Slideshow: 2011 Ag Show Dog Agility Contest
[Updated] During the last day of the 2011 Annual Exhibition, the Main Ring was taken over by dogs, their owners and an obstacle course, when the Dog Agility contest took place at noon. Dog agility is a dog sport where the handler directs a dog through an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy. Speaking with enthusiasts, they explained that it requires exceptional training and coordination of both dog and handler, and takes a fair amount of time to master.
