Melissa Johnston
Instructor
Melissa’s agility journey kicked off in 2017 when she took her first class—and she’s been hooked ever since! Competing since 2018, she has trained and trialed in UKI, AKC, and NADAC, earning championship titles (IAC and CSS) in UKI with her talented Norwegian Buhund, Raven.
As a certified Predation Substitute Training Instructor (PST-CI), Melissa specializes in motivation-based, need-oriented training that helps dogs channel their natural drive into safe, structured activities—whether that’s on the agility course or out on the trails. She’s a firm believer in positive reinforcement and loves helping teams build confidence, connection, and skills to reach their training goals.
