AKC Agility Regulations updates

Below is information about the upcoming changes (full regulation changes are being prepared and will be posted when ready) that will affect your upcoming course design submissions for all courses to be run on July 1, 2024 and after:
• The tire may only be used one time on a course.
• The wall jump may be used in place of the panel or spread jump at the Ex/M or Premier levels.
• The table is no longer allowed in the Ex/M level courses. It remains required for Novice and Open Standard. Course times (on the worksheet) will NOT include 5 seconds that was added for the table for the Ex/M level. The 5 second addition to time will be calculated for the Novice and Open Standard (as per current practice). A new worksheet will be posted to blog as soon as it is ready.
• A two “bar” jump is no longer required in any class – it is allowed, not required.
Notes regarding other changes that will be reflected on the course design worksheet, course time worksheets (max. yardage) and in your judging responsibilities:
Maximum course yardage is increased for the 8” and 12” dogs (thus also affecting the 4” and 16” heights). This increase will address that with the increased distances between obstacles and options, many of your designs exceeded the maximum overall course yardage for the small dogs. Reminder – if your design exceeds the maximum yardage you must pull in your course – not simply run the course at max yds/times. This actually penalizes the dogs, and requires them to run faster than the prescribed YPS.
There will be only one 20” path wheeled for the Open level (as per Novice), and that number will be calculated for each height as per the course time worksheets.
FEO available for all classes – at the club’s option (they must offer for all classes or none). FEO is 45 seconds for all classes (including T2B), except FAST - where the times will remain the same. It is imperative that the timer be instructed to hit the horn at “time” and the judge blow their whistle to conclude their time in the ring.

Questions on any posted material should be directed to your reviewing Field Rep, or to [email protected]

McKay9 Dog Training’s annual Independence Day reminder for pet owners. Permission to share granted.
Plan ahead of time to ensure your pets remain safe throughout fireworks season.
Many shelters become busy during the Independence Day season with recovered dogs that have fled their homes in panic. The time to develop a plan is before pets experience fireworks-related stress and potentially engage in blind flight attempts to escape the noise and percussion.
A multi-pronged approach starting with management is recommended. Some tips that may help:
* If you live in an area where fireworks are likely to be experienced by your dog (s) or cat(s), you should identify an area of the house where the noise level can be maintained at a minimum.
* Use of background noise such as radios or televisions can be utilized. It is a good idea to acclimate your pet to this area prior to Independence Day so that it is not so foreign to them. Be sure to implement appropriate measures to prevent your pet from fleeing in a panic as fear can result in very determined escape attempts.
* Be sure your dog is microchipped and that the microchip company's database has your accurate contact information. Also be sure your dog has appropriate identification tags. If travelling, utilize temporary tags that provide your immediate contact information.
* Use of air conditioning not only provides climate control but can also help drown out some of the fireworks.
* As fireworks usually peak after dark, it's a good idea to get your dog fully pottied prior to getting them secured for the duration of the celebration.
* If possible and safe to do so prior to the evening hours, engage in exercise in an attempt to fatigue your dog.
* If you have to take your dog out while fireworks are active, use a leash and a properly fitted martingale collar that helps prevent the dog from slipping out of it.
* Ensure everyone who visits your home is made aware of your plans to keep your pets safe. Place reminders such as taped up signs on doors and remember that alcohol can impair the better judgement of your guests.
* Your pet may require medicinal help to get through the season. Consult your veterinarian early to inquire how specific medications work (medications that paralyze the body while keeping the animal fully aware are not advisable in my opinion). Also inquire whether a trial run(s) may be advised.
Preplan now so your pet(s) can have a pleasant 4th of July.

May the fourth be with you!!

THE YERKES DODSON LAW

Increasing generalised arousal is essential for optimal performance BUT excessive arousal impairs performance.

What is important is that our dogs can regulate their
arousal and for some dogs this is a challenge.

Allowing a dog time to process the environment and encouraging sniffing activities are two ways you can support your dog learning to regulate their arousal.

These tags have an advantage over only having a microchip in that they are immediately able to be scanned by any smart phone (no Ap needed). Someone doesn’t have to go find a microchip scanner to get your dog's information. This looks like a great addition to my dog's security especially while traveling to have on my dog's collar. The tags require no batteries or anything since it is being powered by someone else’s phone basically. The tags are currently on sale.
