What is Agility?
The aim of dog agility is to guide your dog through a series of obstacles within a course time. The skill levels involved range from good obedience control for Starter Agility through to advanced commands at senior level.
There are numerous agility events throughout Scotland and points gained at Kennel Club sanctioned events in the UK are totalled annually to produce the top agility dog within each region at each working level.
If you want to take part in agility, whether that be just for training purposes or with competition in mind, all you need is a dog with basic obedience training, this is where Prestwick and District can help. Agility is physically beneficial to both dog and handler but most importantly it is a tremendously enjoyable way to enjoy some quality time with friends, canine and human alike.
