About Annette Alfonso. I am lucky to say Annette was my trainer in south Florida for many years. She is still my go to person whenever I need help with my dogs. Since I first started working with Annette, she has become one of the most sought after instructors and seminar presenters around. Annette is now the Head Coach of the USA European Open Team. She competes in multiple organizations in the US and has competed and medaled in numerous trials across Europe and South America.
If I had to choose the one thing I love best about working with Annette, it would be her amazing ability to take each dog/handler team with the training they have in the moment and find a way to make something work while offering suggestions for things to potentially train for the future. That is a very rare talent. Annette is very creative and is NOT a one size fits all type of trainer/instructor. You can't run well? No problem, let's try this.... You like to run, ok, great, let's do it like that.... Annette doesn't care if you're 8 or 80, or anywhere in between, you and your dog will get the same time and attention she gives to her team members when you work with her.
Additionally, over the years, Annette's dogs have performed in a number of television shows, movies, advertising work, and Purina shows. So she is not just a great agility instructor but also a terrific dog trainer.
