Agility, dog sports & mental exercise
What is dog sport or agility?
Agility is a dynamic form of dog sport in which dog and owner work together to master a dog course with various obstacles. Agility is about promoting the dog's coordination, obedience and teamwork. The focus should also be on dogs and owners having fun together.
At PERRO you will find a large selection of suitable agility equipment.
What are the benefits of agility and when does it help your dog?
Agility is particularly suitable if your dog:
- is full of energy,
- needs physical & mental challenges,
- needs to pay better attention to signals
Structured exercises in agility courses promote endurance, concentration and bonding with your dog. In addition to exercise, snacks and rewards, such as the PERRO Soft-Mix training snacks with lamb. Ideal for small, quick rewards during training.

How does agility differ from indoor exercise?
Agility is physically demanding and usually outdoors - perfect for sporting activities in good weather. Indoor activities, on the other hand, primarily promote mental exercise. Particularly suitable for indoors or quieter days are intelligence toys, as well as thinking and throwing toys for mental exercise, such as Zogoflex dog toy "Tizzi"
