After nearly four decades of dedication to dog agility, Patty Drom has been named a “Pioneer of Dog Agility” and inducted into the U.S. Dog Agility Association (USDAA) Hall of Fame. The honor recognizes Drom’s lasting contributions to the sport, solidifying her legacy as a leader and innovator in the field.

Drom recently retired after 29 years of running her Wylie-based business, Dallas Dog Sports, a dog agility training facility she founded in 1995.

According to the USDAA, Drom was instrumental in the growth of dog agility in the Dallas-Fort Worth area through her teaching, judging, and show hosting.
“The trials hosted at her facility provided an opportunity for the sport to grow in the area,” the USDAA said.
