Graet pics, the pups look so cute.
Have to agree with Par here about the agility stuff, it's not wise to have a puppy his age doing any form of jumps for agility, after all you want a healthy happy puppy and a dog that will be happy doing agility later on. He might be taking the jumps but there is a chance that it could lead to complications later on in his life because of all the early stress on his joints.
At the centre that I go the puppies have their own class for agility, and even when we get the odd pup in our regular agility class the teachers do not raise the jump over 8" and that's only when the dogs are over a certain age, when the dog is under that age even the 8" is not done they just go over the regular jump.
Also please I beg of you do not take him on the bridge, teeter or a-frame until you are under the instruction of a teacher in the know. He might be taking it now but unless he is taught to do it the proper way complete with contacts it could become an issue later on. He could either rush over it or decide not to take it and the competition heights are much higher then the one at the park.
I guess what I'm trying to say is please hold off on the agility training until he's older. For now why don't you work on getting him socialized and obdience trained, because believe me you'll need that obdience training when starting agility because it is a heck of a lot easier when your dog is under control and will listen to you when it's needed.
