So what's agility? Jumping through hoops? Doing some kind of tricks?

LOL, I'd like to see Ali jumping through a hoop!

Agility is like how fast your dog can do the agility test.. or anything to do of this sort

We have published an article on the main site which answers What Is Agility Training?

I saw an agility competition once. What those dogs can do is absolutely amazing! They have fantastic handlers/owners and they are very well trained dogs. It's a joy to watch.

I haven't seen one before. I really want to though. Don't they have it somewhere on t.v?

I'm thinking of getting an agility dog soon. I wanted to put Ranger in it, but time passed and well. I dont think he can do it any more

Our behaviorist does agility with her dogs. We've tried it with our little one and it really isn't that hard. It will take tons of time to get good at it but it really is a blast and a great way to bond with your dog. Many dog training clubs have agility classes now so it shouldn't be too hard to get started in.

Keepers is going to start individual agility classes next fall.

Agility includes jumping, jumping through hoops, tunnels, climbing an A frame and a teeter. I think in a lot of ways your dog's desire and ability to learn are more important than their athleticism.
