So you've heard of agility and you're wondering what this agility stuff is. Basically, it's an obstacle course for dogs. Dogs go over jumps, weave through poles, go through tunnels, walk over teeter-totters, and perform many other obstacles in a timed event.
Time counts as do accuracy and safety.
If you miss an obstacle, do the obstacles in the wrong order or take too long, you will be marked down. In addition, you can be marked down for unsafe performances and for swearing. Unlike flyball, there is no standard course in agility. The order, location, size and color of the obstacles can vary from location to location so each course is different. In the United States, four national organizations and several breed clubs sanction agility trials.
