About Us

Stuart Carter

Stuart started agility training over 30 years ago with his Boxer dog who taught him a great deal, including a bit of humility! Over the years Stuart has enjoyed considerable UK and international success with his Border Collies, representing Great Britain in international competition and winning Bronze, Silver and Gold medals. He has competed at Crufts and Olympia many times; his Border Collie Storm (Ag Ch Kapia Konquest) became the second ever Agility Champion in the UK.
Stuart has been instructing Agility for over 20 years. He continues to compete with Storm's grandson Jura ('J') but nowadays takes just as much - or perhaps even more - enjoyment from celebrating the successes of his students.

Emma Jackson

Stuart is assisted by Emma who started training dogs 35 years ago, competing in obedience with her first Border Collie. Since then Emma has owned and trained a wide variety of dogs including a Great Dane, Border Collies, Working Cocker Spaniels and a tiny terrier crossbreed. She started agility training 15 years ago and enjoyed success taking her Working Cocker Spaniel to KC Grade 7 and UKA Championship. She is currently competing with her young Border Collie Hoozy (another of Storm's grandsons) and has already competed at the UKA Grand Finals two years running.
Emma enjoys broadening her dog training skills and knowledge and frequently attends training camps, enabling her to bring back new ideas to share with members of TDTC.
