Yes, we have done agility since the early days one way or another (obviously spent a lot of time on lead until I was almost confident he wouldn't run, but agility was a lifesaver in giving me confidence in letting him off the lead and communicating with him offlead using my body) but you can't do agility all the time!! And sadly he has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia and arthritis which has meant a big step back in agility, trying just to get him sound and pain free since January.
