Agility is a fun sport for you and your dog. It is highly recommended that your dog be trained in basic obedience. Dogs are required to work off lead and away from their handlers in this sport, so control can mean the difference between success and failure.

     Agility is a new sport in the AKC and new clubs are forming around the country.Findng a local Breed Club or Obedience Club in your area can lead you to people that are active in this sport. Classes in agility are held by the agility clubs so that you and your dog can get familiar with the rules and equipment.

     I have observed that dogs with advanced obedience titles seem to gain agility titles faster than those that started with little or no obedience training. The reason an advanced obedience dog (one with a CDX or a UD) might do better in agility is that they are already accustomed to working independant of the handler. These dogs and handlers are very much a team.

     I will be including pictures of the various obstacles used in agility soon.
