About Agility

Agility is something Poppy and I really enjoy and we regularly compete at agility competitions. This page should help provide you with information about the sport and some useful links if you were interested in learning more about competing (it isn’t as scary as it first seems, we promise!)

There are various organisations that run competitions each with their own set of rules, the main two are the Kennel Club and UK Agility.
