PDCH Gold Tile - Congratulations Maureen!

MaureenTopperTopper and I had a wonderful escape from the heat and headed to Vista, CA for some agility fun. 

We had our ups and downs in team on Saturday with our favorite teammates Karen Gloor and Squirrel. Although we were not successful, it was a fun day. 

Sunday, was a successful day as we got the last 3 qualifying runs (P3 Jumpers, P3 Gamblers and P3 Snooker) needed to earn our PDCH Gold title. In order to earn this title, you must have 35 qualifying runs in each class including a combination of tournaments. 

We also won Steeplechase and Standard. Thank you to Meagan Skelton and Scott Lovelis for fun courses this weekend and helping us achieve our title. Also, thank you to KC Cooper for the photos and great conversation.

About Us

Good Dog Agility Club is a membership of people in the Phoenix area who are active or have an interest in the sport of dog agility. We developed this site as a resource for our members and for anyone interested in agility and having fun with their dogs.

Inside you will find information about agility… from “What is it?” to “How do I get started?” We have show and class information, and news about what is going on with Good Dog. And of course, we like to brag about our dogs, so there are lots of pictures of our friends!

Because we are a club and not a professional training business, we do not have a club phone number. The contact for general information is our Secretary who can be reached in the contact section, Board Members’ contact (email) information is located in our Team Section.

Growing up, I rode horses competitively. After I started my family and my technology career, I down sized to dogs. Agility was a natural fit.

I have been competing in agility over 20 years with pure breeds and mixed breeds. I currently have 3 Labs…Cork-12 yrs, Juice-5 yrs, and Fizzy-20 mths.

I have earned multiple championships with different dogs and organizations, and have several AKC Top 25 Agility Dog breed rankings for Labs. I have competed in numerous AKC and USDAA national events with multiple Top 10 finishes and been on the podium at regional and National events. Most recently I was on the podium at the 2023 AKC National Agility Championship finals.

Agility is constantly changing so I regularly attend seminars offered by top national and international trainers to keep my skills current. 

Besides agility, my dogs and I also compete in scent work, obedience, and hunt tests. When I am not training, teaching or showing, I enjoy traveling, scuba diving, and snow skiing.

I’m addicted to training. Watching the “light bulb” moments is such a rush. As dog trainers, we are very lucky to be able to connect and communicate so intimately with a different species. When it all comes together in that one special performance, it makes all the hours of dedication worth it.

My training philosophy is to build a strong foundation in both skills and theory so no course seems too difficult or unachievable. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with GDA students to help them achieve their agility goals.
