The Clinton County Canine Club offers classes in agility.
Agility is a sport where handlers guide their dogs through an obstacle course, a competition where both speed and accuracy count toward the score. Obstacles consist of a variety of ramps, tunnels, jumps, weave polls, and pause tables.
Teams can compete at American Kennel Club (AKC) Agility events to earn titles at the Novice, Open, Excellent, and Masters levels. There are several variations on rules and types of obstacles and titles can be earned for each of the variations.
The American Kennel Club has lots of information on the sport of AKC Agility and some specific tips on how to Get Started with AKC Agility. Information on a new AKC entry level agility event, the Agility Course Test (ACT) Program can be found here.
UK Agility International (UKI), the United States Dog Agility Association, Inc. (USDAA), and Canine Performance Events, Inc. (CPE) are other organizations that offer agility competition events. There are some variations between UKI, USDAA, CPE, and AKC rules and the obstacles that are used. Details can be found on their respective websites.
