Overview

Agility is one of the most rewarding advanced activities you can do with your dog. It teaches a wide range of new skills, strengthens your training relationship, and provides excellent mental and physical exercise for both you and your dog. Beyond fitness and fun, agility also helps to improve focus, impulse control, and calm behaviour. Agility training typically consists of guiding your dog through a sequence of obstacles in the correct order by using verbal cues, body language, and handling techniques*. This requires communication, teamwork, and consistency, and is highly satisfying once mastered. Many owners find that agility builds confidence and enhances the bond between them and their dog in a unique way.
