Aneta Obrusníková

Czech Republic

Hi everyone! It is hard to introduce myself, but I'll try. I started agility 12 years ago with a weimaraner and later continued with a border collie. When my border collie developed spondylosis, I began thinking about my next breed, fell in love with mudis, and that's where the next chapter started.

Now I can't imagine my life without agility. I am a coach, competitor, and international judge - I love being in these different roles and seeing agility from multiple sides.

I prefer to train independent skills, layering, and motivation. For me it is important that agility stays fun for dogs and people, and I enjoy courses with flow and natural lines.

I am really looking forward to being, for the first time, part of this amazing competition not just as a competitor, but from the other side too.

Zsófi Bíró

Hungary

Welcome everybody! I feel honoured to send my warmest welcome as a judge to all who wish to join Prague Agility Party this summer.

Every time Czech organizers dream, it’s a guarantee for fun, high-quality events in a great atmosphere.

Let’s make sure this atmosphere, created by our love for agility, is passed on to our dogs: the sparkle in their eyes through every step of the way, the fun that makes us connect from all over the world, is a true gift.

I’ve been living for agility since 1997, became an international judge in 2014, and can never get bored of this discipline. I like creating challenges that require handling skills and smart decisions, and I love feeling the rhythm of our four-legged friends while allowing a flowy run over the course.

May we have a glamorous time together and have all our dreams come true in August 2026 in Prague!

Max Glover

Great Britain

I've been competing in agility since I was about 4 years old. I've competed with many different dogs over the years in all different heights and grades and have represented Team GB at EO and JOAWC.

I have been judging for over a year and have judged at many of my favourite competitions in the UK. I like to design fast courses that test the dog and handler.

I am really excited to be coming over to the Czech Republic to judge!

Jesús Fernández Crespo

Spain

Hi! My name is Jesús Fernández Crespo and I have been practicing agility since 2006. From the very beginning with my first Border Collie, I knew agility would become my passion. Over the years, I’ve competed in countless national and international events such as the Spanish Championship, European Open, Crufts, WAO, AWC, and many more.

In addition to competing, I’ve worked professionally as an agility trainer for the last 5 years, leading seminars and classes across Europe and beyond, helping teams reach their full potential.

As a judge, I love designing courses that are natural and flowing, yet challenging enough to let competitors show their best handling and distance skills.

Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity to be part of Prague Agility Party. I’m excited to share this adventure with all of you and contribute to making it unforgettable!

Annamária Borovská

Slovakia

Hi everyone! I have been involved in agility for 13 years now. Back then, I was absolutely sure agility was not going to be my sport. Well... I tried it, fell in love with it, and never really stopped.

Currently, I train and compete with Miniature American Shepherds, and over the years agility naturally led me to coaching and judging, a role I truly enjoy. I love designing courses and watching how different teams solve them in their own way.

I prefer flowing, natural lines combined with elements that test handling skills and teamwork.

For me, it is important that agility stays fair and fun for both dogs and people. I really appreciate runs where dogs are treated with respect, the team enjoys the moment, and even small mistakes are taken with a smile.

I am very happy and excited to be part of Prague Agility Party this year and to experience this amazing event from the judge's side.

Nikiforos Orfanakos

Greece

Hi! My name is Nikiforos, but most people call me Niki. I've been a dog trainer for over 15 years and an agility athlete and trainer for over 10 years. I started with Malinois and have since added Border Collies to the pack, two very different yet unique breeds in terms of performance and behaviour.

Recently, I also became an international judge and have been living the judging life to the fullest, arriving at a new destination almost every weekend! This new role has shed a different light on agility and brought out a creative side of me that I did not know I had.

I've learned, and I am still learning, to anticipate lines and potential pain points while always incorporating dog safety into the mix.

I would describe my judging style as fast moving yet strategic.

Being an active athlete myself, I really appreciate a good, powerful run that highlights the handler's athletic capabilities and showcases the dog's agility skills.

However, don't be put off if running is not your strong point. I always make sure there are alternate ways to pull off the course and give everyone an even chance at success.

I am very excited to be part of the PAP 2026 team and look forward to judging at what has been described to me as a super cool summer event!

Cecilia Klingberg

Sweden

We are thrilled to welcome Cecilia Klingberg from Sweden to our judging panel! Cecilia is an experienced agility competitor turned international judge who brings a unique perspective from both sides of the ring.

Her years of competing at the highest level gave her a deep understanding of what handlers and dogs need on course, and this experience now shapes the way she designs and judges tracks.

Cecilia is known for her love of flowing courses with natural lines. She values keeping agility fun and fair for all sizes, and competitors can look forward to well-designed tracks that reward smooth teamwork and clear handling.

Jeremy Manno

Belgium

Hi, I am Jeremy. Since I started my agility career in 2009, I developed a passion for drawing courses and was always happy when I got the opportunity to place one of my creations on the training field. I loved seeing how clubmates and their dogs ran them, which made me want to go further.

Designing courses has since been one of my favourite pastimes, with the culmination becoming a judge in 2019 and being able to build these courses at competitions and watch teams exploring them, all day long.

I love the atmosphere at bigger competitions and am really excited to be joining the judging team at Prague Agility Party!
