Donna Magness found her passion for dog training when she began taking Maddie, her Bouvier des Flandres, to agility classes after Maddie showed interest in agility equipment during an obedience class. Maddie and Donna now compete in AKC agility at the Masters Level. Donna grew up with horses, basset hounds, and ducks, which encouraged her love of animals. She rescued two greyhounds, who have since passed on, before she got Maddie and now, in addition to Maddie, owns seventeen chickens; two English Bulldogs, named Bonnie and Clyde; and Penn Vet Working Dog Center graduate, a yellow Labrador Retriever named Jake, who she competes with in AKC Agility.
