You’ll also find top-level action in the Dock Jumping Championships. And do take note—all
of the sports you see at the Cynosport World Games are open to all dogs—purebred and
mixed breed.
We invite you to bring your well-mannered dog to the Cynosport World Games, as there are
many activities for you to participate in participate in for a nominal fee:
The ever-popular SplashDogs ® Dock Jumping provides some exciting moments as you to test
your dog’s mettle against some of the best dock jumpers in the country.
Or participate in the Doggie-Do-Right test, where you can introduce your dog to agility obstacles
after a brief test of basic obedience skills designed for the family pet (e.g., sit, stay, come).
You’ll also want to take a stroll through the Trade Fair and do a little shopping for the holidays

Dog agility world championships
USDAA Tournaments are divided into two divisions—the Championship Series and the
Performance Series. Each competitor can compete in only one tournament series.
The standards for competition in the Championship Series are the highest seen in international
competition around the world requiring a balance of physical conditioning and top
handling strategies.
The Performance Series utilizes standards that offer lower jumping and scaling heights, and by
placing less emphasis on the rigors of obstacle performance, places more focus on handling
strategy in the outcome.
In both tournament series, competitors’ dogs must jump in one of four height divisions. In the
Championship Series no dog may jump lower than its shoulder height. In Performance, dogs
may jump one category lower than their shoulder height
Each competitor has qualified in local, regional or national qualifying events throughout the
past year.
