DOGS NSW

AGILITY COMMITTEE

Lets Go!

Agility is a dog competition open to all dogs, which was originally developed from equestrian show jumping.

The aim of this competition is for a handler to direct his dog around a course of different obstacles to assess and enhance their intelligence and ability. It is an educational and sporting activity intended to improve the dog's integration into society. The sport requires a good rapport between dog and handler which results in perfect teamwork.Whilst speed of the dog is to be desired, steadiness of work is essential to a faultless performance of the course.

The overall objectives of Agility Trials are:

to encourage a graded progression through the sport.
to encourage new participants and new ideas and the continuance of Agility as a unique canine discipline
to encourage an increased level of fitness for dog and handler
to encourage safe and pleasant competition for all
