Meet Our New Instructor

Welcome Grace Heck!

Grace Heck aspires to help each team reach their fullest potential through a focus on solid foundational skills, understanding each dog's motivators, and an eye for precision and clarity in dog - human interactions. To accomplish this, she uses positive reinforcement based methods, and detailed explanations of the "why" behind each training scenario; Grace believes successful handlers must not only understand what to do, but also why they are doing it and how to troubleshoot. Grace subscribes to a motion based handling system with but does not adhere to any individual method, preferring to choose the right tools for each team.

Grace has been teaching and competing in Agility for 5 years, and is currently competing at the Masters level in multiple venues with her Mixed Breed Riley, and was named to the 2020 Agility y Caribbe Team USA with her Border Collie Finnick. She is also training her youngest Border Collie Rue, and her Corgi-mix Casey, and hopes to begin competing with them in 2021.

Grace will be teaching the following classes on Tuesday evenings starting July 7:
Beginner Agility at 6:30 p.m.
Contacts and Weaves at 7:45 p.m.
