Can you imagine sending your dog over an obstacle course consisting of items such as: jumps, hoops, A-frames, see-saws, tables or a tunnel? Then, can you imagine running the course alongside your dog, working as a team, directing him to his next place against a time clock? If so, agility may be for you and your Golden. In this sport, dogs race against a clock as they navigate an obstacle course with strong concentration and speed. The LIGRC hosts AKC sanctioned agility trials in April and September at Doggie U K-9 Academy in Bay Shore, NY. These 2-day events are great fun for all breeds of dogs and their human handlers. If you are interested in agility and would like to get started, please contact Amanda Muller at amuller631@gmail.com.
