Marko has practiced agility since 1994 with several dogs of different breeds.

“I’ve done agility for a long time. I’ve always enjoyed running a lot and being close to my dog. Recently I’ve started to suffer from osteoarthritis, so I’ve changed my handling style and started handling further away from the dog. I would say my handling style is very calm.”

According to Marko’s students, he is also very patient and calm as a coach. His favorite techniques to teach are the ones where you are close to the dog; for instance the Reverse Wrap and Jaakko Turn.

“The best thing about coaching is seeing people learn new tools and techniques and having those light bulb moments when things start making sense. The expressions on their faces give me immediate feedback!”
