CALGARY CANINE CENTRE

     

    The Calgary Canine Centre Presents an Agility                     Seminar with Debi Hutchinson

                October 28 & 29, 2023

​

Debi Hutchinson has been professionally involved in dog training for over 20 years. Shortly after she began, she started a small group which would blossom into PAWZAZZ Agility. As time went by members of this group went on to compete in multiple flavors of agility at the highest levels. Prior to her canine career, she taught at the Maryland School for the Deaf as a behavioral specialist for deaf children with multi-handicaps. If you haven't been to one of Debi's seminars before, she is a fabulous instructor--very organized, an excellent communicator as well as being a superb handler. Debi is incredibly motivational, and her experience and upbeat attitude make attending one of her seminars a pleasure and an inspiration to get out there and train. Debi has competed with many canine partners over the years and those partners have been assorted breeds, temperaments and levels of trainability which has given her the understanding that there is no one formula (or flavor of agility!) that is perfect for every dog. Debi is known for her keen eye, the ability to simultaneously see both dog and handler and to be able to meet the team where they are and with wisdom and practical help, move them forward. She has been among the Top 3 contenders in several NADAC Championships, has won the 16" division at the NADAC Championships, and has had multiple dogs in the NADAC Top 10 List throughout the years.  Even more telling is that many of her students regularly appear in the Top 10 rankings for their breeds nationally and have won their divisions in both ASCA and NADAC agility championships.  Debi also teaches the skills for & competes in USDAA & AKC.
