Agility trials are competitive events where dogs navigate through an obstacle course designed to test their speed, accuracy, and teamwork with their handlers. The course typically includes jumps, tunnels, weave poles, and other challenges that require both physical skill and mental focus. Each dog is timed as they complete the course, and points are awarded based on performance. Handlers guide their dogs through the course using verbal commands and body language, emphasizing the bond between them. These trials are popular in the dog sports community and are often held at local, regional, and national levels, showcasing the talents of various breeds.
