The ACT Virtual Program allows dogs and their handlers to participate in Agility Course Testing from home! The Agility Course Test (ACT) is an entry-level event designed to introduce and welcome dogs and their handlers to the AKC sport of Agility and is perfect for dogs that are working agility equipment at a beginner level. Dogs must be 15 months old to enter and cannot have earned any other agility title. You may find that your local dog club may offer ACT agility testing as well.
