Until 18 months they're not allowed to jump, but any good agility group will have him pretty well up to doing a complete round at that age over poles (like equines), then the poles are gradually raised till they are at the 'small dog' height. Most dogs love agility!!! And you can get cheap agility equipment to practice at home or just use garden canes for weaving, a kids play tunnel, and more poles on the ground for jumps then add plant pots to raise them.

Thats right, we are all called Bryn and like singing and Daffodils in Wales
Don't get paranoid - we're all called 'Hey you Jimmy' up here, and sing the Proclaimer songs

And down 'yer of course, we'm all called Bert, drink cider and sing Wurzel songs!

I know, went there once, saw theyowld Wurzels live after a few in the Newton Abbott sider bar. Pork scratchings and Old Rosie did funny things to Taff so we came home.

The Cider Bar does funny things to a lot of people

I wanted to do agility with Archie. He will be 4 in Sept. I bought some weaving poles and put them up in the field but he is afraid of them.

I have tried taking him through on a lead with a treat in my hand but he really doesn't like them. Any tips?

He has a perfect heart on his forehead

He is just yummy.
My biggest regret with my puppies is that I didn't take enough pictures of them. They only stay small for 2 minutes! Take lots of photos and don't forget to post them on here for us to "aww" at!
