Jennifer has won every major agility competition in the United States, including the AKC National Agility Championship, the Masters Agility Championship at Westminster, USDAA Cynosport’s Grand Prix, Cynosport’s Steeplechase, Cynosport’s Biathlon, and UKI’s U.S. Open Masters Heats. Internationally, she is the only American to earn 3 different overall individual medals at the FCI Agility World Championship.
As an instructor, she has been teaching agility for almost twenty years. She loves it when her students do well in the ring but the most rewarding part of teaching for Jennifer are the shared moments of insight on the training field—those “light bulb” moments where the handler and dog figure something out.

Training young sheepdogs: Interview with Joni Tietjen
Training a young sheepdog is hard, especially to train them to listen but still keep that natural feel and be able to think. In this episode, I get to sit down and chat with Joni Tietjen, a top trainer with a passion for starting and bringing on outstanding young stock dogs.
We talk about training with feel, using the stock to teach, the direction of trialing, and so much more! Joni was incredibly open and authentic—you'll love this interview!
