Diana and Scott Cook:

Diana and Scott met in the mid 70s while instructing for a local obedience training club. Both were instructors for several years until they started their “people” family. After their children were older, they got another dog and became active again. Diana worked in obedience for another couple of years before beginning in agility in 1998. She competes in both obedience and agility. She is a certified Agility instructor and is active presenting demonstrations involving obedience, agility, and “tricks” for local schools, libraries, humane societies, and various civic organizations.
