The Sport of Dog Agility
Dog agility is a team sport where the handler directs his dog through an obstacle course in an effort to perform each obstacle correctly so as not to be disqualified and at the same time running the course as fast as possible in order to have the fastest time.

The Teeter
The Tunnel
The Dog Walk
The A-Frame: this obstacle takes courage as the dog is about 6 feet in the air.
The Jumps
The Pause Table
The Triple Jump
The Teeter: the dog must touch the yellow contact zone before it leaves the teeter.
Navigating the Tunnel to the Dog Walk (as fast as possible!)
The Dog Walk: speed and accuracy are a must to win the run.
The Jump: If the dog knocks the bar off, he is disqualified from the run.
The Pause Table: It looks easy but for the energetic dog this can be the hardest obstacle.
The Pause Table: The dog must sit or lay on the Pause Table for five seconds before coming off the table.
The Weave Poles: The dog must weave in and out of these poles without making an error.
The Collapse Tunnel: This is a cloth tunnel that engulfs the dog as it runs through to the end. This one takes courage for the dog to learn.
