Our next training competition: Agility Competition on at .

In this competition, dogs compete on how fast they can complete the entire course while accurately going through each station. For example, when going over the A-Frame, they cannot jump off too soon. When they go to the pause table, they must stay there for the allotted time before running to the next station.

Each dog will have two runs through the course. We will take the best score from these runs.

The agility stations for this competition:
  • A-frame
  • Pause table
  • Teeter totter
  • Chute
  • Tunnel
  • Bar jumps
  • Tire jump

Weave poles will not be included in this competition because it is a fairly advanced skill that most people have not worked on. Weave poles will be included in future competitions.

The cost for entering the competition is $30. Winners will receive a certificate and free services from Tucker Pup's such as free boarding nights, daycare days, and grooming visits.

You must register in advance, and space is limited. Call us at 312-829-8787 to register or ask any questions.
