Have been doing agility with my mini yorkie rescue boy for 3 years now and he is 4. He has never suffered an injury and in fact the vet said he was a lean muscle machine and in fantastic condition. If you feed a higb protein diet, use proper equipment in a field or sprung floor, ie not concrete, and you use proper training methods, you cannot go wrong. Exercise is good for the dog, as is figuring out new obstacles such as a hoop. I train with a dog school and our dogs don't start jumps and ramps etc until a year old. Hoops that are low, poles on the ground, tunnels, weaving through poles or flower pots, will not cause harm if you are still unsure. Have fun! |
