About Jennifer
Jennifer Crank began training and showing dogs at the age of five. At seven, she earned her first agility title with the family sheltie. In 1993 Jenn got her first sheltie Skittles, and earned her first MACH.
Since that time, Jenn's dedicated partnerships with her dogs have taken them to the highest levels of competition. Jenn and her sheltie Guess represented the U.S. at the Agility World Championships in 2004, 2006 and 2007, earning the individual silver medal in 2006 and individual bronze medal in 2007. Jenn and Guess also have numerous placements at AKC and USDAA national championships to their credit.

She uses the Awesome Paws Handling System as a basis for her instruction and training, and stays current on developments in the system through regular private lessons, seminars, and camps.
Jenn graduated from the Ohio State University with a bachelor's degree in Business in December 2009. She offers agility instruction in group classes, private lessons, seminars (often co-taught with Susan Crank), and video consulting through IncrediPAWS Dog Training.
