DOCOF (Dog Obedience Clubs of Florida) and DACOF (Dog Agility Competition of Florida) are state-wide competitions where all the participating clubs and schools come together in Orlando and compete against each other. The purpose of this annual competition is to provide the opportunity for handlers and dogs to represent their organization in competition as a team. We are always proud of the USDTC tournament teams for their sportsmanship and achievements.
