agility
Agility is the ability to be quick and graceful. You might have agility on the basketball court or in the courtroom, or even with your gaming remote.
The noun agility can be used for both mental and physical skills in speed and grace. Your mental agility might allow you to follow both conversations at once. Or your brother's soccer prowess shows in his physical agility. The word agility does not have to be applied to human abilities, however: "The sailboat's agility in the water made it the perfect craft for racing."

Beginning Agility for new agility dogs
You and your dog will be introduced to the agility equipment in a positive and fun manner - with safety our highest priority. We'll begin slow and low - building upon each success, with lots of positive reinforcement for trying new things. Designed with young, growing bones and joints in mind. Everything is low-impact as we build up the pups confidence, coordination, and ability to focus.
You've both gained confidence and some control on the equipment running short sequences, and your off-leash skills are coming along. You're ready to get down to learning the Handling Skills that will be required for those more difficult courses. You will continue to improve your communication system and teamwork in order to handle those more challenging sequences. Some students by this point will choose to give trialing a try - while others will be content competing only with themselves and having fun with their dog - both types of students are welcome.
You're past the basics, you have the skills. You and your dog are working like a team. You're ready to add finesse to your performance and all the skills you two have developed together up until now.

I’ve been doing agility since 2004. I started with an English Cocker Spaniel called Sunday. I qualified with her 6 times for Agility World Championship (2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011). Her highest place was 10th in individual agility run in 2008, 12th place combined in 2010 and 5th team agility small in 2011. She is also Polish Agility Champion 2010 and winner of Polish Agility Cup 2011. She is now 12 years old and still in peak condition, crazy and happy as ever.
So far, I’ve started in agility with 4 different dogs in 3 height categories. I managed to achieve highest A3 class with all four. At the moment I’m competing mainly with my Pyrshep Brava (6 yo in February).
Our achievements so far: 
• 4th place in combined Individual Medium in Agility World Championships 2011
• 3rd place Individual Jumping Medium at European Open 2012 and 8th place Individual Medium Final
• 2nd place Individual Agility Medium in Agility World Championship 2012 in Liberec
• 1st place in team medium jumping in Agility World Championship 2014 in Luxembourg (3rd time individual in that run).
I’m preparing to compete with my youngest dog Brego, son of Brava and I’m really excited about that :).
My website with links to youtube profiles of me and Roman and our videos from competitions:
I teach agility classes since 2006 and I conduct agility seminars. So far, I had the pleasure of working with agility people and dogs in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Sweden, Slovenia, England, Norway and France. I really love meeting new teams and working with various breeds of dogs to help them achieve their full potential and have as much fun as possible in the same time.

Tapping Into Your Dog's Ability.
Through Dog Agility Training
Is your dog the star of the dog park? Does he move like a speeding bullet? Jump like a jackrabbit? Does he make the cute poodles drool and the show-offs look like fools?
Whether you can attribute this energy level to his breed type or to his personality, if he's got it, he's got to use it. You can choose to commit to giving him plenty of outdoor play time, or. you can make the most of that inherent ability. by involving him in dog agility training.
Dog agility. It's more than a growing trend. It's an outlet for your dog's natural, instinctual habits. It's a timed event, consisting of a roadmap of several obstacles, which your dog is asked to negotiate in a particular order, without fault, and under a judge-determined time limit. The pressure is on!
Think about what you know about your dog's ancestors' behavior. In the wild, dogs are required to chase and kill prey, and to also avoid being the prey. Imagine pursuit of a rabbit, for instance. That rabbit, when chased by a hungry canine, will hurdle rocks, slip under fallen logs, teeter on natural bridges, climb sheer slopes, and squeeze through brambles and thick brush. And if that dog is hungry, he'll be required to do the same. Considering the hardy survival of the canine population in the wild, we can deduct that they've been considerably successful in chasing those quick little guys. Because they're good at it!
Here's another thought. Humans are also designed to be agile. Your ancestors sprinted from saber-tooth tigers, traversed rushing rivers, zigzagged through dense forests, and chased food of their own.
So, as you may guess that I'm going to suggest. why not join your dog in a rewarding sport that plays into all that's natural and necessary..exercise, entertainment, satisfaction? All wrapped into a fast paced and elegant demonstration of adrenaline-fueled teamwork..in dog agility trials.
The History of Dog Agility
Is your Dog an Athlete?
Or Would He Rather Just Take a Seat?
Some breeds are definite underdogs when it comes to agility training. Giant breeds like Great Danes and Mastiffs usually have neither the energy nor the desire to participate. Short-nosed breeds like Boxers, Bulldogs, and some Terriers have difficulty with activities that require heavy breathing. Breeds with short legs, like Dachshunds, can have a hard time clearing the jumps.
Age can also be a factor to consider. Puppies are excluded from trials until they reach 9 months of age, and it's recommended that dogs older than 8 years of age enjoy their retirement - work free.
As we discussed earlier, a lot of your dog's ability will be determined by his personality and energy level. Don't lose heart. if you've got a snorer, a giant breed, or a little shrimp. remember that no breed is excluded from dog agility trails. If your kid's got heart, then give it a shot. On the other paw, if your guy would rather lie on your lap and not break a pant, he may be better suited to a low-impact sport, the spectator type.
Benefits of Dog Agility Training
Once you begin, and continue to improve upon, your dog's agility training, you'll notice that he's more alert, vigorous, and confident. His problem-solving capabilities will multiply. The attention that you require from him will strengthen his bond with you, reinforce basic obedience commands, and improve his communication ability. The physical demands of the dog agility courses will hone his coordination, increase endurance, and improve his overall health through physical fitness. And all of that exercise will improve his behavior off the course - because as we all know - a tired dog is a good dog.
And, yes, as for you. all of the above benefits apply. Go ahead, read the list again - it's practically guaranteed!
Are you Ready, Freddy?
Versed Things First
Besides your dog's vocabulary, his physical maturity needs to be a consideration. Dogs must be a minimum of 9 months old to compete, but that doesn't mean that every dog is ready at 9 months. Consider this: If your dog's breed is expected to reach its maximum weight at under 50 pounds, then he won't be finished growing until he's 9-12 months old. Likewise, breeds that are expected to tip the scales at over 50 pounds aren't likely to finish their upward pound-climb until they reach 10-14 months of age. Keeping this in mind, asking a puppy to clear regulation-height agility jumps before he is finished growing is a risky endeavor. His joints can't handle that kind of trauma. Jumps higher than a growing puppy's shoulder should remain out of the question. But, by all means, grounded equipment, like tunnels and boards, can be tackled as soon as the basic commands are mastered.
Dog Agility Training is no Gravy Train
Bond with your dog in a playful atmosphere. Use toys to play fetch, tug-of-war, or Frisbee to reinforce commands and bring home the idea that work can be fun for your dog. You wouldn't join your first fitness club and sign up for the advanced class on the first day. Similarly, your dog needs to work up to his best physical condition. Gradually introduce equipment, one piece at a time, in the form of short agility tunnels and low jumps. With time and continual success, tunnels may be lengthened and bars raised to regulation level. This will not only build your dog's fitness and difficulty levels at a manageable pace, but will prevent injury and frustration.
Establish commands specific to each piece of equipment. This will be helpful when directing your dog in the ring (you'll have the map of the course, he won't). Also make sure that he's confident in commands to indicate fast, slow, right, left, up, down, heel, away, etc. to keep him on course. Reward good progress with treats and lots of love. Never reprimand for missed jumps or other fumbles. If you do, your dog will quickly become frustrated and want to give up. And, remember, if your dog approaches obstacles with his head or tail down, or if he shows any reluctance at the sight of the agility equipment, then it's not fun, and it may not be the thing for him.
Your veterinarian should always be a partner in your dog's health. Before beginning agility training, have your dog's joints, heart, lungs, and eyes checked. Additionally, extra weight can hinder his performance. A little belt-cinching may be in order, and your veterinarian can offer the best food plan for your little chunk.
If you like group support and good advice (who doesn't?), then look up a dog agility club in your area. You may also be able to find a trainer that specializes in agility training. Always keep it fun. Never focus on the prize, but rather, on the special bond that you will establish with your fun-and-fitness partner.
Don't Let Sub-Standard Equipment be an Obstacle to Success
Here, I've included an overview of some of the most popular agility training equipment / obstacles and their descriptions:
Collapsed tunnels are constructed with a rigid, tubular entrance. Connected is an 8-10' fabric trailer, which the dog must push his way through.
Dog Walk:
Pause Table:
Jumps:
Not a high jump, the broad jump is made by adjoining low platforms on the ground.
The single jump is constructed of two vertical side bars, with one adjustable horizontal bar for jumping over.
The double jump is fashioned after the single jump, but rather consists of 2 sets of vertical supports, placed one set in front of the other, with horizontal bars mounted at differing heights.
Additionally, the triple jump is built using 3 sets of vertical supports and horizontal bars, at varying depths and heights, much like stair steps.
Finally, a panel jump also uses vertical supports, but rather than a bar for jumping, a solid, removal panel is utilized. Panels of varying heights are used for different height classes.
Weave Poles:
Solid, standard, equipment is essential to your dog's agility trial success. If he's inadvertently injured on sub-standard obstacles, he will be skittish and fearful of ever mounting that apparatus again. If he shows up to a trial and is introduced to foreign equipment, he will be unable to perform. Set him up for success. By purchasing, renting, borrowing, or building quality benchmark equipment, you will elicit a performance of equal excellence.
An Array of Agility
Standard Agility:
Power & Speed:
Teams:
Snooker:
Of course, each Dog Agility Association's rules vary, and not every one is offered through every organization. And, there are undoubtedly more courses available that are unique to each association. Do your homework - find an organization that is active in your area. Talk to local pet supply retailers, trainers, and shelters for more information.
Running with the Big Dogs
By now, you should have familiarized yourself with the standard agility equipment used by the association of your choice, and you should know what rules will be imposed during the trial. Surprises are never a catalyst for success.
Ready. Set. Go!
Know your organization. No leniency will be provided for misunderstanding. Disqualification is inevitable if rules are broken - excuses will not be accepted.
Plan to arrive at the site of the trial at registration time, not your run time. It's conceivable that your run time may be changed, and it's always helpful to your agility career when you have extra time to spend with professionals, helping out and learning from them.
Take along whatever your dog needs to be comfortable while he's waiting for his big moment. A safe crate and his favorite doggy toy can go a long way toward making him feel at home. Food and water are also musts. Take some time to play, so that he's not brimming over with blinding energy, and some time for rest, so that he's alert.
Agility courses generally cover about 180 linear yards within a 10,000 square foot area. You will have the opportunity to assess the course before trial time. Showtime will be the first time your dog sees the course, however. No treats, toys, or leashes are permitted in the ring at trial time. You may escort your dog to the start line on a leash, but it must then be abandoned.
Your dog will enter agility trials at the Novice level (a.k.a. Starter or No Title). As he accumulates Q's, or Qualifying Runs, he will be able to move onto the Open and Elite categories. He will earn a "Q" if he completes a run under the judge-determined Standard Course Time (SCT), without a single fault. Any of the following are considered a fault:
- Any part of the dog touches any part of a jump (obvious if a bar is knocked from the jump).
These are somewhat standard, but remember, each association's rules are unique.
No matter your dog's category, skill level, or association affiliation, one concept rings true for all agility participators. RELAX. Have fun. For your dog, this trial is just another run in the park, another practice in the back yard. Don't let nerves get the best of you - so that the crowd, and the judges, can see the best of your dog.
Porch Potatoes Need not Apply

Agility
Agility er en sport hvor hunde og mennesker arbejder sammen. Det vigtigste er, at hunden skal have det sjovt. Agility er en forhindringsbane, bestående af flere højdespring, balanceboom, vippe, A-bræt, slalom, hjul, tunnel, pose, m.m. Når banen er stillet op skal den tages i bestemt rækkefølge, og det er altid en ny bane hver gang.

Når banen er stillet op skal den tages i bestemt rækkefølge, og det er altid en ny bane hver gang. På Agilitybanen, skal hunden igennem banen hurtigst muligt uden at begå fejl, d.v.s., at hunden ikke må rive overliggerne på springene ned, på balanceboom, vippe og A-bræt skal de røre op – og nedgangen som er malet i en anden farve, forhindringerne skal tages i rigtig rækkefølge m.m.
Alle hunde uanset herkomst,
kan have glæde af at træne på agilitybanens forhindringer; men ikke alle hunde er velegnet til at deltage i Agility-konkurrencer, ligesom mange mennesker dyrker en sportsgren uden at skulle kvalificere sig til olympiaden, så kan mange hunde få stort udbytte og glæde af at arbejde på en agilitybane. En hund som arbejder på agilitybanen, lærer sin krop bedre at kende, idet den skal springe, krybe og balancere. Den lærer sine muligheder og begrænsninger at kende, og den lærer at stole på sig selv og på sin ejer/fører.
Alle hunde skal være lovpligtigt ansvarsforsikret.
Agility : Godbidder
Gode, små, bløde godbidder anbefales (f.eks. Frolic, pølser, kød, kyllingehjerter eller leverstykker). Det er forbudt at give godbidder til andre hunde på holdet.
Det er en misforstået hjælp at trække eller skubbe hunden over eller igennem forhindringerne. Hunden mister tilliden til sig selv og dig.
Agility :Indlæringsfejl
Træn aldrig alene på forhindringerne uden tilladelse fra din træner. Selv små fejl kan få store konsekvenser for hundens korrekte forcering af forhindringen senere hen.
Agility :Legetøj
Til nogle hunde kan det være mere velegnet at anvende legetøj som motivationsfaktor end godbidder. Pas på, at der ikke opstår slagsmål hundene imellem om legetøjet.
Agility :Løbetid
Tæver har ikke adgang til træningspladsen i løbetiden.
Agility : Opvarmning
Husk lidt opvarmning af hunden – og dig selv – hvis I har stået længe i koldt eller regnfuldt vejr og ventet på at skulle løbe.
Agility :Samle op
Medbring selv poser til fjernelse af din hunds eventuelle efterladenskaber og husk at bruge dem. Har du lagt en pose på området, så husk at smide den i skraldespanden, inden du forlader træningsområdet, så den ikke bliver fundet af græsslåmaskinen!
Agility :Tisse
Sørg for, at hunden har tisset af før træning. Det er strengt forbudt for hundene at lette ben op ad forhindringerne. Skulle de ved et uheld ske, skal der øjeblikkeligt vaskes af med vand samt evt. klorin.
Agility :Vejrlig
Dette begreb findes ikke i klubben, da vi træner uanset vejret, dog undtaget evt. ekstreme vejrforhold.
Rigtig god fornøjelse med jeres træning
Hundetræning stimuleres hunden både mentalt og fysisk. Hundens selvtillid og selvværd øges, og kontakten mellem hund og ejer styrkes.
Vi ser gerne, at hvalpene kommer på træningsbanen fra de er 8-9 uger. Det er dog aldrig for sent at starte til træning – uanset hundens alder.

Agility began in England in 1978 as an "intermission" between events at the Crufts International Dog Show. It was so enthusiastically greeted that it became one of the most popular dog sports. The USDAA was organized in 1986 and has grown to over 80 affiliated clubs nationwide, and more than 16,000 registered dogs. When the American Kennel club adopted agility, the sport was opened to a whole new group of dog fanciers. In fact, since its introduction, in the summer of 1994, agility has become the most popular and the fastest growing performance event in AKC history! Agility is a contest of fun, that Papillon fanciers are discovering every day.
Dog agility provides a great opportunity for people and their dogs who want to 
Agility training a puppy can start as early as 8 weeks of age. With training as simple as learning how to go over a bar or their first experience at the tunnel and the see saw. Puppies are so eager to learn and so happy to please. They really pick things up quickly. But the key to a successful training session is to keep the lessons SHORT and POSITIVE. Use lots of rewards, from special food treats to toys and pats on the head and hugs. 
Papillons are very competitive toy dogs when it come to competing in Agility. As far as the sport itself it is pretty much the same for all breeds of dogs. Handlers direct their a dogs over a timed obstacle course. Courses can be run indoors or out of

Agility hund
Der Malinois kommt nicht nur in der Polizeiarbeit zum Einsatz, er ist sogar äußerst erfolgreich im privaten Hundesport und erklimmt auf Turnieren häufig die obersten Ränge. Aufgrund seines Körperbaus, seiner herausragenden Motivation, Leistungs- und vor allem Lernbereitschaft ist ein Vertreter seiner Art nicht umsonst in den letzten Jahren Weltmeister in Deutschland geworden. Der Malinois benötigt sein Leben lang Bewegung und Beschäftigung und ist daher nur etwas für jene, die mit ihm regelmäßig die Hundeschule besuchen oder ihn zu Hause fordern. Ein Agility-Parcour ist dabei fast nicht zu vermeiden, zumal der Halter die einzelnen Elemente wie Brücken oder Barrieren dem Leistungsniveau seines Hundes anpassen und diese immer wieder verändern kann. So wird der Hund nicht nur beschäftigt, sondern lernt, immer wieder neue Hindernisse zu überwinden.
Sehr beliebt ist auch der Sprung durch einen 45 bis 60 cm breiten Reifen, der dabei auch berührt werden darf und sich an Ketten befindet, die der Höhe nach verstellt werden können. Es muss darauf geachtet werden, dass das ganze Gebilde samt Reifen standfest ist und sich der Hund nicht verletzen kann. Außerdem kann er sich im Weitsprung (zwei bis fünf flache Elemente in gleichem Abstand, über die er springen muss) oder Slalom mit bis zu zwölf Stangen, die jeweils bis fünf cm dick sind, ausprobieren. Der Abstand der Stangen muss 60 cm betragen. Üblich sind auch ein etwa 120 cm hoher und bis zu 4,20 Meter langer „Laufsteg“, eine bis zu 4,25 Meter lange Wippe und eine bis 1,70 Meter hohe Schrägwand.
Wird der Hund ohne Leine geführt, darf er vom Halter keineswegs berührt werden. Der Hund soll sich während seines Laufs lediglich auf die Körpersprache und die Stimme seines Halters konzentrieren. Er soll alle ihm vorgegebenen Hindernisse bewältigen, aber auch in der richtigen Reihenfolge. Daher sind alle Parcour-Elemente nummeriert. Der Malinois ist für diesen Sport vor allem auch wegen seiner Fähigkeit geeignet, sich stark auf etwas konzentrieren zu können. Damit ist er vielen Rassen voraus und kann den Parcour noch besser bewältigen, ohne sich vom eigenen Halter ablenken zu lassen.
Beim Agility geht es jedoch nicht nur darum, die Hindernisse fehlerfrei zu bewältigen, sondern möglichst in kürzester Zeit. Dennoch geht es neben der sportlichen Aktivität natürlich auch um den Spaß. Wichtig ist, dass der Hund gesund und stets motiviert ist.

Agility
Agility er en hundesport, som er blevet meget populær, både som konkurrence og for sjov.
Agility kommer af det engelske ord agile, som betyder rask, kvik, hurtig, smidig. Agility går ud på at hunden så hurtigt som muligt og med så få fejl som muligt gennemløber en bane med forskellige forhindringer. Hunden skal bl.a. krybe gennem tunneller, balancere på planker, springe over forhindringer af forskellig højde og længde, løbe igennem en slalom, balancere på en vippe mv.
De første Agility opvisninger fandt sted som pauseindslag ved store ridestævner i England i slutningen af 1970′erne. Det er således ikke tilfældigt at Agility kaldes en slags ridebanespringning for hunde. Siden har Agility udviklet sig til en seriøs hundesport, hvor der afholdes Verdensmesterskaber.
Det er samtidig en sport med et stort publikumstække. Ved hundestævner får man hurtigt øje på agilitybanen, hvor mange tilskuere og hundeførere er samlet og glæder sig over den hurtighed og smidighed hundene – og hundeførerne – udfører når banen med forhindringer skal gennemløbes på kortest mulig tid uden fejl.
Endnu er det ikke alle DcH afdelinger, der har Agility på programmet, men flere ser denne form for hundetræning som en spændende fornyelse og tager den derfor med i deres tilbud til medlemmerne.
Da hundeføreren i Agility uden snor skal føre sin hund gennem en bane med mange forhindringer så hurtigt som muligt, kræver det at hunden har god kontrol over sin krop, og at hundeføreren har kontrol over sin hund og med sine kommandoer og ikke mindst sit kropssprog, fortæller hunden, hvad den skal gøre. En god portion lydighed hører derfor også med, hvis hund og fører vil nå noget i denne sportsgren.
Du kan typisk begynde at træne Agility med din unghund, når den har gennemført hvalpe- og begynder/grundkursus. På det tidspunkt er hunden tilstrækkeligt udvokset. Små racer er hurtigere udviklet end store, men som hovedregel gælder, at man skal være forsigtig med at træne Agility med hunde under 12 måneder. For at deltage i konkurrencer skal hunden være 18 måneder.
Men du behøver slet ikke at tænke i konkurrencebaner for at træne Agility med din hund. Rigtig mange hundeejere træner Agility sideløbende med DcH´s andre programmer, fordi de synes at det er en god aktivering af hunden og hunden får en masse selvtillid og bliver mere lydig – og så er det rigtig sjovt for både hund og fører.
Ved konkurrencer inddeles hundene i 3 størrelser:
- Lille klasse med en skulderhøjde op til 34,99 cm.
- Mellem klasse med en skulderhøjde fra og med 35,00 cm til og med 42,99 cm.
- Stor klasse med en skulderhøjde fra og med 43,00 cm.
De 3 størrelser konkurrerer ikke mod hinanden.
De officielle klasser omfatter både Agility og Spring klasser.
- I Agility klasserne er alle forhindringer med.
- I Spring klasserne kun forskellige former for spring, tunneler og slalom.
Endvidere tilbyder DcH de uofficielle klasser junior og senior.
Både Agility og Spring er inddelt i forskellige klasser:
- Klasse 1 er for nye hunde.
- Klasse 2 er for mere trænede hunde.
