You can see Moe and her dogs in action on her YouTube Channel here.

Moe started her own business, Momentum Dog Sports in 2006 after teaching for Power Paws Agility for over five years. She continues to teach for Power Paws as she grows her own business. Moe contributes her success to having two of the greatest agility mentors: Nancy Gyes and Jim Basic.

A native of California, Maureen has over 17 years experience in teaching and counseling dog and cat owners about general pet training and behavior problems. She was the behaviorist for the Humane Society Silicon Valley for over 12 years before starting Momentum Dog Sports. She was sought after by local media, utility companies and other animal organizations for her expertise.

Moe discovered clicker training in 1994 at a Karen Pryor seminar and merely dabbled in the science of operant conditioning until 1998 when she was introduced to “chicken training”.  Moe then took five operant conditioning (chicken) workshops given by Marian and Bob Bailey from 1998-2001. (You can read more about Bob Bailey's web postings here.) She now embraces OC as an integral part of being an effective and humane trainer.

An agility fanatic since 1996, she has put AKC and USDAA titles on four different breeds: Boxer, Border Collie, Mini Aussie and Whippet. You can find more out about her dogs here.

Moe has taught at Power Paws Summer Camp for four years and Clean Run Instructor Camp for two years. She writes regularly for Clean Run Magazine as well.

Excerpt from Cool Canine Article written by Angela Sutton:  "The key to Moe's winning success in the ring is speed and accuracy. This is the combination of good foundation training and a consistent handling system. Moe combines her understanding of how individual dogs learn, with these operant conditioning techniques learnt from the Bailey's and their chickens. The dog learns to volunteer behaviors in incremental yet precise steps during their foundation training, be it hitting the weave entry correctly the first time or driving fast to the very end of the contact zone. To that, Moe has added consistent handling cues – an agility handling system popularized by England’s Greg Derrett.  The end result is very exact behavior in response to specific handler cues."
