Agility is essentially an obstacle course for dogs. A course is set with the intention of challenging a dog/handler team to negotiate the obstacles in a particular order, correctly, and as fast as possible. Every course is different.
The dogs compete in different classes according to their height. There are also different classes based on degree of difficulty, depending on the dog and handlers experience and skill level. There are also junior classes.
There are many venues in which to compete:
4-H,
AKC (American Kennel Club)
USDAA (United States Dog Agility Association)
CPE (Canine Performance Events)
UKC (United Kennel Club)
TDAA (Teacup Dogs Agility Association)
as well as many others. Different venues have different rules, and sometimes different equipment.
