yes they can be fixed. I would take one pup to a class at a time and split them up so they can be ok in the world as thier own little dogs rather then a pair all the time.
I say you can start now... teach them in the house to go through cat tunnels around chair legs and over raised objects... all good soialization. Lots of textures.
After a second round of shots... into a puppy class and learn with lots of distraction. The puppy class teacher should know of a good agility teacher.
then a vet check to see if they are ok to start training agility.. got to check out those knees and hips and elbows.
How I personally like postive based training either stright up clicker or mixed with a little lure work and free shaping.
That be the start and I am sure others will have more to say.
my girl just finished her puppy class we will at somepoint be doing agilty starter class but first I want to fine tune some of her learning.
