Dog agility is a sport that will increase the bond you have with your dog whether you do it competitively or just for fun. It is a sport for almost all breeds of dogs which can help to keep them physically and mentally active throughout their lives.

It involves a handler guiding their dog around a course with up to 20 obstacles in it, against the clock. It’s a bit like horse show jumping but with dogs and the handler running round with them.

You can download an “Agility Beginners Guide” from the Kennel Club with some tips and explanations of agility here.

There’s also a similar description on the Agility Club’s Website
