Agility dog trials

Beginning levels are done on-leash while advanced levels are performed off-leash. Rally is an event that showcases teamwork and skills. An AKC Obedience Trial will take your dog and you to a beginning level of competition and eventually to advanced levels of competition. Obedience competition and training is the best way to establish good communication between your dog and you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about Obedience or Rally.

Our members are always happy to share their knowledge and experience in these wonderful sports. The crowds in the stands cheer as you move together in perfect harmony. It can be quite a rush — and one of the best ways to create an even deeper connection between you and your dog. Dogs race against a clock as they navigate an obstacle course with strong concentration and speed. Whether you just want to have fun exercising with your dog, or want to go further and enter an Agility competition, get ready for a fast-paced, rewarding experience that will get you and your dog in the best shape of your lives!

I am writing to give some well earned positive feedback about an agility trial I recently attended. This was our first ever trial and our first contact with your organization, and we had a blast!

Not only were the people friendly and helpful for all of the newbies to NADAC, but the event was incredibly organized and ran very smoothly. Our judge, Jeff Riedl, was also wonderfully encouraging, and instructive with the competitors, and definitely made the whole experience a great one. I also just need to thank your group for being one of the only ones that I have found that openly allow canine amputees to compete.

My agility partner is an amazing tripaw who has done local fun agility with our trainer here, but never dreamed we could do any recognized trails. My friend, who competes mainly in AKC, discovered your organization and guided me to the website.

We were very excited to find out that we could finally try out our skills outside our comfort zone, and it was a blast. I wanted to take a moment and let you know how I felt about my experience this past weekend at the Dogs on Q agility trial. A friend recommended that I try it with my Norwegian Elkhound as she has been struggling in other venues. So I registered my dog. Even though I had read all the rules, I was still a bit confused on which classes I should try.

So I sent emails with questions and got wonderfully helpful replies. And Wow! The atmosphere was much more laid back than I was used to.
