AKC events offer pet owners an exciting way to bond with their dogs while building training, confidence, and teamwork. Whether it’s obedience, rally, agility, or trick dog, there’s something for every dog—purebred or mixed! Many events, like Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and Farm Dog Certified (FDC), are beginner-friendly and open to all.

For mixed breeds or purebreds without AKC registration, enroll in AKC Canine Partners or the PAL (Purebred Alternative Listing) program to earn official AKC titles, ribbons and compete in various sports.
