Dog friendly Holidays: Dog agility
What is dog agility?
Dog agility is the most well-known and practiced canine discipline, where the dog, with the support of the owner, must try to complete a course, which can range from 100 to 200 meters, overcoming a series of obstacles (12 to 20, depending on the level of difficulty) in the order prescribed, in the shortest possible time and avoiding penalties.
