Only 1st prizes and points gained in standard classes at Kennel Club licensed agility shows may be used for progression through the classes. (A dog is only eligible for one grade.) In defining the eligibility of the owner or handler for grade 1, the two wins and points progression referred to in the definition apply only to one dog and not an accumulation of dogs. Globally, dog agility competitions are regulated and run by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) and its member organisations and a number of national kennel clubs and sport federations. Rules of each organisation, titles and selection process of national teams that represent the country at prestigious international events vary slightly. One reason alternatives to FCI organisations started to emerge is that FCI is an international pure-bred dogs federation and most of its members have restrictions for dogs without pedigrees. Such organisation as USDAA, UKI and IFCS and their members have opposed that and created their own international competitions that do not restrict participation for dogs without pedigrees. Because speed counts as much as accuracy, especially at higher levels of competition, this all takes place at a full-out run on the dog's part and, in places, on the handler's part as well. d. A dog having been eliminated in either qualifying round will not be eligible for the final, even if placed in the top placings.
with a pencil, mark the 8' board on the side in the middle of the 33" boards. This will be used to know where to screw the plywood to the cross members. Like with the A-frame, you can build a dog walk yourself to save money. Agility training is fun and beneficial, but you don’t need to go broke to get started. Thus, here’s a step-by-step process to make a DIY dog walk. What Materials You Will Need? To sum up, the dog walk is a large platform with two inclined ramps at each end. You can also see it as an A-frame with an additional flat plank in the center. Build the A-frame climbing wall. Use a table saw or circular saw to cut two 4′ x 8′ sheets of plywood down to 3′ x 8′. To make the plywood pieces rigid, attach 2x4s around the perimeter and one lengthwise down the middle of each piece. Attach the 2x4s with a pneumatic nail gun through the face of the plywood.

Now let’s turn to the DIY Network for a step-by-step guide on how to build your own dog an agility ramp:
The minimum number of poles should be five and the maximum number 12. They should be in a continuous line, as straight as possible and should be 60 cm apart between the poles. This obstacle is very straightforward. It’s a platform on which your dog will have to jump on, pause for 5 consecutive seconds, and jump off to continue the agility course. This obstacle should have a diameter of a minimum of 600 mm and should be a minimum of 3 metres in length.
Take the 2 2x4s that you didn't cut and lay these parallel to each other. These 2x4s are 3" short of 8 feet, the world of wood measurements is not very intuitive! Anyway, lay the 36" boards above and below the 8' boards. Lay the 33" boards 32" from either end.
Agility courses can be a great training and exercise tool for you and your pup! They can include a variety of equipment that increases your dog’s athletic ability and stamina, while strengthening the team communication between handler and canine. Basic equipment that you can find on agility courses are jumps, tunnels, a-frames, teeters, weave poles, and dog walks.

Keep in mind that if you and your dog plan to compete, the course you practice should match regulation standards. Deviating from the rules or course could teach your pup bad habits. Contrary to competitive training, “casual training is much more flexible, as you can really do whatever you want as long as it's fun and fitness-based for your pooch,” Prichard says.
