During all the 2008 mayhem; Agility Academy was taking shape.
Whilst being very happy agility trainers at Cape Province Dog Club, we were losing out on personal training time and needed to solve the problem. Lindsay King, Chantal Holmes and I decided it was time to branch out on our own.
Norman Henshilwood High School was passed on to us and we were based. The principal, Mr David Millar, welcomed us with enthusiasm and has become our best supporter. The caretaker, Hennie, has been amazingly co-operative in opening up for us, sometimes at 6 am on weekends and the school tuck-shop is now available to us as well.

| Lindsay's always great ideas gave us the name and the colour scheme. The logo improved to what it is now. |
We started off with a single evening of classes, and a year later when Marlize Matthee joined us, included Saturdays and a second evening.
4 years on, we reached our goal of being a “competitive training facility”. We are officially affiliated to SADAA (South African Dog Agility Association) and host all Western Province Club Trials as well as Regional Trials. We have a regularly updated website and a facebook page.
As partners, we have gelled each with our own field of expertise and choice. I am happiest with beginners, Lindsay is an ace at training weave poles and contacts and Marlize and Chantal excel at training advanced handling skills.
These 3 partners were also the support team that I desperately needed after losing Amie and have been involved from the very beginning with Mac’s rehabilitation and eventually agility training.
Thanx Guys!
