The sport of Dog Agility has been an unexpected delight for both my dog and me. In the beginning, it was a reason to teach my dog a number of novel behaviours using Mark and Reward training and behavioural science. But my adventures with my dog in this wonderful sport have taught me a great many lessons about kindness, persistence, patience and trust.

A transcript of the main text of Dancing At High Speed – Dog Agility is available at the Life As A Human online magazine website. You can visit Life as a Human to find this and other articles.
