About Matt

Though Rocky will tell you differently, Matt gets the final say in Rocky's House Calgary Dog Daycare.

I moved to Calgary in 1996 with Good ol' Murphy. Knowing no one, I gratuitously used her to meet people - starting in the many wonderful off-leash parks we have in Calgary. Murphy was a German Shepherd Dog X Australian Cattle Dog. When it came time to get Murphy a puppy, I knew that I wanted a herding breed, so I did a lot of research and a year later brought Rocky, an Australian Shepherd, home. Rocky's breeder wouldn't sell to me, though, unless I gave Rocky a job. Agility was the answer. About a year before Murphy passed away, I was pointed to a great rescue dog. I adopted him and brought him home the following Friday. I named him Friday.

That's me. I'm also an Electrical Engineer whose place of work shut its doors a couple of years ago. After 20 years working for the same company and potential employers wanting 60+ hour work weeks, I decided that I'd prefer 80+ hour work weeks in my real interest.

Here are the main points in my dog resume:

  • I'm a co-owner and instructor in the Calgary agility school, K9 Express.
  • I'm a certified Masters level judge with the Agility Association of Canada.
  • I'm an active member in the Calgary Agility Association.
  • I'm a founding member of the agility training group Training Troop.
  • I competed with Rocky in the 2002 Canadian agility Nationals (Toronto)
  • I competed with Friday in the 2004 Canadian agility Nationals (Montreal)
  • I competed with Friday in the 2005 Canadian agility Nationals (Saskatoon)
  • I've worked with geriatric dogs
  • I've worked with shy and fear aggressive dogs
  • I have way too much experience in administering medication to dogs.
