About Us

We believe that all healthy dogs regardless of parentage, and their owners regardless of abilities, can have a fulfilling experience in the sports of agility, tracking and nose work at whatever level they choose.

We also offer training events (matches/sho-n-gos) to help you improve your dogs training and performance.

Terry is available for workshops and seminars covering agility or tracking. Workshops can be a full day or half day and can be geared toward beginner, intermediate or advanced students

At Nordic Myst Dog Training the goal is to provide a safe, quality education for you and your dog. This is accomplished by listening to your needs as a trainer and adjusting the teaching to you and your dog as appropriate. Our long history of experience in agility, tracking and other dog sports lends this type of versatility and flexibility to you. We believe in a blend of techniques and are willing to present different methods of training to our students. We do not train or work your dog, we train YOU to train your dog. We do not require you to compete, but those that do have a long record of successes in the various organizations that offer awards and titles.
