Attention campers!!

As I’m sure you’re aware, Sandy suburb has copped an enormous amount of rain. We have had to cancel caravans due to the risk of bogging… 

There are still a lot of campers though in tents and gazebos. We would just like to remind you that this is private property, and if you would like to take your dogs off leash to toilet or run around, please utilise the off leash area only. At no point should there be off leash dogs running around the camping area. There will be a zero tolerance policy on this. I know you will all be very respectful of Sandy and Garys property and also of their dogs whose home this is, and make sure that your dogs are on leash at all times unless in the off leash area. We thank you in advance for your understanding and compliance 💕

Everybody who is booked in for measuring on Sunday morning:

Measuring will be at 8 am. We have a lot of dogs to get to, and I have a dog to run in the first two classes, so everybody needs to be prompt, have their paperwork filled in, and correct money ready to go. Measuring will be on the stage, which is just outside the bathrooms. Since we both have to get up close and personal to measure your dog, please make sure you wear a mask, as I will. 😷

We will try to do the dogs in order, so you don’t have to wait around for ages, you’ll know who you are behind, make sure you’re available promptly. If you don’t arrive by the time measuring has finished, unfortunately we won’t be able to do it, both Sandy and I have a huge weekend of trial jobs as well as running two dogs each. 💕

Don’t forget loads of your dogs favourite treats!

Excited about next weekend? We are!

You may have gathered by now that at WAG we are all about modern and safe dog agility. With this in mind, please have a little read of some of the things that will be practised next weekend our trial. ⬇️

Leashes:
Because our venue is unique in its construction, with solid walls for entry and exit, A bucket will be provided for you to place your leash and toy in, on entering, it will be delivered to the exit for you to be able to immediately reward your dog on exiting.  If you wish to keep your leash on you, that’s no problem either. 

NFC:
We think this is a no brainer! If IN ANY CLASS you want to take a toy in to reward your dog, all the judges would be more than happy to see that! Please make sure when you are doing NFC, that you follow the sequential order of the course. You don’t have to start at #1 but you DO have to follow the numerical order, this is for safety, so that approaches to potentially dangerous obstacles can be managed as a straight approach.  You will have the set course time to have fun with your dog in the ring. Please show your toy to the judge or give the timeout signal with your hands on entering the ring to signal NFC. 

Fallen bars:
You may have noticed that overseas there are people who pick up bars mid run, this is the highest level of safety consideration. Fallen bars, and/ or wings, can cause a trip hazard for both handlers and dogs. At our trials, we will have someone to replace a bar if your dog knocks it. Course design will allow an adequate amount of obstacles in between for the bar to be replaced before you need to repeat the jump. If your dog is likely to be distracted by an extra person in the ring, particularly in the novice class, please let steward know on entering.  We would encourage you though, to start to train this particular situation, considering as agility moves forward in Australia, this is going to become more and more commonplace.

Got questions? Go for it ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 💕

***Measuring***

Hi all, we will be doing measuring at the WAG trial, on Sunday morning (although if you have a dog coming on Saturday and it needs to be measured let us know when we will work something out for you)

Please post your name and dogs name below and we will book you in.

Caroline and Sandy will be doing the measuring, we are sensitive to all dogs emotional requirements, and understand that some need a little extra time to be comfortable. Please just let us know… and bring plenty of REALLY high value treats with you!

Please come with your form pre filled and correct money.
