Getting Started

Agility began in England in 1978. The AKC held its first agility trial in 1994 and Agility is the fastest growing dog sport in the United States and is the fastest growing event at the AKC.  The classes are divided by jump heights in order to make the competition equal between the different size of dogs.  A trial is a competition. Clubs hold practice matches, then apply to be licensed to hold official trials. At a licensed trial, handlers and dogs can earn scores toward agility titles.
