Agility trials are competitive events where dogs navigate through a timed obstacle course. The course typically includes jumps, tunnels, weave poles, and other challenges that test a dog's speed, accuracy, and teamwork with their handler. Each dog is judged on their performance, with points awarded for completing obstacles correctly and penalties for mistakes. Handlers guide their dogs through the course using verbal commands and body language. The goal is to complete the course in the shortest time possible while maintaining precision. Agility trials are popular in the dog sports community and can be found at local, regional, and national levels.
