What is Jumping/Agility?
Jumping and Agility are fast-paced dog sports where the handler (you!) directs their dog around an obstacle course. The course can include jumps, tunnels, weave poles, an a-frame and a dog walk. The aim of the game is to complete the course without making any mistakes and the fastest time wins.
Dogs of most shapes and sizes love jumping and agility because it is fun, they get to run and they get lots of rewards! There are 9 obstacles to learn as well as the handling techniques to navigate your dog around a course, giving you plenty of new dog training challenges!
