It's not always an easy process to apply for these grants, but it is well worth taking the time to do so, and apply to more than one at a time.

Thank you to Lyn Sayers from Taupo for providing this information, in his time as President at Taupo, he applied on multiple occasions and was only successful perhaps half of those times, but all up was successful in securing 10s of thousands of dollars for the club, so it is worth persevering.




Teaching agility classes

Ideas for teaching all levels of agility from Foundation and Puppy classes to competition level.

  • Using toys & food
  • DAWG Foundation Agility
  • DAWG Instructors Handbook
  • DAWG Manuals - Conditions of use - If printed/used, the club must acknowledge that the manual was produced by DAWG. Also if modified in any way, the modifications must be shared with DAWG
  • Foundation Class - Peter de Wit
  • This 8 week course was developed by Peter de Wit for UHDTS with an emphasis on keeping the class active, and having fun. The class was originally called Flexigility because the idea was for people and dogs to keep moving the whole session.
  • Beginners Class - Meredith Evans
  • This is a 10 week beginners class, designed by Meredith Evans. It covers jumps, tunnels and weaves, as well as a simple course by week 10.
