Agility is a fast paced sport where a dog and handler team navigate a series of obstacles such as jumps, tunnels, weave poles and contract equipment.  The goal is to complete the course as quickly as possible without faults such as missed contacts or knocked bars.  Dogs compete at various levels depending on their demonstrated skill.  They start at the Novice level and move to Open then Excellent as they earn qualifying scores at each level.  All AKC registered breeds are eligible to compete as well as altered mixed breeds registered through the PAL program at AKC.
