Awards and Recognition

RAVE (Rainier Agility Vote of Excellence)

This award is presented each year to someone that has gone above and beyond in their contribution to the sport of dog agility. The recipient does not need to be a Member in Good Standing or even a RAT  member. But, best of all, the recipient is selected by you! (You must be a Member in Good Standing in order to vote)
