Bill Cory
William (Bill) Cory coordinates the Advanced/Open agility class at K9Xpress. Bill has been active in agility training since 2002 with his two exceptional Border Collies Jasmine and Dixie. Their training has come from the master teachers at K9X who have generously shared their talents. Seminars and vocal feedback from his dog have rounded out Bill’s training. They have been awarded three Championships consisting of two NATCHs from NADAC and one MACH from AKC. His teaching techniques are based on positive feedback and his classes encourage interchange of ideas from class participants. The frequently spoken phrase “have fun with your dog” is a guiding principle.

Jan Daley
Jan Daley started agility training around 1998 at the suggestion of a pet dog obedience instructor. Her first dog, Mocha, was doing 3 ft vertical jumps from a standstill and the instructor declared, “That dog needs agility.” Jan said, “Agili-what?” And thus began her dive into dog sports.
Jan primarily competes in NADAC and USDAA, but has dabbled in UKI. Her reason for training is to build the bond and trust with her dogs. “All the time, sweat, and tears spent training are worth it when you and your partner come together as a team,” she says. Jan loves watching the novice dogs in competition. “It’s exciting to see the dog gain confidence and to see the teams come together at this stage.”
Jan currently teaches Level 4: Intermediate.

Danielle Madrid
Danielle has been training in agility since 2007 when she started with her first agility dog, Anja, a sheltieX. Anja went on to earn championships in NADAC and USDAA agility. She is now almost 13, but still competes occasionally! Danielle is currently training/competing in USDAA & UKI with Wren, a four year old border collie, and Kaladin, a 1.5 year old saluki. Danielle especially loves training with beginner teams and watching the “baby” dogs figure out how much fun they can have!
Danielle teaches Beginner classes and the Level 3: Novice class.

Peg MacCallum
Peg teaches the Level 2: Foundation Skills class.

Dominique Stafford
Dominique has been a dog lover since she was very small. Having finally gotten a dog of her very own she insisted on taking all the training there was to offer, including a puppy agility class.
After that class she was curious to try more and took a beginner class in 2010 with the Travis Agility Group. She was hooked and adopted her border collie/dachshund mix, Gigi, in 2011. As many of us say about our own dogs, Gigi taught Dominique everything she knows. Dominique now also has a Border Collie, Vin, and a new Border Collie puppy, Wit.
Dominique started to learn how to teach agility at K9X by shadowing Lori Fennell and Joy Mercier, following them around and asking questions about how dogs learn and how to teach agility. Currently Dominique leads our games night; in the past she has taught “Level 1: Beginner Agility” and “Level 2: Foundation Skills”.
Dominique currently competes mainly in USDAA in the Masters ring with Gigi and in the Starters/Advanced ring with Vin. When not competing or training, she continues to receive formal agility training through classes at HOT Dog Sports and seminars.

Kim Galusha
Kim has been training dogs since 1978. She competed in obedience until she saw an agility demo at a local park and quickly gave up competitive obedience for the exciting sport of dog agility. She competed in her first agility trial with her Doberman, Rhetta, in 1994. She has agility trained and competed with 9 of her own dogs – Rosa, Rhetta, Wichita, Ezri, Pogo, Trixi, Stella, Lupe and Stormy – ranging from 8 pounds to 60 pounds.
Kim competes in three agility groups (USDAA, NADAC, UKI) and has competed in the NADAC National Championships 4 times. Her chihuahua, Lupe, placed in USDAA Top Ten in 2019. Lupe took Third Place in the mini category at NADAC Championships in 2019 and took First Place in 2021. Stormy finished Third Place in the 2021 NADAC Championships. Pogo was the highest scoring versatility dog with ZERO faults at NADAC National Championships in 2009. Pogo and Lupe are both in the NADAC Agility Hall of Fame. She and her dogs also compete in flyball.

Lauren Goldberg
Lauren started in agility with her blue heeler, Truco, in 2010. She has competed in NADAC, AKC and USDAA venues. At the time of his retirement, Truco had earned many titles in each venue, including all his favorite activities – NADAC TNS-E (tunneling), AKC OAJ (jumping) and USDAA SPG (gambling).
Lauren is currently working with her red heeler, Mojo, working to overcome his reactivity through positive training, relaxation and confidence-building techniques. “Baby” Ziva is attending “Level 4: Open” at K9X and classes at HOT Dog Sports.
As the instructor for the “Level 3: Novice” for about 5 years, Lauren encouraged students to improve the timing and frequency of their reinforcements, to not ‘fix’ every mistake, and to communicate precise and timely information to their dog. She has also taught beginner and intermediate level classes.
Lauren has participated in other dog sports training and competitions (including nosework and tracking) and dog events including Barkitecture, the Mighty Texas Dog Walk and Barks for Beers.
