Membership

 

Minnesota Agility Club (MAC) is home to 100–125+ active members who share a passion for the sport of dog agility. Our mission is simple: to promote the sport of dog agility by providing opportunities to compete, connect, and learn with other local handlers.

We host a wide variety of trials and events each year. While most MAC events are open to non-members, membership comes with extra perks and helps keep our volunteer-run community strong. Note that MAC is not affiliated with any training club and does not offer classes. 

Why join MAC?

  • Trials & events: Each year, MAC hosts 2 USDAA trials, 2 CPE trials, 3 UKI trials (including the Midwest Classic in May), 1 AKC trial, and 1 NADAC trial. By becoming a MAC member, you’re helping to keep these events going strong.

  • Annual awards for active members: While all volunteers earn vouchers for entry to MAC shows, members who volunteer the equivalent of a full day at a MAC trial are also eligible for year-end awards that celebrate their dogs’ achievements.

  • Annual banquet: Each January, MAC holds a banquet for members to gather and celebrate our dogs’ achievements from the past year. Our members say that they love the chance to spend time with agility friends—and make new ones!—outside of trials. 

  • Seminars: Learn from knowledgeable speakers and competitors—members get priority for working spots.

  • Community: Be part of a supportive group of handlers and agility enthusiasts from across the Upper Midwest and Canada.
