Introduction

Let me introduce myself. My name is Marjo and I was born in 1974. Due to a great number of dogs and kids my house is always full of action and traffic. Besides Kiia, Super, BO, Brie and Chili, I have four children.

As a child I used to take out my neighbour's dogs every day. When I was in high school, we had three Dobermanns in our house. In those days, in addition to taking out our dogs, I was doing theatre, photography, swimming, martial arts (kick-boxing and tae kwon do) and reading.

In 2000, I graduated from the University of Jyväskylä and I am a language teacher (English, French and Italian) by profession. In Spring 2016 I got my second university degree, this time in social sciences.

Since 2008 I have been an active trainer of obedience in our local club. In Spring 2016 I was qualified as an obedience judge and three years later a Finnish Character Test judge. With my dogs I do many kind of sports like tracking, searching, seeking, agility, obedience, water rescue, rally-obedience and of course shows. My main sport is obedience and nowadays more or less rally-obedience. I have competed in all these sports with one or more dogs. At the moment I have trained three Obedience Champion and one Rally-obedience champion.
