Membership

Becoming a Member of ARFF Agility

All applicants must have completed basic agility training and, also, pass a simple evaluation that demonstrates knowledge of equipment safety BEFORE they receive an application.

How do I become a member of ARFF?

If you‘ve completed basic training and want to become a member, contact our Membership person (by clicking here). We will arrange a brief evaluation, a simple test to ensure that you and your dog know the safe use of the equipment, and that your dog is not aggressive. The evaluation will be at our practice field in Carlisle, MA. You will receive an application from the Membership person. Please complete it and bring it with you to the field for your evaluation. If you return the application by email prior to the evaluation, your evaluator will know a little about you before meeting you.
