Agility is a fast-paced, exciting dog sport with great spectator appeal. It is an excellent test of the partnership between the handler and the dog. The design of the course changes with every round. Jumping courses are similar to agility but do not contain the contact obstacles / ramps i.e. the A-frame, dog walk or see-saw.
