Here we can also learn something about Jana. Let us put here a translation from the website. We think it best describes Jana Gams.
"My cynological journey started more than ten years ago (2004 - author's note) when I saved enough money as a young girl to buy my first dog - a Westie. Since I never wanted "just a dog", I decided to learn more about dog training - and together we learned a lot of things about problem solving, got a taste of competition and the first heeling stages, and proved (mostly to ourselves) that anything can be achieved with will and effort.
My life was also connected with animals when I enrolled at the faculty - I obviously chose the profession of a veterinarian. Later on, Brie and Genie, two border collies, joined us and opened the door to all kinds of dog sports for me: agility, FCI obedience, rally, sheepdog, dogfrisbee, dogdance, canicross and more and more... - but eventually we competed only in agility and FCI obedience for several years in a row. Because I soon realized I wanted to combine my passion with my profession, and because I believe that one must never stop learning, I signed up for continuing education to become a CCRP (Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner) at the University of Tennessee - and now I want to capitalize on my knowledge and offer it to all who need and seek such services.
I like to spend active time with my dogs and my wish is to use my knowledge to enable other people to spend pleasant moments with their four-legged friends as long and as well as possible - whether on regular walks or during other activities and dog sports."
