Many club members have fun competing in AKC Agility events. Agility
is a sport involving both the handler and a dog where the handler directs the dog through obstacles in a race for both
time and accurancy. The handler's controls are limited to body signals and voice requiring exceptional training
skills and a bond between the handler and the dog. The courses are created by the judge and vary depending on the
level of competition. The most common courses are: - Standard - typicially includes many different types of obstacles including tunnels, a-frame,
jumps, weaves, dog walk, teeter totter, chute, and table
- Jumpers - typically
includes jumps and weaves
AKC offers various levels of competition
including Novice, Open, Excellent, and Master titles, and to learn more about Agilty please visit the AKC Agility web site.
