NADAC - North American Dog Agility Club

Overview:
NADAC places great emphasis on safety, with equipment specs including a breakaway tire (when used) and shorter chute. The table is rarely used. Courses tend to be wide open with a lot of distance between obstacles, although recent rule changes are producing courses which are more "twisty" than they used to be. Standard course times are faster than those for AKC or USDAA. Refusals are not penalized at any level.
