April Statz
April started agility in 2008 with her Sheltie Linkin. Through the nurturing TAG environment April and Linkin immediately blossomed as a team and April realized that she had found her home away from home. This team competed at their first Regionals and Nationals 2010 and achieved a 7th place finish in Calgary. April now runs Shelties Rynn, Knight and Kizz.  With Rynn, April has achieved many awards.  They got their Lifetime award before Rynn was 4years of age.  April has also placed in the top 3 multiple times at the BC Championships and at Nationals won a 3rd place finish.  April brings a love of teaching and a background in behaviour management.  Her latest addition Kizz finished 1st at the BC Championship for 2017. Now that her 2 children have moved away she loves to fill her time with training, teaching and competing.

Steve Spencer
Steve started agility with his dog Sasha. He had seen an agility demo at the Comox Fall Fair and thought it would be something for him to do with Sasha.  It took a bit of time to train Sasha as she was a bit wary of some of the obstacles, but they kept at it and went on to become a great team.  They were able to place on the podium a few times at the BC Championships as well as at the National Championship as well.  Steve brings a good eye to teaching and a great communicator of what to do.  Great to have Steve pack teaching with us.
