History
Club Agilité Canin de St-Lazare (CAC) has a rich history. It is the oldest agility club in Quebec, founded in 1992 by Irene Krebs who became the first Quebec Director for the Agility Association of Canada (AAC). Since its inception, CAC has been at the forefront of agility in Quebec. In 1994, the club hosted the province’s first agility trial under AAC rules and in 2000 became the first agility club in Quebec to earn Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) accreditation.
CAC promotes the well-being of dogs and encourages responsible dog ownership.
In addition to classes, social activities and demos in the community, the club hosts both an AAC and CKC agility trial annually.
What Is Dog Agility?
Agility is a fun, fast-paced dog sport that offers both physical and mental challenges for dogs and handlers. The handler uses voice and body cues to direct the dog over ever-changing courses of obstacles that include jumps, tunnels, weave poles, tables, dog walks, A-frames and seesaws. The objective is to navigate the course with both accuracy and speed.
Agility has something to offer every dog and handler - whether a dynamic, athletic duo heading for competition or a team just looking to have fun. In its best form, agility can be described as a “smooth and beautiful dance”, demonstrating the ultimate in human/canine communication. In the process of achieving that goal, it is immensely enjoyable for both the dog and the handler and truly improves their bond and communication.
All breeds of dogs (including mixed breeds) are welcome, from the very smallest to the largest. The club has members of all ages - including Junior Handlers as well as senior handlers.
