Desert Sage Agility

My dog is reactive towards other dogs however agility is her passion and Annette was the only trainer who saw what potential she had and made special arrangements for us to join her classes safely. Now we are participating in group classes and her reactivity is getting better! Annette is amazing and observant! Especially for those small details that are holding you and your dog back from achieving your training goals. She also genuinely cares and really roots for each of her students, especially when they are competing! So if you are looking to join an awesome Agility or rally or obedience family then Desert Sage is for you!

I have never experienced a better trainer than Annette in agility , obedience and rally. I have been running agility for several years in California before moving to Central Oregon. She’s professional, caring, puts the safety and happiness of the dog as a priority and has an excellent knowledge of dog behavior. Her foundation classes give you the skills to progress in your training if your desire is to eventually compete or just have fun with your dog, it’s all there. Training both dog and human requires patience and skill, the ability to communicate on different levels, Annette and Desert Sage is the very best!

My miniature Dachshund (Finley) and I have been doing agility with Annette at Desert Sage Agility for several years now and I can’t recommend her enough! Finley isn’t your typical agility breed but she absolutely loves it, and I credit that to the environment Annette has created. She has such a profound understanding of dogs, and coaches each owner individually based on their dog’s unique personality and comfort level, as opposed to a “one size fits all” coaching style. We absolutely love the classes and look forward to going each week. 💗

Desert Sage Agility is my home away from home. An awesome facility to learn agility. Annette is a phenomenal trainer whose grasp of behavioral issues allowed me to love my dog again and has turned us into a viable agility team. Her knowledge and abilities to tailor training to meet the needs of individuals and their dogs allows for growth without pressure.

If you are looking for positive training and support from a great coach, you’ve come to the right place! Annette is a fantastic coach she has such an understanding of dog behaviors and such a positive way of coaching her students! When my dog and I started training with Annette at Desert Sage Agility, I did not have a clue what agility was all about. Through a lot of laugh's, great new friends and hard work we are starting to see the light!!
