Stuart Mah has been one of the nation's leading and innovative agility personalities for almost two decades. He is also considered one of the foremost authorities on course design and course analysis. Stuart has been an 8-time member of USA international agility teams and has won 4 national championships.

Stuart not only excels at competing with his own dogs but is also brilliant at teaching others how to reach their agility goals. Stuart works with all breeds of dogs with special emphasis placed on customizing the help for each individual dog and handler. Stuart's training programs offer the opportunity for handlers to learn why their dogs do what they do and how to easily train them for better results.  This opportunity affords the handler a more thorough knowledge of agility training than just obstacle performance and handling alone.  The attendees learn that how a dog gets to an obstacle is just as important as doing the obstacle. In addition, Stuart focuses on teaching the dog to use his body effectively for better performance and minimizing injury.

Whether you're a local competitor or you wish to be world class,

a Stuart Mah seminar will help you be a better trainer as well as a better handler.
