NEW: AKC Titles and Programs You Can do From Home:
During COVID AKC started offering virtual programs that could be done at home without going to a show. Each program is very different and some like the virtual rally will end December 31, 2021. Others like the virtual obedience do not crossover to the regular AKC titling in obedience. Below is the most up-to-date information from AKC (June 2021)
AKC Virtual Rally Pilot Program: (click here to learn more)
This first virtual program included Novice and Intermediate and has been expanded to include Advanced and Excellent until December 31, 2021 when AKC plans to end this program.
General Info on Titling and Application of the virtual qualification to the AKC Rally program:
The qualifying scores and titles earned virtually are the same as those earned at in-person events. You may earn a title by qualifying at either or both types of events. The RAE class is not offered in this virtual pilot program and therefore, virtual classes cannot be used to earn the RAE title where double Qs at the same event are required. Rally Championship (RACH) points will be recorded for dogs after they have earned the Rally Excellent (RE) title, for scores of 91 or better in the Rally Advanced and Rally Excellent classes in the virtual program. The scores earned virtually from December 1, 2020 and after, will not be eligible to be used to qualify for entry into the 2022 AKC Rally® National Championship event.
Obedience: Beginner Novice and Novice.
INFORMATION ON THE AKC VIRTUAL OBEDIENCE - BEGINNER NOVICE AND NOVICE PROGRAMS (click on link above to go to the AKC site for more specific rules and regulations on obtaining this title.
The Virtual Obedience Test program is a standalone program and there is no crossover to the regular AKC Obedience program titles. If you want the traditional AKC BN and CD titles and the ability to move up to Open, you must enter an AKC show to earn these titles.
Section 3. Virtual Beginner Novice Title and Requirements. The letters BN-V will be added after the name of each dog that has been certified to have received three qualifying scores in the Virtual Beginner Novice class. That dog will receive a Virtual Beginner Novice title certificate from the AKC. The letters BN-V will be followed by a numeric designation indicating the number of times a dog has met the requirements of the BN-V title as defined in the regulations. (BN-V2 for six qualifying scores, BN-V3 for nine qualifying scores, BN-V4 for twelve qualifying scores, etc
Section 3. Virtual Companion Dog Title and Requirements. The letters CD-V will be added after the name of each dog that has been certified to have received three qualifying scores in the Virtual Novice class. That dog will receive a Virtual Companion Dog title certificate from the AKC. The letters CD-V will be followed by a numeric designation indicating the number of times a dog has met the requirements of the CD-V title as defined in the regulations. (CD-V2 for six qualifying scores, CD-V3 for nine qualifying scores, CD-V4 for twelve qualifying scores, etc.)
AKC Virtual ACT Agility Program:
February 2021 – Announcing the Addition of Jumpers to the Virtual ACT Program
The AKC Agility Department is excited to announce the expansion of the virtual ACT program to include the new ACT Jumpers classes. ACT Jumpers will include 2 levels. ACT 1J which will be jumps and possibly a tunnel and ACT 2J which will include 6 weave poles.
As with the original Virtual ACT 1 & ACT 2 exhibitors will record their performance and submit it to AKC. In turn, AKC will assign a pre-selected AKC Agility Judge to virtually review and score the team’s ACT Jumpers performance.
ACT Jumpers is open to all dogs over 15 months of age and older that have not earned any AKC agility titles, except for ACT 1 or ACT 2. Dogs do not have to have an ACT 1J title to be entered in ACT 2J.
We have added new Virtual ACT Jumpers courses. We recommend you use both in the set for ease of course building. The exhibitor will follow the setup instructions provided on the course, video the performance then upload the video to YouTube and submit the link with their entry form and fee to AKC. Alternatively, the exhibitor may directly upload their video file when submitting their online entry.
