AKC FIT DOG titles offer a structured, personalized fitness regimen for you and your furry friend to enjoy together. These titles come in three levels: Bronze (FITB), Silver (FITS), and Gold (FITG). Each level demands a designated number of activity points, tailored to the title's intensity.
Bronze – 5 Points Silver – 10 Points Gold – 20 Points
Within each level, there are 6 categories of activities to choose from to earn your points.
Categories for AKC Fitness Titles:
- AKC FIT DOG Course
- Runs (such as Turkey Trot, Spring Scurry, etc.)
- Walks and hikes (Independent or Group)
- Personalized Activities for You and Your Dog (e.g., swimming, Parkour)
- AKC Titles with a Fitness Focus (e.g., FAST CAT, agility)
- AKC Parent Club Performance Titles (e.g., pack dog, sledding)
To qualify for each of the three levels of titles, a minimum number of points must be accumulated from at least two categories.
