This Term our new Introduction to Agility class is: 5th Feb, 6:45pm
If your dog likes being around people, other dogs, gets a bit bored and likes being active this sport could be for you both.
Your dog needs to be healthy, over 12months of age, under reasonable control (does not have to have a perfect recall), sociable, loves being active. All sized dogs are welcome. Your dog does not need to be a pedigree or a working breed.
If you are not sure about joining us you and your family are also welcome to come and check us out and watch some training sessions before you join a class in the future. We are always happy to give you some advice if you think your dog is not quite ready or too young and we can help you to prepare to joining us in the future. The class is not hard and it leads you step by step.
Basically, agility is teaching your dog a number of ‘tricks’ that enable you to be able to perform a number of tasks that are put together and then suddenly you two can run around on an agility course. When you come and you will see the more experienced dogs working and you will realise that dogs just love to work with their owners and you become a team.
Are you excited ? Great so hop onto our website. Look along the top bar for New Members fill out the inquiry form you then should receive info back on how to join and what to bring on the first night (This might take a few days).
Our club is running a Dog Agility Competition on January 25/26 you are very welcome to come and watch the show. Bring the family and the entry is free. Drive in and park on the field.
Looking forward to seeing you soon

Paddy Gower seeks ‘bloody great Cantab’
The Kiwi journalist drilling deep into the country’s biggest issues is on a mission to find the local greats.
Paddy Gower is looking for the Good Kiwi in every region to feature in his show, The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour.
To nominate a Good Kiwi, email reporters@press.co.nz with the name and a description of why your nominee should win. You an also share the local issues you think Paddy needs to tackle in the comments below.
It could be the woman whose knitting circle has made 3800 items for victims of domestic violence, the guy running the length of Aotearoa for mental health, or the woman with terminal cancer who spends her time campaigning to raise awareness and save lives.
“Basically I am looking for ... a bloody great Cantab who just gets on and gets things done. The criteria is somebody who has a positive attitude and makes the community a better place," Gower said.
“I will give this person the 'Big Ups' they deserve, and the community can celebrate them with me.”
A Good Kiwi will feature in each of Gower’s live shows in 14 centres through November and December. He will name the Cantabrian Good Kiwi at his Christchurch show on the evening of Friday, November 22, at St Margaret’s College.
The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour is a sort of book tour, sort of stand-up comedy, some journalistic yarns and memoir, and some motivational speaking - with a fair bit of local in each show.
Gower also wants to know about topics of interest in the region.
“I’m ... going to be taking on a big issue facing Canterbury and offering up solutions.”
A stinky suburb, a neighbourhood needing a round-about or a cathedral in disrepair - “I will make your views count”, he said.
“I'm touring the nation to spread positivity, optimism and good vibes.”
