Michele Smith

I have lived in Orange Park Acres for 22 years. Included in my family are 2 horses and 5 dogs... Benzsen, 10 yr old Blue Australian Cattle Dog (my first agility dog), Simon, 9 yr old Australian Cattle dog / Aussie cross, Summer, 6yr old Minature Australian Shepherd (Excellent B) agility dog, Abby, mini Aussie rescue (Excellent A) agility dog, and Tango, my newest member, 18 months old and starting agility.

I got involved with Agility after I retired my horse from Foxhunting and competing in Cross Country races. This was the closest thing to challenge me and my dog as a team. I started doing Obedience with my first Australian Cattle dog, but discovered he needed a bigger and more exciting job. So I tested the waters in Agility and never left!

I've been competing in Agility now for 9 years and love every minute. A sport you can do from young to very old with your four legged friends.

Michele teaches our Agility classes at our new Agility Field located in Orange Park Acres.

Michele also teaches our new Puppy Manners class and conducts Private Lessons in both Puppy
Manners and Agility.
