Flashing Canines is pleased to have World Team Member Stephan Henry coming November 23rd and 24th
Bio for
Stephan Henry
I started
playing agility in 1998 with my first Golden Retriever, Chopin. I have
participated in every AAC National event and been on the podium at each of them
since the first one in 2001.
I believe in
a positive approach to dog training and that the relation between the handler
and his dog should be one of mutual trust and respect. I have been teaching dog
agility since 2001. I have taught all levels of agility to different breeds of
dogs to handlers of different levels of ability. I truly believe that
foundation work is the key to success in any venue but especially in a fast dog
sport as agility.
Over the
years I have celebrated many successes with multiple dogs. Most recently I have
earned spots with Team Canada at two different World Championships with two
different dogs of two different breeds at two different jump heights.
