Heather Mcleod is the lead trainer and owner of RUFFSPORT. Heather had an exstensive background in muscle car and drag racing until ten years ago when she discovered dogs sports. Determined to get her Border Collie, Diesel to jump off the dock she spent all her time helping out at Dock Jumping events and demo's, learning all she could from the best in the business. Ten years later she now owns and operates a Dock Jumping Pool.

She attended one of the best agility training facilities in North America—Say Yes Dog Training in Ancaster, Ontario. Say Yes taught Heather that being positive is not the same thing as being permissive. Instead the trainer has to focus on shaping behaviours, rewarding the correct choices and knowing when and where to reward. This includes relationship building and a desire to play! Learning how to use a clicker was the best shaping tool idea since sliced bread...so remember, "what you click is what you get."

Heather also belongs to one of the top north american flyball teams, Instant replay, and runs a performance team called Fast N' Furry.
