Dog Sports
Precision and reliability for every canine discipline
Professional timing
Introduction
Dog sports test the connection, agility, speed, and endurance of the dog-handler team. From Agility Dog to Canicross, from Sleddog to water disciplines such as Dock Diving and Water Rescue, every specialty requires reliable, intuitive, and precise timing systems.
Microgate solutions use the same professional technologies employed in top-level sports, guaranteeing operational continuity, ease of management, and absolute precision in time detection in every competitive environment.

Examples of configurations:
flexible and customizable
Microgate systems for dog sports integrate ReiPRO and RTpro timers, HiSens photocells, contact plates, and LED display boards to guarantee simple, smooth, and professional competition management. Configurations can be adapted to different disciplines, from individual runs to Mass Start races.

Configuration 1
Agility Dog
For Agility Dog competitions, the system uses wireless HiSens photocells positioned at different heights to detect dogs of all sizes, contact plates for obstacles, and the ReiPRO timer for course management. By integrating MicroGraph LED boards, live times and rankings can be displayed in real time, ensuring maximum visibility for spectators and judges.
Configuration 2
Canicross e Sleddog
In Canicross and Sleddog competitions, the timing system is similar to the one used in Nordic skiing. HiSens photocells at the start and finish are connected via cable or radio to the RTpro timer to calculate net times and rankings. For distributed race courses, the HiChrono app can transmit timing data, while active transponders can be integrated for Mass Start races.
Configuration 3
Dock Diving and Water Rescue
In water disciplines, the Microgate system guarantees precision and operational simplicity. In Dock Diving, a HiSens photocell detects the dog’s start while the system measures the time until the toy is retrieved. In Water Rescue competitions, the ReiPRO timer is manually operated by judges to measure the different phases of the exercise, such as the time needed to reach the victim.
