About NADAC

Philosophy, Mission, Rules & FAQ

The North American Dog Agility Council (NADAC) was formed in 1993 to provide North American dogs and their handlers with a fast, safe and enjoyable form of the sport of dog agility. NADAC sanctions agility trials sponsored by affiliated clubs.

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 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.
