Illinois has several dog agility clubs.
Illinois has a strong community of dog agility clubs, providing a variety of indoor and outdoor training venues, specialized classes and group events. Agility training involves a progressive program of instruction for both dogs and handlers, beginning with on-leash training and culminating in off-leash running of obstacle courses with jumps. Agility training strengthens the bond between handlers and dogs through a system of hands-off commands and the excitement and fun of competition.
