2016 Team Member Jody Lolich

Jody Lolich and her four-year-old Border Collie, Skillz, live in Melissa, Texas, where Jody is a full-time dog trainer. Jody’s been competing in dog agility for over 13 years and Skillz is the fourth dog she’s trained in agility.

Skillz lives up to his name. Because of his height, his nickname is “the Pony,” but that doesn’t stop him from turning tightly while on course. It truly is an impressive sight to see. Also impressive is the fact that this young took won a bronze medal at the 2014 Cynosport World Games Grand Prix of Dog Agility Championships!

In his free time, Skillz enjoys herding and always has a big smile on his face where he shows his teeth.

Representing Team USA in the 26″ height class, Jody and Skillz hope to make it to the podium several times to help the team in the medal count.
