Janeli Tikk &
U ARE SO UNIQUE Z KOVARNY

Janeli discovered rally obedience in 2017 in Lithuania, when spontaneously entered a competition with her Siberian Husky – they were completely unprepared, but instantly hooked. With Nico she started training RO in 2022, and since then they have earned both Estonian and Latvian champion titles. They also enjoy obedience, agility, and hoopers. Their training is built on trust – team that works together and brings out the best in each other. Nico is a happy and lively dog whose trademark "smile" – flashing his bright white teeth – might look intimidating at first, but it's really just his way of saying: "I'm so happy!"
