Since 1998, Donna Rohaus has been a successful USDAA and AKC competitor and professional agility trainer. She currently teaches about 15 group classes and multiple individual lessons each week in Latrobe, PA. She teaches seminars in and around Pittsburgh and throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

She is a student of the game of agility and more importantly a student of the science of dog training. Rohaus continuously attends seminars and workshops to improve and enhance her skills. She believes all trainers should be involved in continuing education for the sport of agility, and should provide their students with the best training for their investment of time and money.

As she explains and demonstrates the foundations and fundamentals of agility to you, she also incorporates basic dog behavior training (impulse control, positive reinforcement techniques , interactive play to build trust and bonding).

Donna assists you in recognizing if your dog truly understands his “job” and how to positively reinforce the desired behavior. Examples: Does your dog know his job at the end of a contact or do you always have to “remind” him with your command or position? Does your dog weave with independent confidence or do you have to “babysit” and help him through?
