What is Dog Agility?
Dog agility is a competitive sport that challenges a person's training and handling skills of dogs over a timed obstacle course. Competitors race against the clock as they direct their dogs to jump hurdles, scale ramps, burst through tunnels, traverse a see-saw and weave through a line of poles. Scoring is based upon faults combined with run time.
