Earn an agility title on your beginner dog in a trial atmosphere! The Agility Course Test is an entry level agility event to introduce beginning dogs and/or handlers to the sport of agility. Dogs must be 15 months or older to enter and must meet the requirements for a regular AKC agility trial (Chapter 1, Section 3), except that they do not need to be registered with AKC to enter. ACT Level 1 is open to dogs that have not earned any AKC agility titles. The course will have 10-12 obstacles: 5’ A-frame, table, tunnels, and bar jumps (no spread jumps); tire & panel jumps are allowed but not required. Time for all jump heights is 60 seconds with a minimum score of 85 to Qualify. Two Qualifying runs earn the title – ACT1 ACT Level 2 is open to dogs that have not earned a title in any AKC Agility class except an ACT1 title. Level 2 courses have 11-13 obstacles: all of the obstacles in Level 1 plus a teeter, 6 weaves, tire, and 1 spread jump (triple, double, or broad); the dog walk is allowed but not required. Time for all jump heights is 70 seconds with a minimum score of 85 to Qualify. Two Qualifying runs earn the title – ACT2 Refusals & Run-outs are not judged. More than 3 attempts at an obstacle will result in an elimination (failure). The rest of the faults are the same as in the regular agility classes. All passing scores can be under the same judge. Only one dog in the ring at a time. Dogs may be entered at any of the following jump height divisions: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 or 24 inches, handler’s choice. A jump height card is not required.
