Dog Agility was first introduced at Crufts in 1978 and involves harmony between the dog’s fitness and the handler’s ability to direct the dog over and through certain obstacles like jumps, tunnels and weave poles.
Anyone dog (size or breed) that is registered with The Kennel Club can take part in competitions or skills can be acquired just for personal development.
