They really don't need to know any obedience to go into agility. A stay command is good but my kids do not have a reliable stay and we get away with it. In some ways it is better if they don't have a lot of obedience classes as in agility the dog has to work on both your left and your right side. So many obedience dogs are so conditioned (and the owners too) to walking only on your left side that they get confused when they have to work on your right. I love agility and so do my furkids and yes, it is great exercise for us as well.
