Mission
Mission
NADAC supports dog agility as a competitive sport, while striving to protect and advance the interests of dog agility by encouraging sportsmanlike competition and responsible dog ownership.
Purpose of Agility Trials
Purpose of Agility Trials
The purpose of a NADAC agility trial is to demonstrate the ability of a dog and its handler to work as a smoothly functioning team. With separate class divisions for Veterans and Junior Handlers and a variety of games, NADAC dog agility offers something for everyone! NADAC courses are traditionally fun and fast due to the flow and distance between obstacles. The goal is to maintain an environment that tests dog and handler teams with appropriate challenges, while combining speed, accuracy, distance, and teamwork.

NADAC is now accepting videotaped agility runs!
8.1 Video Tape Program (VT) Amended Rules to the NADAC Video Tape Program (VT) As of January 1, 2018, NADAC adjusted the criteria for submitting videotaped runs for Qualifying purposes. Courses will be posted on the NADAC website (Nadac.com) under the Train and Play/Video Runs tab. NADAC will post a new set of courses once a month on the First of every month. VT runs are a replacement for competitors who cannot make it to trials, not a supplement for those also trialing.
