Hi! I am soon welcoming into my home (and heart) an Irish Terrier puppy. My daughter is keenly interested in agility and is hoping we could train the puppy for agility (I would be the one doing the training and the running, LOL, as my daughter is only 5).
I'm wondering how easy/hard it is to train a terrier for agility. I've had a Chesapeake Bay Retriever previously, and while he was well obedience trained we didn't do anything fancy with him, LOL.
I've spoken to a veterinarian friend about training the new pup for agility and he just keeps looking at me and laughing when I bring it up, which is making me nervous, LOL! Are terriers and agility incompatible? Am I going to go crazy even attempting it?
Thanks for any advice/reassurances!
