Agility

"Aleks Woodroffe (Bsc, CTMT, ACMT) is a Canine Bodyworker and full-time Scent Work trainer in Phoenix, AZ. She currently competes with her Flat-Coated Retriever, Georges, and her English Cocker Spaniel, Vespa. She has achieved top placements in all levels of NACSW and AKC Scent Work. When not competing or teaching, she is also an active AKC Scent Work Judge, ASCA Scent Detection Judge, and NACSW Certifying Official and Judge. Her students train in person, at seminars, as well as online (Fenzi Dog Sports Academy, Scent Work University, Release Canine classes or private lessons) and have achieved joy and success in all levels of multiple different scent organizations. She also hosts a podcast with Jill Kovacevich called "K9 Scent Fix". 

She received her Canine Massage Therapist Certification in 2016 (RMSAAM) after her agility dog was diagnosed with a psoas injury, and she was unable to find a canine massage practitioner in her area. After working to remedy or maintain muscle health, she also became a Certified Professional Canine Fitness Trainer (CPCFT 2023) to better support her clients' training plans to help prevent and avoid injury.
Aleks has worked with many local and nationally competitive teams in a wide range of sports. She has also worked as a key member in a veterinarian-led team to help some amazing dogs rehabilitate from major injuries and return to competition in the national and international rings. She has had experience working with dogs that compete in agility, schutzhund/IGP, dock diving, conformation, field trials, nose work, obedience, and tracking, as well as with professional working detection dogs.

Aleks' perspective in how she works with her students looks at the whole picture. A team's success may start with skills learned, but performance needs to include health, fitness, and mental confidence & clarity."
