Club Member Finishes 3rd at National Agility Competition!

What a year for Little Rock Dog Training Club! Eight LRDTC members earned their spot at the 2026 AKC National Agility Championship — and club member Ellen Hutchins and her Standard Poodle Birdie made the trip to California to represent us in style. The duo made it all the way to Finals, finishing 3rd place in the 20" Preferred jump height class. We couldn't be more proud!

A huge congratulations to every LRDTC team that qualified — earning a spot at Nationals is no small feat, and this group proved that Little Rock dogs (and their humans!) can compete with the best in the country.
