About Us

Updated 2-29-2024

Hawaiian Agility Handlers Association, known as HAHA, was formed for the sole purpose to have a club focused on the sport of agility, and dedicate itself to the education and training of agility handlers in positive training methods.

HAHA offers agility competition and meets the needs of the club members by promoting dog agility events and instruction in the spirit of Aloha and good sportsmanship. We strive to advance canine health and well being, by encouraging responsible dog ownership and protecting the rights of dog owners through education.

Our members have a long and well-rounded history in dog competition in agility, conformation, tracking, obedience, and rally. A few of our members are breeders, some have risen to the status of AKC judges and we are beginning to see our dogs earn MACH and PACH titles as well as compete at AKC’s National Agility competition.

Agility in Hawaii has grown through the efforts of all of our members. Beginning in 2003, our members have been a part of successfully running AKC licensed agility trials and Show and Go fun matches. The recent growth of agility inspired us in 2006 to form a club dedicated only to agility.
