My name is Barbara Rozman and I live in Slovenia. I have been an active agility competitor since 2005, first with my beagle Xsara and later with pyrenean shepherds Tani, Impi and Momo. I have been a member of Slovenian team for EO with all of my dogs except for Impy who came to live with us just before corona as a mature dog already. In 2013 Tani and I also qualified for AWC in South Africa (but didn't attend the event).

 

I regularly give agility classes and seminars in English, Slovenian and Italian. In 2020 I also became an FCI agility judge. I have been a Team Leader Assistant for Slovenia for several EO, JOAWC and AWC events and am a member of Slovenian Agility Commission. I really enjoy training dogs and I use exclusively positive reinforcement in all of my training. Training without punishment requires a lot of time, but hey, spending time with my dogs is my favourite thing so what could be more fun than that?

 

Apart from agility, my dogs also do a lot of tricks. I also wrote a book about tricks in Slovenian language. Learning new things is a part of our daily life. We also enjoy filming commercials, swimming, hiking and playing together.

 

I have been lucky enough to learn from some of the best agility competitors in the World. I like learning new things just as much as my dogs do, so I guess we make a perfect team.
