Level Progression

• All dogs must title in Novice to progress to the Intermediate level

​

Size Divisions: Small ~ Medium ~ Large

​

Categories : Regular and Preferred

There are now two entry categories

Regular: Dogs continue to enter by rules for size: Small, medium or large​

 

PREFERRED Category

“For dogs that find completing full courses too demanding due to physical challenges. This includes veteran dogs and those with medical or other physical conditions. The Preferred category offers courses with shorter sequences”

Dogs that are veterans in agility are permitted but not obligated to run in the Preferred category. This will be at the owner’s discretion

Teams may switch from Regular to Preferred category at any time and in any level from Novice to Proficient.  Preferred courses have a maximum of 16 obstacles, but all other aspects such as distance, bonuses, times and rules remain unchanged. Size measurements also remain the same: small, medium or large

Please note that once a dog has entered the Preferred category, they must continue to run in that division and no longer qualify for the Regular category
