What is Dog Agility?
Agility training is a wonderful way to release some of your dogs pent-up energy and maintain their fitness; while also exercising their brain and training them to problem solve. Dogs of all sizes, and breeds can play agility. Dogs complete an obstacle course consisting of jumps, tunnels, teeters, weave-poles, and more! Handlers direct their dogs through the course with the goal of completing it as quickly and accurately as they can. Agility is a great way to establish a strong bond with your dog, build their confidence and keep them mentally stimulated.
