How do you keep track of your dog's runs and results? I've received email results from the trial secretary for each of the trials we've participated in, but it only includes qualifying runs. I think I would like to keep a record of every run. I can't remember where, but I think I've seen some kind of agility log book. Does anyone use one of these and if you do, where did you find it?

I only care about the Q's. : ) All of my NQ's right now are recovery from a meltdown, and not the result of handling or training issues, so I don't feel the need to keep those.
Years ago, with my second obedience dog, I received her title in the mail three days after her third and fourth (insurance) legs. I knew the AKC wasn't quite that fast. When I called, a judge had made a mistake in a judges book, and awarded a Q that we didn't earn. Since they won't challenge a judges book in that case, she really has five CD legs. Anyway, I figure that can go the other way just as easily, so I keep all the duplicate scribe sheets and a copy of the course if I have it. I keep them in a binder in those plastic sheet protectors, then when the title comes, I just slide that with the other records. I only do AKC agility, so it's not too onerous. I don't keep course times or yardages.

Oh, and just a side note, AKC licensed trial secretaries are required to submit their results electronically, so any error will happen at the trial, not at the AKC. This is why you should check the sheets at the trial, not the next day or a week later.

I only really keep track of Qs, too. I use a nifty Excel spreadsheet for that.
I have video of all of our runs, but only keep track (on "paper") of Qs.
I have a friend who uses this: http://www.cleanrun.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=491&ParentCat=89 and it seems really cool. I just tend to get bogged down in the details, and I don't want to start that with agility.

I use Agility Record Book, http://www.agilityrecordbook.com/index.php. Its a free software that covers the majority of the venues. Its not the most obvious software to use but once you figure it out its not too bad.

I use this too. I like it because 1. It was free and 2. It kinda keeps tracks of my titles. Which I like. I try to take notes in it (like why he didn't Q or what not), but after awhile, I realized I don't really read it again. But it's still nice to write, "Got his title on this leg". LOL.
Here are some snippets of the main pages. There are other things like calendar/training that I don't use.
1. All trials, All runs listed
2. One trial highlighted, with it's runs listed
3. Titling Points page
Here's the full versions of the photos.
