A black working-type dog bursts from a brightly coloured agility tunnel during competition at the 2023 Albany Dog Show. Captured with all four feet above the grass, the dog displays speed, concentration and athleticism. Its forward position conveys the rapid transition between obstacles during an agility run. The yellow tunnel provides a vivid contrast against the dog's dark coat and green competition field. Dog agility challenges dogs to negotiate a sequence of obstacles while following directions from their handlers. Courses can include tunnels, jumps, weave poles and other obstacles arranged in different combinations. Successful runs require speed, accuracy, training and close communication between dog and handler. Albany provides a regional setting for canine sports and recreational events in southern Western Australia. Such competitions attract dogs and handlers across different breeds, sizes and experience levels.
