Rikke Wriedt

From very early on Rikke showed a huge passion for animals. At the age of twelve Rikke got her first border collie, Fille. Dogs have been part of her life since and she can not imagine a life without. With the addition of Fille Rikke's engagement in dogs, dog sports and training escalated. Through the years Rikke has been involved in many aspects of dog sports including O-rally, obedience, herding, tracking and agility. Rikke participated in her first agility trial at the age 14 and has been competing ever since.

Since 1996 Rikke has trained none the less than nine Border Collies. Today she shares her life with Border Collies Zap, Bob, Poncho and Liva. Rikke loves spending time with her dogs whether on a run in the woods, training agility or relaxing on the couch.

Rikke is both an examined agility instructor and clicker instructor. She loves teaching agility and she frequently gives seminars and lectures on the subject. Rikke also writes articles for Hund & Træning magazine on a regular basis.

When not training dogs, teaching or writing articles Rikke studies veterinary medicine at the University of Copenhagen. Becoming a veterinarian is a lifelong dream. Rikke hopes to combine her profession with her knowledge about dog sports and training to become one of few veterinarians specialized in dog sport related issues and chiropractic.

Rikke is available for seminars, private lectures and one-to-one tuition. Contact information can be found at the bottom of this page.
