 | Agility is a fun sport In which dog and handler work together as a team to | |
| negotiate a series of obstacles - jumps, tunnels, tire jumps, seesaws, etc. - to complete a course within the allowed time and with the best score possible. There is a variety of courses, each with its own rules and challenges: Standard, Gamblers, Team Relay, Snooker, Steeplechase, and Jumpers. |
| Agility is open to all dogs, purebred or not. Because the obstacle course layout | |
| changes for each event, the dogs never get bored. No two courses are alike! It's great for those dogs that always seem to be thinking (and acting) one step ahead of everyone else. It's also a sport open to all sizes of dogs, as the obstacle heights are changed, depending on the dog. |
| Basic obedience is an advantage: sit, down, stay, come. If your dog can do this, | |
| he/she probably can do agility. It can be tough on heavier dogs, however, and young dogs also are always kept lower jump heights, until their bones mature. | ||
| Agility is also a great spectator sport! There's lots of action, cheering for favorites | |
| and a great lot of laughter when human and dog don't quite see eye to eye. |
