Terry Jacobus
Owner & Head Trainer

Terry Jacobus is owned by three shelties.
Having had prior shelties, she looked forward to taking these
three everywhere she went, as she did her others.
It was when she brought home a puppy with behavioral problems
that it all changed.

    Rambo (Shades of Rapscallion AX, AXJ, NF, CGC) put Terry on the path
to working with fearful, anxious dogs. Upon attending a working seminar presented by Behaviorist Brenda Aloff she learned
that Rambo was not hard wired correctly and would require extensive work and a life long commitment to helping him feel safe.
She took on that commitment and made the two hour drive to Midland, Michigan every month for three years to work privately with Brenda.
Terry set out to learn as much as she could to give Rambo a comfortable life.

Rambo has been a working dog at numerous seminars and now works
as a demo dog for various classes. He competes in agility and has titles
in both AKC and CPE. Rambo has also earned a Canine Good Citizen (CGC).

      Terry, a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, has attended numerous seminars on aggression and training,
plus the 2008 APDT five-day conference in Louisville, Kentucky.
She continues to educate herself about behavior problems.

Terry holds classes for basic obedience/manners
and foundation/management classes for reactive dogs.

Agility Synergy LLC with Debbie Harrison
Trainer

Debbie entered the world of agility back in 1992 with her first Dalmatian, "Autumn". Since then she has loved, trained and trialed another Dalmatian, two Jack/Parson Russell Terriers and three Border Collies in AKC, CKC, UKC, NADAC, USDAA, and CPE agility (to multiple MACH 2 to 4's, AG.MX's, UACHX's, NATCH's, CATCH's, etc.), AKC/CKC/UKC obedience (CDX's), flyball (FDGCH's), earthdog (ME - Master Earthdog), conformation (AKC/UKC Ch's), road trialing, etc. for a total of over 300 (and growing) titles.
Actually, her Dalmatian, "Dallas," and Parson/Jack Russell, "Houston" are each the most titled dogs in the history of their respective breeds
with over 100 titles each.

Debbie obviously enjoys training dogs in multiple disciplines all
with enthusiasm, drive, understanding, clarification, motivation and FUN!!
She enjoys working with all breeds/types of dogs and analyzing the training methods/techniques that benefit each dog, handler and dog/handler team. Debbie has attended numerous Clean Run Agility Camps and trained/studied agility with Linda Mecklenburg, Nancy Gyes, Ann Braue, Karen Holik, Julie Daniels, Stacy Peardot Goudy, Stuart Mah and Pati Hatfield Mah, Jen Pinder, Wendy Pape, Dana Pike, Steve Frick, Webb Anderson and Jeff & Chris Bolton (from England), and continues to stay updated on the latest training methods and techniques that could benefit her students and their canine partners. Debbie has also been invited and had attended the AKC World Agility Team practices the last 3 years - which represent the highest level of agility "think tank" on techniques, maneuvers and analysis available. Debbie has also studied with Patricia Whalen Scott, Maria Duthie and Debbie Gross Saunders to explore the advantages and effect of canine massage, balance and core strengthening on agility training and performance.

Debbie is a certified Agility Instructor from Julie Daniels'
White Mountain Agility School.
