Stay tuned - enrollment for our AKC Canine Health Foundation funded study starts this week!

Hi everybody! We are collecting data on agility facility surfaces to combine with our AKC trial information database. This is a summer student project and our students are reaching out to facilities who have hosted AKC trials in the past 10 years. If you have a facility we would love for you to contribute surface and facility information for our study! If you would like to participate and haven't been contacted yet, please email me.
