ACC 2023 NSS Agility Trials on Monday, September 11, 2023
Location: Versa Dog Sports, 1473 North 1000 East, Layton, Utah 84040
Canine agility is a teamwork sport where you direct your dog through a pre-set obstacle course within a certain time limit. Each course typically has about 14-20 obstacles, which can include tunnels, weave poles, tire jumps, seesaws, and pause tables where the dog must stop for a set amount of time. Each trial is designed so that your dog relies solely on the cues and body language that you use to direct them on the course.
