The Core Team

Our mission is to develop the best app for all you agility people who want to take your training and competing to the next level whilst respecting your dogs. And we are very much a part of this group. More and more skills are required to succeed in the sport, but our dogs cannot take part in endless training sessions seven times a week. And it really doesn’t lead to the best outcome either. We want to help you improve the quality of your training to achieve good outcomes without excessive and unnecessary strain to the dogs - and good outcomes also keep the motivation high. 

We cooperate actively with other dog agility people, agility trainers, competition organizers, and several companies. If you'd like to cooperate with us, don't hesitate to contact us. We are especially interested in doing marketing together with other companies who are supporting dog agility in some way, e.g. creating great products that help in training or competitions.

Elisa Nauha, CPO, Partner

Elisa Nauha is a crystallographer now turned to IT specialist and dog sport enthusiast. She first joined AgiNotes as a trainee and partnered up to continue with developing AgiNotes and her IT expertise. She has two dogs, a mostly retired sprollie Ansa and a young bordercollie Koodi. In addition to agility she has competed in obedience, rally-obedience and skijoring/canicross - not yet at a top level, but heading up one skill (or technically parts of many skills) at a time. Keeping track of the steps to a goal is what AgiNotes can help do! Elisa is an active member in her local agility club where she also coaches agility.
