Agility is an extremely popular sport in which a dog, directed by a handler, navigates a series of obstacles, which the dog must perform correctly. The dog with the fastest time wins. “Faults” on any particular obstacle, result in a time penalty being added to the run. It’s an enjoyable sport for the dog, handler, and spectators too!
