SPORTS & EVENTS


LURE COURSING

The lure will lead a pack to run as fast as they can, zig-zagging across an open
field in hopes of catching it. The test is a basic performance of coursing that
is non-competitive and is pass/fail.


COURSING ABILITY

Most dogs have the urge to chase different objects, whether it's a ball or each
other during playtime. CAT is a non-competitive, pass/fail event that harnesses
their natural instinct.


COONHOUND

Nite Hunts require coonhounds to hunt at night with a handler and be scored on
their ability to trail and tree a raccoon. It is fun to watch and the hounds
enjoy doing what they were meant to do!


TRICK DOG

Since the 1920s and '40s when trick dogs such as Rin Tin Tin and Lassie won
peoples’ hearts, trick dog training has become one of the most exciting new
areas in dog training today.


CONFORMATION

Dog shows (officially conformation) may look like beauty pageants, but they’re
not. Dogs aren’t compared against each other; they’re compared against the
standards of their breed.


AGILITY

An exhilarating way to exercise with your dog, Agility is a fast-paced obstacle
course with tunnels, hurdles, and other challenges that your dog completes as
quickly as possible.


RALLY

In Rally, you and your dog navigate a course, side-by-side, through 10-20
different exercises and, although it’s timed, it's more about proving excellent
behavior and teamwork than speed.


FAST CAT

This fast-paced event features one dog running at a time, with their speed
clocked and converted to MPH. Any dog over 12 months of age that are registered
or enrolled with the AKC can participate.


VIRTUAL HOME MANNERS

This entirely virtual program tests for the 10 necessary skills that
well-mannered dogs need in the home setting! VHM gets you started on practical
skills needed before your first training class.


SCENT WORK

In AKC Scent Work, the handler guides the dog through a set search area to find
specific odors that the dogs have been trained to detect.


OBEDIENCE

Developed in the 1930s, Obedience is one of our oldest sporting events and is
open to all breeds. From walking in figure eights to sitting for 1-3 minutes,
dogs show off their good behavior.


TRACKING

Your dog’s natural ability to recognize and follow a scent is on full display in
AKC Tracking events.


HERDING

In the sport of Herding, your dog uses his innate herding abilities to move
sheep (or other animals) around a field.


EARTH DOG

Open to small terriers and Dachshunds, Earthdog tests are non-competitive and
assess your dog’s abilities for seeking and locating prey underground.


FIELD TRIALS

Since 1924, these competitions give your pointing breed a chance to show how
fast he can run and his keen desire to hunt for and find game.


HUNTING

Hunting tests are designed to test a dog's ability to work with their human
hunting companion in a simulated hunting situation.


FARM DOG CERTIFIED

The Farm Dog Certified test is a series of twelve exercises in a noncompetitive
pass/fail evaluation and open to all dogs over nine months that are registered
or enrolled with the AKC.


LURE COURSING

The lure will lead a pack to run as fast as they can, zig-zagging across an open
field in hopes of catching it. The test is a basic performance of coursing that
