I was wondering for Goldens when are they too old to start competing in agility. Since Agility is much more physically demanding than Obedience, is there a optimal age window for them?
The reason I ask is that Augie is now 3 and we've been training in Agility for a year and a half. He has teeter issues still and while he loves the weave poles can't do them without the guides. He can do all the other obstacles fine. I'm thinking that at the rate we are progressing it will be a few years before we are ready to compete. Is that too old since at 7 they are considered seniors?
