The major events in agility, rally and obedience will be live-streamed on AKC.tv, which will include the AKC Agility Invitational, the AKC National Tracking Invitational, and the AKC Obedience Classic, in addition to the 2019 AKC National Championship presented by Royal Canin.

The Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge will be held for its 22nd straight year, though the date and location has not been set as of this writing. Likely it will be held in late spring and then air on the NBC family of channels over the summer.

The NAFA CanAm Classic, the biggest tournament in the sport of flyball, will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana in October, which will be the 11th year of the event.

Batdogs like Jake the Diamond Dog or the Myrtle Beach Pelicans’ Slider will entertain fans across minor league baseball stadiums around the country, many teams will host Bark in the Park nights for fans to bring their own pups along, and in hockey there are many service dogs in training with the New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators and others.
