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!
