About 
Teresa and Elphie competed in Australia's Inaugural NW2 trial on 4th Nov 2018 and were awarded
​ HIGH IN TRIAL (1st place overall). 
Placing 1st in containers and 2nd in Interiors and attaining their NW2 title.
Teresa has a diploma in 
​ Small Animal ​Hydrotherapy(UK) and enjoys her work helping dogs recover from injury or just improving their quality of life through hydrotherapy treatment

Teresa has been involved in many different activities with her dogs for more than thirty years as both a competitor and an instructor. In that time she competed very successfully in the Conformation ring and in a number of different dog sports including Obedience, Rally-O, Tracking, Agility, ANKC Sheep and Duck herding and Three Sheep Trials.
Most recently she has become involved in one of the newest dog sports, K9 Nose Work®.

Teresa started K9 Nose Work® in 2015 with her youngest Border Collie, Elphie, when she was 18 mths old. She enjoyed it so much she also started her then ten year old recently retired agility dog, Max in 2015. In 2019 she started training the newest member of the team, Artie, who gained his Birch ORT in 2020.

In October 2018, Teresa finished her instructors training and is now a Certified Nose Work Instructor (CNWI)
