Absolutely. Dog agility can be enjoyed by people of many ages and abilities. Children are often ready to participate safely around ages 10 to 12, provided they have the maturity, focus, patience, and emotional control needed to handle a dog in a stimulating environment.

For older adults, agility can be an excellent way to stay physically active, mentally engaged, and socially connected. The sport is also adaptable for people with disabilities. Training techniques such as distance handling, along with other modifications and accomodations, allow many participants to successfully compete and enjoy the sport regardless of their physical abilities.
