If you recently watched the Westminster Dog Show, you may have seen the field dominated by Border Collies and Shetland Sheepdogs. But with agility being one of the fastest growing dog sports, you will soon find out that dogs of all breeds and sizes compete. But if you are like me, and have a love for small or “lap dogs” don’t worry, you can have fun too!
Even if you never plan to compete, agility can be a fun way to bond with your dog. It is also great exercise for you too! See our post Small Dog Agility: 4 Reasons to Participate, on why we think this is the best sport in the world!
We are happy to be joining Wordless Wednesday, hosted by BlogPaws! Be sure to check out all the wonderful pet bloggers joining in today!
Although I write about cats, I was brought up with both cats and dogs (and guinea pigs, mice, rabbits etc etc!). Dogs are so intelligent and I love watching dog agility classes. There should be more of them on TV in my opinion.
Agility equipment in your backyard sounds awesome! Looking forward to more posts.. Good luck with the AtoZ challenge
Hey you jump really high. We love dog and rabbit agility sports. Our house rabbits zoom right over their ex-pens sometimes just to get to something extra yummy.
Please visit us and see the 10 things we learned about pet rabbits. Happy hopping.

How cool is that. I tried agility once and got terrified of the tunnel and threw up

Hi Y’all!
I used to enjoy agility for fun, still do actually. No convenient competitions around if you live in really rural areas. Which I do.
Y’all come on by,

We used agility as a way to get my reactive dog used to new things, and also to give my terrier something to do. We never competed, but it was lots of fun.
