Nicole LeBlanc, CPDT-KA  Certified Trainer and Agility Instructor

Nicole co-ordinates and teaches all DOGSmart Agility Programs 

Nicole has been instructing Agility at DOGSmart Training since 2004.  
She began competing in agility in 1998 with rescued 4 year old husky/border collie mix Teeka (CGC, SADC, VAADC, VMSDC) who retired at master’s level in 2004.  Sadly, Teeka passed away in September 2007 at the age of 13.  Nicole continued to compete in agility with her dog Sydney, a toy fox terrier, in 2002-2003 when he retired at advanced/masters level due to health concerns (not agility related).

Nicole currently shares her life with Sydney (ADC), Murphy Brown, jack russell terrier (CGC, earthdog extraordinaire!), and Kohl, a rescue belgian gronendael in training.
