Well, Mum thinks I need agility training. I do not really play, you see. Just a bit of wrestling and playbiting when I am at home, otherwise I walk around looking like Snoop Dog. Yesterday we met a King Charles Spaniel in the street, and I could see he was not going to be a friend. He started barking from

20 feet away, making a hell of a noise. I kept my cool, of course, and let him make a show of himself. Passers by think this is great – someone even patted me!

I am not getting any younger: I think I am about ten years old in human years. Collies can live as long as 17 years but we also need to stay agile and I do suffer a little from dog arthritis, so Mum has written these tips for dog agility training and says we must put them into action. I wonder if I need a safety hat?
