Hi Al i can say about agility is it is FUN FUN FUN for me and the dog's.

5 -7 isnt to old if the dog is fit and well (tryed it with Beth and she 10).

Rio was shy at the begining but its so FUN she forgot and went mad,lol

We have pratice on wednesday's and i dont have any equiptment, but it doesnt matter because they can teach you correctly without you going home and doing it wrong.

Small dog?, ive seen Pap's doing it almost as good as Collies (on a smaller scale,lol)

Let us know if you do start because we NEED pic's
