Kristin, the owner and lead trainer, has qualified and competed in multiple national agility AND herding competitions. She is one of Utah's top competitors. She started training dogs with her first dog, a sheltie named Tika. They competed in agility and dabbled in all the dog sports. Tika was consistently one of the top dogs in her height class until her retirement; even winning the South Central USDAA regional in 2009.
Kristin's strength lies on the agility and sheepherding fields, where she competes with border collies Spy, Solo, and Pele, and her Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Nimbus. Her border collies are renown in both agility and sheepdog worlds. Kristin's team wows spectators with their speed, efficiency, and running contacts at competitions and at demonstrations such as the Soldier Hollow Classic Sheepdog Championship.
In addition to agility and herding, Kristin has trained, rehabilitated, and rescued several dogs, many of which needed behavioral modification. She has worked in a Veterinarian clinic and on a farm where she helped develop a special variety of hair sheep. Kristin earned a bachelors degree in Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences and her Masters degree in Agricultural Extension from Utah State University. She is living her dream to be the owner/operator of her own dog training facility - Versa Dog Training.
