AKC canine sports

The American Kennel Club (AKC) hosts various canine sports designed to showcase a dog's abilities, training, and teamwork with its handler. Popular events include agility, where dogs navigate obstacle courses; obedience, focusing on discipline and commands; and tracking, where dogs follow scents. These sports promote physical fitness, mental stimulation, and the human-animal bond. They provide an avenue for competition, recreation, and socialization within the dog community, encouraging responsible pet ownership and training practices while celebrating the diverse skills and breeds of dogs.
