Benefits of Agility


Dogs are working animals and need something to do. Agility is a sport that demands intelligence, speed and teamwork and gives dogs a job while providing good physical and mental exercise. Some dogs get bored in obedience training because it’s usually a low-key, controlled environment. When doing agility, you are actively training and progressing together, creating a long-lasting bond. Your dog gets to run and jump and gets a reward for it! This makes agility naturally fun and exciting for dogs! Because you and doggy are becoming a team, you will notice her becoming more attentive and focused on you. Building new skills slowly and creating confidence on obstacles can help bring shy dogs out of their shell too. Weekly agility class is an opportunity for doggy to socialize with other canine participants. Handlers can get to know fellow members of the dog-loving community, have fun, and get a little exercise! Agility is something for you and doggy to look forward to each week and we certainly hope you do!
