Eva Bertilsson

For the last 16 years Eva Bertilsson has shared her life and her passion for training with Misty (a phalène). Together they’ve excelled in agility, won the individual Swedish Agility National, and been part of the Swedish Agility Team. They’ve also earned titles at the highest levels in obedience and conformation, and have played around in several other dog sports.

Over time, Eva’s pack has expanded to include phalène Soya, seasoned but now retired agility competitor, and Border collie Tizla, still a newbie. Agility has grown to become the main focus for Eva and her dogs, accompanying her strong interest in positive reinforcement training.

Eva has a degree in psychology and education, and worked as a teacher. Currently she is busy fulltime as an instructor and writer, running Carpe Momentum with her friend and colleague Emelie Johnson Vegh. Eva and Emelie lead agility seminars at all levels all over Sweden and Norway, and are very much appreciated for their systematic, and well-planned approach that focuses on joy and success for both dog and handler. Nowadays Eva and Emelie also offer TAGteach Primary Certification seminars; they are the only level 3-certified TAGteachers in Europe. The colleagues also write articles for magazines such as Canis (published by Morten Egtvedt and Cecilie Køste), and are about to release their first agility book, published by Sunshine Books. 

Eva has also worked for the Swedish Kennel Club for many years, educating agility instructors and future instructors’ teachers, as well as offering pet dog classes and campaigning for clicker training at local clubs. To learn more about Eva, see www.carpemomentum.nu.
