LEAP is an AKC agility club with about 100 members from MA, CT, RI and NY.

The idea for establishing a new agility club was motivated by a need for a local agility club to host AKC trials in the area. Before LEAP, the AKC agility trials in the area were hosted by obedience or breed clubs, and most of LEAP's founding members had worked with other clubs to host agility trials. As a result, LEAP began with a wealth of experience, enthusiasm, and dedication!

Our Objectives are to

Promote agility training.

Disseminate knowledge regarding agility training.

Coordinate agility training sessions for dogs and/or handlers.

Encourage the training of judges.

Promote cooperation, harmony, and good sportsmanship among members in the training and exhibiting of dogs.
