I live in MN and go to agility classes in Little Falls. All I've ever heard about is Terry Smorch. I've never gone to one of his seminars yet, but others from class have and said they learned a lot. I've seen him at a couple shows with his border collie, Remy, and he is amazing to watch. Where in MN do you live, I'd be interested in attending some seminars. I can ask my instructor top recommendations, she does a lot of judging around the country, she should have some good suggestions.
Sue I live in Otsego/Monticello, MN (We are right between the two towns). Thanks for the name I will check him out, and any others recommendations would be appreciated.
That would be great to see you at a seminar, I will forward a list of seminars once we get them lined up.
Try Ann Braue. She was on the AKC agility world team this year and, being a former school teacher, is very good at keeping students in line <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> and teaching agility and obedience.

I am taking classes at Ann Braue's facility presently, and have a private lesson scheduled with her next week for agility.
My son is taking his Corgi and I am working one of my Malinois in agility with one of her trainers (Jill) and am thoroughly enjoying it. Coming from a Schutzhund background is helping me a lot more than I would have imagined and the concepts I am learning now will only help me more with whatever avenue I care to train in the future...
I can't vouch for anything other than the quality of training I am getting from Jill(which is excellent) but after next week, I can let you know what I think of Ann as an instructor. I can only guess it will be positive. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> She sure has been nice via email with all my questions so far!
Patricia, do you train there?
**edited to add** Mike Ellis is one of the best instructors I have ever had the pleasure of working with...I highly recommend him!!!!
