August and September 2023 ACT (Agility Course Test) at Oriole

 Would you like to see how your dog would perform in a small trial atmosphere, that is more relaxed and friendly? Would you like to try to earn your first AKC agility title? 

Join us for our AKC ACT Tests with 

Judge Patricia Dunseith!

The Agility Course Test (ACT) is an entry level agility event designed to introduce and welcome beginning dogs and their handlers to the AKC sport of agility in a fun, relaxed setting.  Any dog that has not earned an AKC agility title can earn an AKC ACT title!

Come out to ODTC on two summer Sunday evenings to give it a try!

Oriole will offer two rounds of AKC ACT1 and ACT2 Standard on Sunday, Aug. 27 and two rounds of AKC ACT1 and ACT2 Jumpers with Weaves on Sunday, Sept. 10. Patricia Dunseith will judge the events starting at 6 p.m. 

  • ACT1 is designed for the beginning level dog to show beginning sequencing and performance skills.
  • ACT2 requires an increased skill level shown by the additional obstacles to be performed.

Who Can Participate an ACT Event?

Any person with a dog that meets the requirements for a regular agility trial can enter these events (requirements available on www.akc.org).
