Series Summary

Dog agility is a sport in which a handler directs a dog without a leash through an obstacle course in a set amount of time. It is somewhat similar to an equestrian competition, but has its own obstacles, rules and scoring system. It has been growing in popularity since the 1970’s, and spectators seem to love watching dogs display the highest levels of athleticism and training as they race against the clock. Several national organizations, including the United States Dog Agility Association (USDAA) and American Kennel Club (AKC) have more information on programs, tournaments, rules, performance standards and everything else you might need to get you and your dog on course to becoming agility champions.

In this series of free video lessons, our expert Elise Paffrath shows you the basic information you need to start agility training with your dog. You’ll learn what dogs are best for agility training, how to set up the obstacles for a dog agility course and obtain tips on maintaining focus and giving your dog positive reinforcement.
