About Zeljko Gora

Trainer profile

No risk, no win! My passion for agility started in 1992 with my faithful mix-breed, Astor. In 1994 I joined the Croatian national team and welcomed Malinois Mel — together we took on AWC and EO courses and built an unbreakable bond. In 2004 came Border Collie Mac and Malinois Djurda. Mac's time was cut short by epilepsy, but the joy he brought stays with me. Border Collie Tip joined in 2008 and, now retired at 15, is still full of life. Malinois Gunga arrived in 2010; Border Collie Hash in 2016 and Border Collie Smoke in 2020 completed the competition team I have today. Along the way: EO, Silesian Open, Slovenian Open, B.A.C.K., Border Collie Classic, Croatian Open, and EO Jumping titles — not just medals, but moments of connection between human and dog. Agility is a way of life and a celebration of the bond we share. Whether you're experienced or just starting, I hope you'll join this journey — training tips, insights, and the joy of our community. Welcome to the adventure.

Q&A with Zeljko Gora

What do you focus on most when teaching?

I focus on practical progressions handlers can apply immediately in their own setup.

What mistakes do handlers make most often?

Inconsistent criteria and late handling decisions usually create the biggest training blocks.

What do you want people to feel after training?

Clear on what improved, what still needs work, and what to train next.
