What is Agility?

A video I made for a presentation on Dog Agility. It is a very basic introduction to the sport and the most common obstacles and doesn't go into all the finer details and rules of competition (which vary greatly between different organizations). The dog featured at the end ("lets watch it all together now at a real trial" part) is my very own Dazzle. The filming was done at local agility trails including NADAC and AKC events. Some of the dogs in the video (sorry, I can't remember everyone's name!): Harley, Quickie, Sabre, Wendell, Stone, Elf, Dazzle, Cheers, Trooper, Pinot, Spike, Zesty, Missy, Peanut, Glory, Colin, Crystal, Lucky, Althea, Crystal, Lacey, Zoe, Scamp, Ricky, Bonsai, Gretchen, and Gael. Enjoy!

This is a very helpful video! When I ask some people if they know what dog agility is, they go Huh? What? It gets a little annoying to explain over and over and back and again! Maybe I should just send this video to them all!

Well great! That is exactly what I made this video for - to help with those blank looks! Thank you!

What a great video! My wife has been doing agility with our dogs for about 10 years now, and when I try to explain Agility to people, they always get a blank look on their faces, or refer to "doing tricks" or Best In Show type events. Now I know where to refer them to get a good example of the sport. Video worth thousand words. BTW, you're an excellent agility handler and video producer.
