Dog agility is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States. It originated in England as entertainment and was modeled after horse steeplechase. Most dogs think agility is fun, at least as long as their people think it is fun.
One of the things I like about dog agility is that it is such a fun and friendly sport that it appeals to a wide variety of people. And people who might otherwise not ever have been motivated to really learn about their dogs, do learn. Dog agility really enriches the lives of the dogs. People who play with their dogs, stay with their dogs.
