🌟 Meet the Team — Committee Member (Social Media Team & Training Subcommittee) 🌟

Hi all I’m Claudia. I fell in love with agility back in 2024 when I thought I would give it a go to do something different and fun with my little foxy Jax. I very quickly became hooked. I now have a second foxy cross named Maze, she’s only a pup so I’m looking forward to running two dogs once she’s a little older.

My agility journey with Jax hasn’t been smooth sailing. He’s a very sensitive dog so there have been a lot of learnings to find out what works best for him and to keep every training session positive and fun. Watching him slowly become more confident and feeling more like a team as we go has been super rewarding.
This year Jax and I are focussing on taking things slow and keeping it fun. We have managed to get our first couple of clear runs which I’m super proud of so I would love to get a clear with a placing at a champ show.

Outside of agility I work for Fonterra helping take care of different specialty milk contracts. I also do a lot of knitting (when I can find time between work and dogs).

I haven’t been on committee for very long but I’m currently part of the training subcommittee and the social media team. Assisting with updating the training manuals to make sure members are learning fun and helpful things and keeping up our social media presence to interest potential new members are two of my key focuses.

The main piece of agility advice I have for people is to celebrate all the small wins, no matter how small. Every handler + dog are on their own journeys so don’t compare yourself to others, focus on your own wins and making agility a super fun experience for both you and your dog.

🌟 Meet the Team - Committee Member (Social Media Team & Equipment Coordinator) 🌟

Hi everyone I'm Tylah, I haven't been in agility as long as some of the other people. I first start in January 2024 with my dog Shadow who is a collie x golden retriever.

Our start to agility was pretty rocky. It took a while for us to gel as a team, on top of that it took Shadow along time to grow her confidence in jumping. We are currently in Jumpers B but if you had asked me if we would be in jumpers B this time last year I would of had no hope as Shadow was either running out of the ring or going under the bars. However, it seemed to have clicked for her at Tokoroa Champs this year as she decided to get her first clear run and 2 wins moving her up to B.

Outside of agility I am a compliance administrator for a fire protection company. My main job is making sure a building is compliant for its Building Warrant of Fitness. When myself or my partner are not competing in agility we like to take the dogs out for fun little adventures around the Waikato / Bay of Plenty area

I have 2 roles within committee one being apart of the social media team. You'll see me around our shows taking photos and videos. So keep an eye out on our social media pages incase you see yourself. My other role is the equipment. If you have any issues with any of our gear you can come and talk to me about it.

For anyone new in agility or just starting to compete my biggest advice is to just have fun out there with your best friend and not be so harsh on yourself if you don't get the results you want straight away. Keep practicing and you'll get there.

CONGRATULATIONS 🥳 to Rev handled by Leni and Steph on gaining JUMPERS CHAMPION!! A serious boy, who is just as much of a champion in cuddles as he is in agility. He always puts 100% into every job he’s given. 👏🔥

WAG’s Dog of the Month - September

😋 Benji 😋

Benji is a 2-year-old mini dachshund.

Benji is incredibly happy, curious, and very cheeky. He is very food motivated (like most dogs) and naturally has self appointed himself to the position of household food inspector, nothing is safe if it’s within sausage-dog reach!

We’re still relatively new to agility (coming up one year next term) and currently in Skills class, but Benji and I absolutely love it. My favourite part has been watching him learn new things and seeing how confident he gets when he figures something out and also how important it is that I’m also working hard to ensure he has a successful run.

I’d love to keep building our skills and confidence together, with the goal of eventually competing. Most importantly, I want agility to remain something Benji loves and for us to have lots of fun along the way!
