Agility is a dog sport where the handler directs a dog around a course of about 20 obstacles against the clock. Obstacles include hurdles and tyres, tunnels, seesaws, ramps, and weave poles. Dog agility began in Britain in the late 1970s and spread to almost all of Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the US. Agility in Australia started in 1984, and it became a national sport within two years.

Dog agility is based on the equestrian sport of showjumping and, just like in showjumping, dogs are required to perform obstacles correctly and within the time allowed; there are penalties for knocking down jump bars, refusing obstacles, and not performing them correctly or in the right order. The fastest dog with no penalties wins.

Agility is the fastest growing dog sport in the world, and if you and your dog get into it, you’ll understand why. It's harder than it looks, but it's a great way to have fun with your dog and develop the great relationship that comes from working together as a team.
