Agility is a sport that consists of guides leading their dogs in order to overcome various obstacles within a predetermined order and time in order to manifest their intelligence, obedience, concentration, sociability and agility. This playful activity is open to all kinds of people as well as to all kinds of dog breeds since, depending on the size of the animal, it will participate in one of the three existing categories: mini, midi or standard. We currently have facilities in Tenagua (Puntallana) that offers every Sunday, from 10:00 a.m., the possibility of starting this activity.
We are working to achieve recognition as a sport by the Sports Council.
