Rosanne Wesemann started agility in 1992 with her Flat-coated Retriever, Dreamer. Since then she has trained and competed with an Australian Shepherd and 6 Border Collies, 3 of which (Drifter, Kiba and Strafe) competed overseas on various organizations' world teams. Strafe placed 2nd at the EO (European Open) when he was only 2 years old. She has had multiple placings and wins at national competitions as well. Drifter won the AKC's NAC (National Agility Championship) twice in a row. Her current competition dog, Kite, made the 2020 EO team, but it was cancelled due to COVID-19.
Rosanne started assisting in teaching when she was quite young, and became a USDAA judge at only 15. She now judges for UKI.
Rosanne teaches higher level students at Get Rev'd as well as private lessons and seminars for both Get Rev'd and outside clubs and schools. She also enjoys working with high level teams hoping to make world teams and helping them improve those technical skills.

Nancy Schilling has over 15 years of experience in dog training instruction, ranging from basic to advanced masters level skills. She has focused her instruction in the sport of agility for the past 10 years. The greatest influence on her agility instruction has been OneMind Dogs, an approach to handling that considers the dog’s perspective, striving to help handlers communicate in a way their dog understands naturally. Agility is always evolving, and Nancy is committed to staying on top of current training and handling practices to improve her skills and pass them along to her students. In 2017 Nancy became a OMD certified instructor and completed certifications for all handling levels and more in 2020. Nancy’s OneMind Dogs certifications can be viewed on her website: (https://app.oneminddogs.com/coaches/Nancy-Schilling) Nancy also learns from many other high level trainers from all methodologies to stay current on training and handling practices.
Nancy is passionate about sharing her agility knowledge with her students. She works with each team individually to address the needs of both the handler and the dog, enabling them to reach their potential. She particularly enjoys teaching handling techniques used within any level coursework. Her two Border Collies - Zuzu, (now retired) and Fae - are testimonials to her training skill. Zuzu has earned MACH4,
ADCH Bronze, PDCH, LAA-Bronze, and ISD, and Fae has earned her Masters titles in AKC and USDAA, and her ISC and SSS titles in UKI. Fae and Nancy are currently working towards her Championship titles. Nancy’s young BC pup is Fringe who has begun training as a future agility star. Nancy shares, “The best moments of teaching are when a student has a moment where it all comes together, when they realize what they thought they couldn't do is possible.”

Grace is the owner and founder of Hounds of Heck. She started in Agility with her Mixed Breed dog Riley, and now competes with 3 Border Collies (Finnick, Rue, and Ember). Grace’s loves getting the opportunity to travel the world and compete with her dogs!
From the Trainer:
“I strive for excellence while also keeping training sessions fun and engaging for dogs and handlers alike. If you train with me, you’ll find a heavy focus on strong foundations and precision in handling. My students leave with homework after every session, which is tailored to their equipment and space availability at home.
I subscribe to a motion based handling system, with roots in the OneMind Dogs method, but have also trained in verbal based handling systems such as H360. I don’t adhere to any one method, preferring to choose the right tools for each team.”
