Agility is a sport that is typically associated with dogs, but can be used with any type of pet. It involves the pet navigating an obstacle course that is laid out by the handler (owner). The course is made up of several different obstacles including jumps, tunnels, weave poles, and contact equipment. The handler guides the pet through the course using verbal cues, hand signals, and body language. The goal of agility is to complete the course as quickly and accurately as possible.
