue Hangin' Tree Cow Dog, Beep, rescue Border Collie Poppet and rescue Jack Russel, Noodle. Bonnie has been a huge advocate for Junior Handler programs and really helped get it going here in the Pacific Northwest. Bonnie has also had some experience with herding, fly ball and barn hunts.
Zach Johnson

Zach started agility at the young age of 8 with his little Jack Russel Rosie. Zach also did all his own training! He is known for his crazy front crosses and being able to run on the fly, even without walking the course. Zach is now busy with his own family now and we love having him with us at class! He currently runs his rescue Jack Russell Nub and rescue Border Collie/Jack Russell cross Boss. Zach has had experience with fly ball, herding and barn hunts.
Meagan Reynolds

Meagan started agility when she was 10 years old with her Jack Russell Raleigh. Like Zach, Meagan also did her own training from the beginning. She learned a lot of patience from Raleigh! Meagan hopes that her children will also be interested in doing agility when they are older, since it taught her so many esencial life skills. Meagan is currently competing with her rescue Border Collie Zipper and Border Collie Dodge. Meagan has had some experience with herding.
Maddy

Maddy is Meagan's daughter and quite the little trainer already at three years old! She loves to play with any dog that will follow her. She someday hopes to compete with her rescue Mini Aussie Chevy. We're hoping she can make her Junior Handler debut soon with one of the more experienced dogs!
William

William is Meagan's son. He enjoys playing in the dirt, climbing the equipment himself, playing fetch with the dogs and just being a boy!
