Michelle and Arya compete in scent work, agility, disc, dock diving, rally, and have completed all of the trick dog titles offered by both AKC and DMWYD. Arya was the first border collie to receive her Grand Champion Trick Dog Title through DMWYD.

They placed 3rd in their very first disc competition when Arya was a year of age at an Up Dog Challenge trial. Since then, they've placed consistently at disc events throughout the northeast region. After only a few disc events, they was invited to UpDog's National Disc Championship event, UpDif. During their first full season of dock diving through NADD, Arya got a PB (personal best) of 19'2". They received an invite to NADD Regionals/Nationals in 2020 for a high score in the junior division of AR, and for accomplishing an dock senior advanced title. At the 2020 North East NADD Regional Arya placed 3rd in the junior division for AR.

In 2021, they debuted in Scent Work gaining her Scent Work Novice overall title in 4 trials, with placements and Q's across the board. In 2022, at their first trialing weekend of the advanced divisions of containers & interiors, they achieved their SCA & SIA titles with placements. They also debuted in AKC agility fall of 2021, having earned solely 1st place placements for their Q's thus far!
