Randi Benko

 Randi  has a very diverse background with animals, but it wasn’t until getting  her first Brittany, River, in 2015 that she really began to immerse  herself in the world of dog sports. Since then, she has trained and  competed in agility, barn hunt, and scenting. Her love of scent-based  sports has taken over every minute of her training and that is where her  focus solely lies now. 

While she may seem new on the scene, she’s  dedicated quite a bit of time and energy over the last few years, taking  courses and researching training information. Working with River has  provided many rewards, and often several challenges that have forced her  to seek and create innovative training methods. Along with River, Randi shares her home with a Dachshund named Frank and  a new Brittany puppy named Teal. 

Randi is the only scent  instructor in Regina with titles in more than one scenting association.
