AKC Dog Agility Trials |
|
Located in the South Hall, you’ll find 2 rings of excitement all weekend long. You don’t have to be a dog person to enjoy and appreciate the amazing displays of agility at this attraction. Agility is a sporting event for dogs that is designed to demonstrate a dog’s willingness to work with its handler in a variety of situations. The dogs must be in peak physical condition, have excellent concentration, training and teamwork abilities. There is a large obstacle course that the dog and owner must negotiate while racing the clock. |
