We started agility in this past spring. It's a lot of fun!
I agree with Hanna Banana- it really helps to have a solid foundation of obedience first. Sophia finished 3 rounds of ob training before we started agility. She also received her CGC while in training for agility. It does help with the focus a lot. We have a really good agility club here that we are going to become members of.
We are still very much beginners at it but we will pick it up again in the spring. I'd like compete as well with her well if she continues to enjoy it.
It does help to find a good instructor and class. Our classes were small and it really helped to have other dogs there as distractions.
Good luck with it.
