agility is FUN!! I bet your dogs will love it too. One thing you must remember, is there is no "NO" in agility, only trying again if you don't get it right. You can always tell which dogs have been told off a lot, they don't make less mistakes, but they can look slightly nervy and don't always get a nice flowing run, so keeping it fun, lots of praise when it goes right etc is the way to go. Besides, any mistakes by the dog will 99,99% of time be handler mistakes anyway, so no reason to punish the DOG for it lol.. :happy: You clicker train as well, don't you? If so, you are half way there! Especially for the contacts, I would do that with any collie, click for being on the contacts.
