Dog agility training has been around for a relatively short time. It actually emerged in the 1970s as some type of entertainment. It was created in 1978 by two trainers who were seeking some diversion for dogs between events at a dog show in the United Country. It was introduced at the 1980 Cruft's dog show by committee member John Varley. It was designed aid the crowd happy between the different classes and did just that many. In fact, the idea of it soon removed after that, even on the other side of the pond. There were rumors of earlier dog agility training but nothing that could be proven. Regardless, it soon took off around the world and grew to the massive proportions it is at currently.
