Dog Agility training is all about building communication between the dog and handler. By navigating obstacles such as weave poles, tire jumps, hurdles, and see-saws, agility demonstrates not only a dog’s athletic ability but also their willingness to work with their handler to conquer the course. This fast-paced, beat-the-clock sport is fun for spectators and competitors alike!
