She is the author of a three books series, "Steppin'Up to Success with Terri Arnold". Terri has had outstanding success in both the competition obedience and agility rings.

She won her first 3 Novice Classes in 3 shows, and also went on to go best over the Open Sr's. She has since won her first Open class and another Best. (I think its in her blood)!!!
