Weave poles and a Mom who has better joints than me! My co-owner/mentor wants me to do agility with her.

If you take it easy (and you can in the Novice classes) agility isn't any worse than trotting around the conformation ring.

It's when you get up to Excellent that things can get pretty hairy. But by THAT time, you ought to be able to send your dog ahead, work away, and otherwise save steps and tight turns.

I have heard that there is one lady who works agility from a wheelchair. Have to be a very highly trained dog though!
