United States Dog Agility Association
"Promoting Competitive Excellence in Dog Agility"SM
We are United States Dog Agility Association, Inc. (USDAA), the world's largest independent authority for the sport of dog agility, with more than 22,000 registered competitors and more than 30,000 dogs representing more than 200 different breeds of dogs, including mix-breeds. USDAA represents more than 120 affiliated groups conducting more than 500 days of events each year throughout the continental United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Spain and Japan.
Organized in 1986 to introduce the sport of dog agility to North America, USDAA adopted the motto "Promoting International Standards for Dog AgilitySM , patterned after the British standards for the sport. Since that time, USDAA has evolved into an international organization with the most comprehensive and diverse certification and competition programs for dog agility anywhere in the world.
USDAA is a owner and producer of three international tournament series - the Grand Prix of Dog Agility® World Championships, its flagship event, the $10,000 Dog Agility Steeplechase®speed jumping tournament series, and the Dog Agility Masters® Three-Dog Team Championship. Each has enjoyed national television coverage in recent years, with the "Grand Prix" being the longest running tournament series in the western hemisphere and one of the most prestigious tournaments in the sport today. The Grand Prix has drawn competitors from fifteen countries on five continents.
As evidence of the pioneering spirit and leadership role of USDAA and its supporters, we count among our accomplishments -

USDAA has continued its innovative ways into the 21st century and maintains an active leadership role by "Promoting Competitive Excellence in Dog AgilitySM".
In 2000, USDAA set out to further its programs through international alliances by becoming a charter member in the International Federation of Cynological Sports (IFCS), a nonprofit organization headquartered in Russia whose principal purpose is to organize cynological sports world wide after the "Olympic Ideal", promoting sport as a means of educational exchange and interaction of competitors among nations in amateur sport on a nondiscriminatory basis. Through IFCS and efforts of its own, USDAA has established affiliations in more than a fifteen countries on six continents. With its new alliances, USDAA created World Cynosport Ltd. as its international arm, as it continues to grow its list of licensed and affiliated groups, its competitor base and list of noteworthy accomplishments -
