I think agility will be great for peppa as she's so athletic and energetic . She's 9 months now when should I start? Any ideas where to go in west london?

No idea where to go but I would hold off on any serious exercise until 18 months to let her develop.

Thanks that's what I thought but I heard and can't remember where about limited agility training for pups that's not so demanding and off-lead peppas got unlimited energy she never seems to stop when she's in control so I think she's ready or wil be soon enough.

Small bits might be okay but it's best to wait and let her fully develop. It will minimize joint issues when she is older

Foundation work you can start as young as 4-6 months - there is no jumping or impact work so there is no risk of causing injury. The work and training you will do is all direction and control.

We've been doing agility for 9 years or so now. Great fun!

You can do low impact agility with her but most schools prefer them to be 18 months so their bodies are more matured. She will love it, Katy did when we started Big Grin
