Wondering what Agility is?

Agility is comprised of contact and non-contact agility.
In contact agility, dogs negotiate a series of obstacles including a dog walk, an A-frame and a seesaw which have contact areas that must be touched by the dog.
Non-contact agility does not have the contact obstacles but still has hurdles, a wall, tyre, tunnels, long jump and weave poles.

What about dog jumping?

Dog Jumping is similar to non-contact agility but with less obstacles, start and end poles and slightly different rules. Clear rounds can go through to a jump off against the clock.
