OKPaws K9 Sports Club

Home

The OKPaws K9 Sports Club was organized in 1991 and was formed under the rules of the United Kennel Club [UKC]. It is a volunteer Club dedicated to the sport of Agility, Flyball, Tracking, and Rally Obedience. We also have members that belong to many other different dog clubs around Oklahoma City, such as freestyle (dance), schutzhund, and obedience.

OKPAWS members are here to have fun with their dog(s) and socialize with people that have the same passion. We try to make every event and seminar as enjoyable as possible for you and your dog(s). You will get a variety of information about the canine community, and you’ll be surprised just how much is out there. Most of all, you will develop friendships that will last for years.

For information on the club, classes, and what we have going on right now, please email: info@okpaws.com

Agility

Agility is a timed event where the handler and dog work together to complete a series of obstacles. It involves obstacles such as jumps and hurdles, tunnels, weave poles, "A" Frames, dog walks, teeter-totters, and pause tables.

We are a UKC club that holds 2 UKC agility trials per year. As members, we have included use of our agility field for practice, fun runs, and classes.

OKPaws offers classes for green beginners to the most advanced competitors. See our agility class page for information.

Flyball

Flyball races two teams of four dogs each, racing side-by-side over a 51 foot long course. Each dog must run in relay down 4 jumps, trigger a flyball box releasing a tennis ball which the dog must return to the handler, running back over the 4 jumps. The next dog is released as the previous dog has returned over all 4 jumps.

We are a group of people who want to have fun with our Dogs. We are all fairly new to Flyball and learning it together. We race under United Flyball League International (U-Fli). We have practices where we work together as a team to train our dogs in Flyball.

If interested in joining us or just to watch and see if it will be something you might be interested in you're welcome to come on out and play.

Practice is at the OKPaws Agility Field on Sunday mornings starting at 9:00 a.m. We also Practice at Canine Sports Academy from time to time, usually before a tournament. Always check out our calender to see where and when we will be. Also please join our google group, Oklahoma weather is never predictable, so cancellations are usually at last minute. So Check you e-mail before you head out to practice.

Rally Obedience

Rally obedience is done with a series of signs, designed on a course. You and your dog execute a particular task at each sign on a set course, such as U turn, about turns, sit, etc. It is fun and not as rigid as traditional obedience competition.

Open practice is held Monday evenings at the Midwest City National Guard Armory.
