Agility is a fast-paced and entertaining team activity for you and your dog. Your dog will be taught to perform a series of tasks on your command, including:

​

• Running through tunnels

• Jumping over hurdles

• Weaving through a series of upright poles

• Jumping through tyres

• Running up and over ramps and seesaws

 

Agility training is an excellent way to combine fun and exercise for both you and your dog. Your dog must be fit, and so should you, as you will need to run alongside your dog.
