Agility / Dog Jumping
Dog agility is a fast-paced sport where handlers guide their off-leash dogs through a timed obstacle course - these obstacles include jumps, tunnels, weave poles and contact equipment (A-frame, dogwalk and a see-saw).
The goal is for the dog and handler team to accurately navigate a course in the fastest time possible. This is a fun discipline which actively grows the bond between handler and dog as it provides both mental and physical stimulation.
