Classes Offered

FAST, JWW, JWW Premier, Premier Standard, Standard, and Time 2 Beat

All levels are offered for Standard, JWW, and FAST. Standard and JWW will run Excellent/Masters, Open, then Novice. FAST will run with all class levels combined by jump height.

Ring Information

Our venue offers a beautifully appointed agility ring indoors on artificial turf with rubber infill. Further, the heated arena offers a single 95 x 120 foot ring.

To keep our turf in tip-top condition, we ask that you wear dedicated indoor shoes when on the indoor turf. This reduces the amount of sand, gravel, dirt, mud, and grit that conspire to age our new turf prematurely. Bring a pair of outdoor shoes to wear when you need to venture into the great outdoors.

Agility obstacles will meet the specifications described in the current AKC Regulations for Agility Trials.

Junior Handlers

We love Junior Handlers. Accordingly, we welcome and encourage Junior Handlers to take part in this all-breed, mixed breed agility event. Be sure you bring your AKC Junior Handler number

Food and Sleep

Concessions are available on site. YDS will offer light breakfast choices together with lunch items.

Lodging and camping is available on site. Yellowstone Dog Sports offers RV sites with electrical hookups and tent or dry camping with access to water and bathroom/shower facilities. Dog-friendly rooms are also available. Reservations are required and lodgings sell out fast, so make your reservations early! For more information go to www.yellowstonedogsports.com.

Owing to how quickly rooms and RV spots can fill, contact Lisa Fields promptly for reservations at [email protected].

Of course, other lodging and camping is available in the area. There is no RV dump at YDS. There is an RV dump at the Town Pump in nearby Red Lodge.

Additionally, Indoor crating space for your dogs during the this agility trial is available on rubber mats over dirt in the main building. Please take only the space you need. Ex-pens should be used only if they house multiple dogs. On Friday, the building will be open for exhibitors at 7:00 am.
