Daisy Peel Bio from her website:

Dog agility is my life, and my passion! I got hooked on the sport in 1998, when I was still working on my Masters Degree in Math & Science Education. Teaching is also my passion! Teaching dog agility brings together my love of teaching and of helping others be the best they can be in the sport of dog agility.

I started teaching online in 2011, when I realized just how many people I could help all over the world! Several years later, The Agility Challenge was formed. Through The Agility Challenge, I've helped thousands of agility handlers from all over the world on their dog agility journey.

While I do have a long list of competitive achievements, some of my most memorable successes have come from the accomplishments of my students and Agility Challenge Members. Nothing brightens my day quite like hearing from a Member who has been helped by feedback and content in The Agility Challenge! I hope you'll join me and the rest of The Agility Challenge Contributors!

Daisy Peel is a competitive dog agility handler and is addicted to the sport and has a successful coaching business as well. A former teacher, we talk about her transition to dog sports and how she found out about Mental Management Systems. She shares a defining weekend in her journey to success in dog sports. She also shares the difference between success and winning to her. We also discuss responding vs reacting. Lastly what keeps her coming back to the sport and what solutions has she found along the way.
