What is dog agility? 

What is dog agility? It's a great sport that involves you and your dog working together, as a team, toward a common goal. It's entertaining to watch, and it's an addicting sport for the participant.

Dog agility is one of the fastest growing dog sports in the World. From its early beginnings in England, dog agility was created from the idea of horse show jumping and made it's debut as a demonstration in the UK at Crufts Dog Show in 1978.

How does it work? You, as the handler, direct your dog through an obstacle course of tunnels, jumps, dog walks, a-frames, weave poles, chutes and teeter totters, in a race for time and accuracy.

You aren't allowed to touch your dog, or the obstacle, your dog runs off-leash, and you use your body movement and your voice to direct your dog through the dog agility course.

It's a sport of strategy, athleticism, strength, and speed for both you and your dog. It's invigorating, rewarding, fun, entertaining and an amazing sport to watch and participate in, whether you are a beginner or an expert.

Visit this great page for a very thorough and complete explanation of dog agility on Wikipedia! And check out this page on the History of Agility!

Thanks Ken Siems for great pic!

How to get started in agility. 

I got started in agility, because I was a hyper little guy from the very beginning.

Mom took me to an obedience class, where I began by failing miserably. But I got better, and achieved Most Improved! Someone in the class told us about agility, so Mom went right home and searched on the Internet for resources.

There is a lot of info already on the Internet. So we're not going to attempt to start over! But we will definitely give credit where credit is due. Thanks to those who have put together such useful info.

Here are some great links to get you started:
