EzraThere are several types of dog agility courses, including standard agility where dogs navigate obstacles such as jumps, tunnels, weave poles, and A-frames in a specified order. Other types of agility include jumpers courses which focus on jumps and tunnelers courses which involve multiple tunnels. There are also specialized classes such as snooker and gamblers which require strategic thinking from both the dog and handler.

Does anyone have a maltipoo that is really good at dog agility because i have one and i want to enter her into agility but i don't want to waste my time if she is not going to be any good?
Every dog is different, regardless of breed. Maltipoos can excel in agility with proper training, patience, and consistency. It's worth giving it a try to see if your dog enjoys it and has potential, as agility can be a fun and rewarding activity for both of you.
How much money is involved in dog agility?
Yes, Like all competitions they tend to have prizes like $100 dollars or a years worth of dog food with the occcaisional trophy, but it depends where you live, because if it is in a bad area that is low and kind of bad like kentucky, then it might be something else, but if it was a statewide or a nationwide competition for Agility, then money in events are possible
What dog breeds are good for agility Not what they need to be agility dogs But good breeds for agility?
Herding breeds such as Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Corgis, Australian Kelpies, Queensland Heelers, Australian Cattle Dogs, Shetland Sheepdogs, and others have a *tendency* to have the traits that make good agility dogs: Eagerness to work, agility, speed, trainability. However, not all dogs of these breeds necessarily have these traits, and there are many other breeds where some or many of the individual dogs might have these traits. For example, many Papillons are amazing at agility, and so are some Poodles (of all sizes). Other working breeds might have some or all of those traits, such as Dobermans, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Chesapeake bay retrievers, Springer Spaniels, and many others. Don't just get a dog for agility though, you need to be able to love it, even if it turns out hating agility. I have a dog agility course myself and a doberman she is still young so you must be very patient with your dog while doing the course.
Can a mixed breed dog do agility?
if you mean fast, its a greyhound. if you actually do mean agile, like making sharp turns at high speeds easily, then i have no idea
