What are the active dog sport communities in Chicago?

Chicago supports very active AKC obedience and conformation, agility, dock diving, scent work, and protection sport communities. The Chicagoland conformation circuit is anchored by IKC International, the largest annual all-breed dog show in the US. Multiple agility clubs run trials year-round. The North Shore and western suburbs support a deep family obedience and board-and-train market.

What about urban dog training?

Chicago has one of the deepest urban training markets in the country given the apartment-living population. In-home trainers, group classes for city dogs, and behavior modification for urban environments (reactivity, leash work, elevator/lobby manners) are major specialties.
