Anna Pool is one of our Rally class instructors. She competes in agility, barn hunt, rally and obedience with her German Shepherds and Standard Poodle and has earned multiple titles in those venues. She truly believes that owners can learn to better communicate with their pets through training and deepen the bond they have with their dogs. Anna says that the most fulfilling part about working with dogs is watching them make a breakthrough when learning. She gets a lot of satisfaction helping pets and their people.
