Woofer Wash is a member of the Garden City Chamber of Commerce.

Andrea will compete against the top dogs in the country. During the event, Andrea and Chase will run the timed agility course, off-leash, striving for a perfect score of 100. Any missed obstacles or other mistakes result in penalty faults which are deducted from the score.

Agility, the AKC's fastest-growing canine sport, allows dogs to demonstrate their nimble nature and versatility by maneuvering a challenging course of obstacles, including tunnels, weave poles, jumps and seesaws. The top five ranked agility dogs in each of the 158 AKC recognized breeds are invited to attend this prestigious event. In addition, this competition is open to the qualifying international agility competitors in their respective countries.
