Registering you and your dog to compete in Dogs NZ agility

Before you can enter a show, you need to:
  • have a permanent agility number
  • have your dog measured
  • be a member of Dogs NZ
  • be a member of a Dogs NZ club (e.g. DAWG)
  • have your dog registered with Dogs NZ
This involves 2 x websites. Dogs NZ and Dog Agility. It takes up to 7 days to get your Dogs NZ membership number, before you can register your dog.

Step 1: Get your permanent agility number

You need a permanent agility number for your dog before your measure.
g ​Once completed you’ll be emailed a number that is a letter followed by 3 numbers and a logon for the Dog agility site. You need to be logged in to enter shows.
Notes: 
Primary Handler/Owner DogsNZ Number: If you’re not yet a Dogs NZ member, tick “not known”.
Dog DogsNZ Number: (eg OB/6677):  
  • If you haven’t yet registered your dog, tick “not known”. 
  • If you have a registered purebred dog, use the XXXXX-YYYY number. (the YYYY is the year your dog was born/registered). 
Dog height: pick the most likely height for your dog from the drop down.

Step 2: Join Dogs NZ

There is a cost of $107.50. You will need to pay this each year to compete. You get a pretty decent discount off the Interislander ferry with membership.

Step 3: Register your dog with Dogs NZ

If you have a Dogs NZ registered dog already (ie a purebred dog from a breeder), you don’t need to do this step (go to step 4).
You need to wait until you get your membership number then download the PDF and complete it
Note: You can call your dog anything you like, it doesn’t have to be their pet name. :) e.g. HRH Queen Edie of the Feets. This is the name that will appear on all clear round certificates and title awards.
Your dog will get a number that starts with OB/

Step 4: Update your profile and your dog’s profile on the dog agility website. ​

Log in to the site
You: Select My Profile from the menu. Add your Dogs NZ membership number.
Dog: select My dogs > my dogs from the menu. Click the icon of pencil and paper. Add your dog’s Dogs NZ number (OB/XXXX).
