Mary
Ann Nester set up Aslan Dog Training Club
in 1997 in honour of her first agility dog - a lurcher
named Aslan.
Mary
Ann Nester
was born in the USA and came to Britain in 1972 as a
student. In 1997
she set up Aslan Dog Training Club, named after her
Lurcher and first
agility dog. She is a
member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers as well as
a SAQ®
trainer (licence 30800) and accredited trainer in
the
DAQ® method
Mary Ann's most
successful agility dogs have been miniature poodles.
Brillo Pad
competed in the Agility Draw Challenge on
“National
Lottery Live!” winning Mary Ann the
privilege of pushing the button that released the
evening's lottery
balls in front of millions of television viewers. None
of her friends
had a winning ticket but it was good PR for poodles. In
addition,
Brillo and Daz have both been finalists at Olympia and
Crufts and have
competed at international level. Brillo represented
Great Britain at
the World Agility Championships in Portugal 2001 and Daz
in Germany
2002 and France 2003.
Committed to promoting canine sports,
Mary Ann accepts judging appointments in agility
and heelwork to music throughout the year and is an
official measurer of agility dogs for the Kennel
Club. She has had fun combining training dogs
with a writing career. The publication of her first
book, "Agility Dog Training"is one of her proudest
landmark moments!
