Adina MacRae first studied animal learning and behaviour when she earned a Psychology degree at Dalhousie University. After completing her Bachelor of Public Relations at MSVU, she adopted her first dog "Buddy," a Boxer/Pit Bull mix from the Bide Awhile Shelter (www.bideawhile.org) and got a crash course in dog behaviour.

After becoming involved in Flyball, Adina apprenticed with Lietash Canine Academy and instructed the Lietash Agility programs from 2004 - 2010. Once she had plenty of hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds and personality types, Adina started Dogs on the Go, a dog walking and pet care service in 2003 and spent a year and a half performing temperament evaluations for the Metro SPCA.

Adina specializes in toy breeds, dog reactivity and on-leash aggression.

Adina's passion and favourite pastime is agility, she holds multiple titles on her dogs. Adina competes in AAC Agility events, CKC COnformation and is looking forward to trying her hand at CDDA Disc Dog and CKC obedience in 2012.

Her first and now retired "Buddy" agility partner has earned the Agility Association of Canada (AAC) - MAD, MJD, MSD titles. Adina's second and most titled partner is "Sachel," a (rescued) Chihuahua, who has earned the AAC - MAD, MJD, MSD titles and is a three time 1st place qualifier for the 10" Division at AAC NS/NL Regionals in 2008, 2009 and 2010! Adina also competes with "Seven" a (rescued deaf) Border Collie mix and are now working their way through the AAC's Masters division. Adina is currently in training with her fourth partner and first purebred pooch to join the MacRae clan, Norjon-Kinobi's Love To Curl or "Lovie" as she is known to family and friends is a Borzoi.  A special thank-you to Rebecca Peters-Campbell (www.kinobiborzoi.net) for picking this little girl for us and a very special thank-you to Norma Reid (Norjon Borzoi) for entrusting us with this incredible puppy.
