If you are worried she may have hip or elbow dysplasia, then I strongly suggest you have her checked. If you think it's more of a down day sort of thing then wait until her next appointment to talk to the vet.
Like Logan's Honey, my Dixie hated agility. She acted like the most depressed thing on earth. It ended up not being any fun for either of us. I searched for something she would love and it ended up being hunting. I introduced her to duck and pheasant retrieving and she just lit up! I started taking her to field training days with our local Golden club and she loved it so much I started competing with her in hunt tests. She is working on her Senior Hunter now.
Dusty on the other hand hates hunting but loves agility. They each have a distinct personality and you need to find out what it is that turns them on. If she doesn't like agility, I wouldn't force it on her. They are with us for such a short period of time, I wouldn't force her to do anything she doesn't like.
Hope Daisy is back to her cheerful self soon!
