Paula Goss
Level 3 Trainer
Paula has been involved in competitive agility for over 25 years. She started competing in the early 1990’s, and she has been teaching agility since 2000. Her students have handled a wide variety of dogs representing various breeds, sizes, and ages. Many of her students have gone on to win and/or place at the National levels of AKC, NADAC, and USDAA as well as at their breed specialties.
Paula has had great success with her own dogs. Her Labrador Retriever, Emily, led her to the sport of agility; since then, she has been owned by six border collies: Tory, Split, Trae, Tessie, Cade, and the newest addition to the family, Kellan. Excluding young Kellan, all her dogs have achieved TOP 10 yearly placements in NADAC over the years; multiple NATCH’s and V-NATCH’s; numerous Speedstar Awards; and have cumulatively won the NADAC Championships 8 times. In addition, Trae earned his MODSQUAD Award in 2009. Kellan has just begun competing in agility and, based on his early performances, will certainly follow in the pawprints of the family.
