Dog Agility Courses in Georgia

Dog agility training is a fast-paced sport where an owner directs a dog using speech, hand and body movements through an obstacle course in the least amount of time with the greatest amount of accuracy. Competition courses cover an area of 100 feet by 100 feet. The agility judge determines the placement of obstacles such as tunnels, jumps, weave poles, A-frames, see-saws, and dog walks. All of Georgia̵7;s dog agility courses are affiliated with training centers.
