Kiersey, especially, loves Agility. It is great exercise and gives the dogs confidence in themselves which may well transfer to their other activities. It also seems to make them listen better. To protect your puppy's joints, I recommend that you not begin agility training before 18 months of age unless there is a class designed especially for puppies. Agility is a combination obstacle course and gymnastics. It is both an individual and a team sport, although many owners choose to do it just for fun without intending to compete for titles. Courses are made-up of all sorts of obstacles. There are jumps, tunnels, and chutes. There are contact obstacles such as A-Frames, seesaws, dog walks and cross overs, all of which take the dogs up to 6 feet off the ground. There are also the table and the weave - a line of sticks through which your redhead has to twist. If you would like more information on Agility look in the Dogs in Canada Annual or contact the Canadian Kennel Club.
