AGILITY

Picture
Agility is a sport in which a dog, under the guidance of a handler, runs through an obstacle course full speed, while having to perform accurately and safely on A-Frames, Dog Walks, See-Saws and a wide variety of jumps and tunnels.  Each run is timed and scored with the goal of completing the course with the highest score possible.  To acquire an agility title, a dog must earn three (3) qualifying scores per class level under at least two different judges.  Courses differ by level of difficulty, and number and type of obstacles.

Standard Courses include all of the contact obstacles as well as jumps, tunnels, and weave poles.  All competition obstacles may be included in these courses.  Dogs must clear all obstacles in a pre-set order within an allowed course time.

Jumpers With Weaves Courses exclude contact obstacles, limiting the course to jumps, tunnels and weave poles.  Dogs must clear all obstacles in a pre-set order within an allowed course time.

FAST stands for "Fifteen and Send Time".  Dogs must demonstrate the ability to work at a distance away from the handler.  Obstacles are given a point value and a "Send" must be completed.  Handlers direct dogs over various obstacles attempting to accumulate as many points as possible, but must complete the send exercise in order to qualify
