Matt Bonner

Matt has been active in the sport of agility since the first time he saw a dog run a course, seeing agility as the "real life" obedience that many active dogs need, especially the off leash bonds that develop.

Matt has trained three dogs to the Masters level (taking all three to the Nationals). In 2009, Friday made 5th in a large category!

Matt has trained people to train dogs for a dozen years, is a Masters level judge for the Agility Association of Canada, and has judged throughout Canada. He's owner/operator of a Calgary home-based dog daycare.

He has worked with a wide variety of personal dogs, from Masters level "farm dog" Ripken (sadly missed), "Starters for Life" rescue dog Griffey (no longer!), to his highly-wired pup - Elly the Border Collie, destined to be on the Nationals podium once Darcy harnesses her explosive energy. He is now working with young rescue Tater.
