YES but there are more unstable dogs in AKC then SchH. There are no temperment requirements to do AKC as in the SchH BH.
In SchH your the only dog on the field other then one doing a long down. Even that dog is rarely closer then anything you'll run into in the AKC ring. You'll see people "practicing" right outside the ring your competing in.
AKC usually has 4-6 rings that butt up against one another so you may be competing in one class while a group of 12-14 dogs is doing a long sit/down within feet of your heeling pattern and those dogs are only 3 ft away from one another.
One advantage (maybe) to AKC is that you don't make a move without the judge saying so. He tells you when to move forward, right turn, left turn, halt, leave your dog, call your dog, etc.

:shocked: wow. I see. Thank you, Bob.
My deepest respect to Frost and Ingrid
Double wow! Bob, thanks for the detailed explanation of what's involved in Utility. I had no idea...
Thank you all for the congrats! Frost did not Q today but showed nice work nevertheless. I am thrilled with her performances even if they were not Q'ing. As Bob explained wonderfully, Utility is very stressful mentally and given Frost's age, I could not ask for more than she gave me this weekend :-)
On a lighter note, Tessa got her BN (Beginner Novice) title this weekend in straight succession and even managed to get a 2nd and 4th place along the way! Tessa is nearly 13.5 years old, a little deaf, and a lot slow but still was a happy girl who waddled her way to a title this weekend. She truly entertained everyone with her "performance"
