Jane Corcoran
Agility Trainer... assessed & approved by DTAIL.org
My name is Jane and I teach a 6 week agility course with WTCI which introduces dog and handler to the basic pieces of agility equipment along with handling techniques to build towards running a course off lead. I have a Degree in Animal Science from UCD and by Christmas will have completed a Diploma in Advance Agility Training with the Companion Animal Science Institute. This is an advanced 3 year program of study in professional dog training specifically addressing agility training. In addition I am a certified canine first responder (first aid for dogs). My training methods are dog friendly, fun and force-free involving play and praise techniques to increase the dog human bond. I am the very proud owner of a Border Collie ‘Katie’ who introduced me to the world of agility when she dragged me through a tunnel when we were meant to be taking part in an obedience class-this marked the end of obedience classes for us and the start of our love of agility!!!! Agility exercises your dog’s body and mind but in addition there is often a reduction in dog’s problem behaviours as a result of coming to agility training. I look forward to working with you and introducing you and your dog to the addictive world of agility!!!
