Most dogs love to romp and play - and they love to spend time with their favorite person, you. Agility training combines the best of both worlds. Your dog gets the exercise he craves and the two of you have the opportunity to deepen your bond as you spend time practicing. Most of all, you'll both have lots of fun.

Many dogs were originally bred to work - herding sheep, rooting out rodents, hunting fowl. Without a "job," certain breeds can become bored or develop behavioural issues. When agility training becomes your pet's "job", he'll look forward to it. He may even stare wistfully at his training equipment on the days you don't use it.

As your dog learns to leap through rings, run through tunnels and weave between poles, you'll notice that his confidence will climb and his eagerness to learn more will continue to grow.
