Welcome to Dragonfire Agility and Dragonfire Dogs. These pages will introduce you to me, Louise Wetzel, I live in Queens NY. I am currently teaching agility classes and private lessons on Long Island, NY. I also have students in Westchester County. Let me introduce you to My Dogs, past and present, who have taught me so much about agility and how to get this information to my Students and their own dogs. Click here for my teaching Schedule, updated weekly. Click here for descriptions of the agility classes I am teaching at the various facilities.

I am a current member of Long Island Agility and Doggie U K9 Academy, LIRR Flyball Team and a past member of Contact Agility Club. I have been the Show Chairman for Long Island Agility's spring NADAC trial for the past number of years.

Other large areas of interest besides my dogs and agility, are wolves and dragons I have an extensive collection of all types of wolf collectibles, dog statues and dragon figurines. So, the name Dragonfire and all my dogs have Dragonfire in their "fancy" names. I also read quite a bit science fiction, fantasy and mystery. Books in these genres fill my book shelves.

Devin and I, pictured along with judge, Jean Mackenzie, who gave us that elusive Masters Jumpers leg at the CATS October 2003 USDAA trial. This was our MAD title, Master Agility Dog, something we worked long and hard for. Thank you Jean and everyone else along the way who helped us achieve the title, all the judges and the five Masters Pairs Relay partners: Ella DuPree and Mick, Judy Reilly and Brodie, Brian McGunigle and Edna, Nancy Obara and Majel, Sandy Costello and Maui.

Kane really gets into flyball, notice his eyes, scary.....;

Kane enjoys playing in the tunnel, as you can see from this awesome photograph.

Some new photos of Raven and Errol from our trip to Vermont in June of 2010.

We were visiting my cousins Chris and Penny. The dogs had a great time, running, exploring in the wild of their Vermont backyard!
