agilitylinjer

Agilitylinjer, often translated as agility lines or speed lines, are a training tool used primarily in dog agility sports. They consist of a series of spaced upright poles, typically five to eight, through which a dog navigates in a serpentine pattern. The purpose of agilitylinjer is to train a dog to move efficiently and quickly through a tight course, developing their body awareness, coordination, and speed.

Proper execution requires the dog to weave in and out of the poles without knocking them over. This demands a high degree of canine athleticism and a strong handler-dog communication. Training with agilitylinjer helps dogs learn to change direction rapidly, maintain balance, and follow their handler's cues. It is a fundamental obstacle in many agility competitions and a common exercise for conditioning and skill development. The spacing and number of poles can be adjusted to suit the dog's size, skill level, and the specific training goals. Mastering agilitylinjer can significantly improve a dog's performance on more complex agility courses.
