Ilze Rukis

Ilze loves and trains her *Dog of a Life Time* BC Zuzu, *Gotta Luv Me Regardless of What I Do* Toy Fox Terrier Fonzie, and *She’s My Girl with Potential*  BC Zip, with loving memories of her first agility dog  *Loyal Lover*Aussie Tucker. Ilze predominantly participates in NADAC because of the organization’s priorities for the dog’s safety regarding running surface, obstacles and course  design.    Ilze participates or judges in NADAC, AKC, UKC, USDAA and TDAA.   Ilze and Zuzu have participated and placed in multiple NADAC national championships and have consistently placed in NADAC’s annual Top Ten awards since 2002.                    Ilze believes that first and foremost the thing to remember in approaching the game of agility is that it is a game of “team”:  The  dog is not wrong, the handler just does not understand. :0)    Her mantra:  “Trust your dog, support your dog.”
