Stacie Cwik
“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes, courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow.” - Anne Radmacher
Stacie found Agility in 2009 with her Norwich Terrier, Riley, as an outlet to help strengthen the bond between handler and dog. This became her newfound passion after giving up competitive horseback riding (something she had done since she was 10 years old).
Stacie quickly fell in love with the sport, and now has been training and competing for 10 years with multiple dogs in AKC, USDAA and UKI. Stacie & her dog(s) consistently attend local, regional, and national events, as well as international tryouts. Stacie currently competes with her 5 year old Border Collie named UNO. In 2018, Stacie became a UKI judge.
Stacie is highly analytical and does not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Problem solving is one of her favorite parts of dog training (and of life!), and she applies this to her philosophy for agility. She firmly believes in working with each individual team to help them be successful at their goals. She is very excited to be part of the Flint Creek Dogs family!
In addition to Agility, Stacie enjoys taking her dogs on long walks, hiking, kayaking and swimming. Outside of dogs, Stacie has a full time job in Marketing, and enjoys Photography and Cooking/Baking.
Stacie is also available for private lessons at FCDogs
