If you’re interested in agility training, it’s probably because you think your dog will have fun doing it and there is absolutely no better reason to give it a try. But there are plenty of other benefits to be had, whether it’s on a formal agility course or out in the real world.

Do you think about pursuing dog sports but aren’t sure where to start?

People who like sports - from a casual game of catch to the intensity of the pro leagues - are motivated by a variety of benefits, and the same is true for canines.
