The Agility Association of Canada (or AAC) is basically like the "head honcha" of Agility in Canada. All Canadian Agility Trials must be approved of by the AAC and held by a member of the AAC. If you are interested in either competing with your dog in agility, becoming a member, and/or hosting an Agility Trial in your area I suggest clicking on the banner above to view their website. It is a very informative, pleasing on the eye site filled with all the information and propper forms you need about the AAC.
If you're not sure what Dog Agility is, let me explain...
Dog Agility is a dog sport recognized all around the world. The goal is to complete a set course with the least amount of faults in a fast time. There are different games to play in Agility such as Snooker, Gamblers, Team Relay, Jumpers and Standard. There are also different classes and jump heights your dog can be entered in or qualify under. The jump heights determine the hieght of all obstacles on a course for your dog. A dogs jump hieght is determined by the hieght measured from the floor to their withers (shoulders). To enter an agility trial in Canada you must first have your dogs AAC ID Card. On the back of this card there are several spaces for a judge's signature and what hieght your dog will be jumping at. You must have at least two of these spaces filled on your card. Measurements always take place at the begining of a trial so pay attention to announcements to find out when you can have your dog measured and his/her card filled.
