2025 Competition Trial Dates

Dog Sports Competition

Dog Sports is a wonderful way to play and work your dog to its strengths and have fun along the way!

 

There are multiple Dog Sports available around the world and in Australia, and more pop up every week.

However, COCT Inc. affiliates with Dogs QLD, which abides by Dogs Australia (formerly known as AKNC). Our Trials are therefore under Dogs Qld rules and regulations. 

 

Some Dog Sports on offer in Australia are:

Agility                                Obedience                    Dances with Dogs                 Endurance

Rally O                              Trick Dog                      Earth Dog                             Herding

Lure Coursing                    Tracking                       Scent Work                            Draft Test     

Track and Search              Retrieving Trials            Field Trials                            Gundog Ability Tests
