Laura Hartwick does a lot of things. Serious multi tasky, jackassery of all trades. After nearly 40 years of training horses and dogs and their people in Santa Cruz, California, she’s almost totally gone to the dogs and is teaching full time at Heart Dog Agility . Laura is an experienced trainer, handler, and national level competitor in agility, and has lots to share with all levels of students. Watch her in action here.

She’s still an artist, writer, and spends untold hours ambling around in the woods, but these days mostly you’ll need to catch up to her running her tail off with her border collies at agility trials instead of horse shows, or riding around on her property up at the Lost Empire Ranch in the Santa Cruz mountains.

When the weather’s crummy, she’s inside drawing and painting. Weather’s good, you might spot her painting outside somewhere, if you know where to look. You can order up a custom dog portrait while you’re at it, before the sun comes out again and she has to stay outside to play.

Laura is available at any of these convenient locations:
