Thumbs up When to start

Emma is almost 11 months old and has gone through many obedience courses and I'd like to start her some harder agility training. What are some good and easy but challenging (doesn't make much sense....)things she could try at her age? She has a lot of energy and is very smart plus bored so any ideas would be appreciated. Also is there anyone who knows of any agility training places in Western Washington? Emmas Pop

I started Mia at one year. You just have to watch the jumping and we will not push for speed (not that she is ready) until she is 18 mnths. All my dogs love agility. It really helps with boredom. Holly and Zoe are not too talented but they still enjoy goofying around on the equipment. Hope and Abby both compete and do great. It is fun to shock the Boarder Collie owners.
