About Rosanne
3 World Teams, 5 National Championships, 8 Grand Prix/PGP Finals, 3 AKC Finals, 4 Steeplechase/PSJ Finals, and many DAM/PVP Finals! 20 years of experience with multiple breeds of dogs.
Rosanne has been involved in dog agility since 1992, when she started training her flat-coated retriever. At the time, she was 10 years old, but started in Starters/Novice like all the adults, and worked her way up from there. She first made the USDAA Grand Prix Finals in 1997 at the age of 14, and made them again in 1999 (both with her flat-coat Dreamer). She also acheived an ADCH title on her first dog. Since then Rosanne has been training and running border collies. With every dog, her handling has evolved to suit both the dog and the changing sport of agility. Currently at the top of the game, Rosanne's handling is based primarily on body cues and motion, and she puts much emphasis on predicting and guiding the dog's line of travel through the course. She is known for being skilled in both front and rear crosses (and now blinds as well!), and for her dogs laying it all on the line for every single run. Rosanne has been teaching running contacts to her dogs and others since 2003, and is much-sought after for advice on training or fixing issues with running contacts.
