Murfreesboro, Tenn. — Top canine athletes from across the country are headed to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to compete in the U.S. Dog Agility Association’s prestigious Cynosport® Dog Agility World Games Championship, Oct. 20-24 at Tennessee Miller Coliseum.
Contenders will unleash their dogs and direct them with voice and hand signals through obstacle courses in a race against the clock. Competitors will battle for the sport’s most coveted prizes including the Grand Prix of Dog Agility® World Champion title and the right to compete for $15,000 in cash prizes.
There is nothing more entertaining than watching talented dogs perform against the clock over hurdles and a-frames, through tunnels, tire jumps, weave poles and even the see-saw. Easy for spectators to understand, the object is to have the least penalties with the fastest time. Dogs of all breeds and sizes will compete in various classes where obstacles are set based on the dog’s height.
Spectator fun for all ages
Daily activities run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 20 through Sunday, Oct. 24, with evening events on Saturday beginning at 6:00 p.m. Please note that COVID-19 protocols will be in place, including masks and social distancing.
