This new event consists of dogs and owners working together as teams to complete an obstacle course. The owner gives direction and serves as the coach, while the dog completes the timed course.
Agility is truly an enjoyable activity for a Briard.
Of the AKC sanctioned events, agility is the most fun for the animal. The dog enjoys the challenge, fast pace, and freedom that Agility has to offer. Briards and owners bond, as they work through the challenges of each obstacle. Agility is a strenuous activity for both dog and owner, thus, proper conditioning is critical. It is also important to not start the young Briard too soon, as the bone and joints are not fully developed in the young animal.
