I have a purebred mini Aussie (please no lectures, I got the dog as a reward for good grades in 5th grade, and I'd done a lot of research on the breed but I didn't know about it not being a "real" breed, blah blah :P. Thanks for understanding), and she's a tad overweight (probably about 40 pounds). She turned 8 on February 4th. She is completely healthy other than being plump. She lives with my grandparents so I'm NOT there all the time to monitor her feed intake, and I know that my grandma gets her fast food chicken sometimes :( She has been drastically decreasing this, though. She gets 1/2 cup of Blue Buffalo Grain-Free 2x a day. Should this be decreased? I am going to begin baking her healthy dog treats (any links to packaged healthy dog treats or recipes would be great, thank you!) so that way even if she gets a few too many treats, they're healthy instead of filled with bad stuff. She did get Lyme disease from a tick when she was about 3 years old. She occasionally gets flare-ups (once they get this disease, it will always be in their bloodstream - just may not ever come back), probably every few months. Her joints will ache and she will have a very hard time jumping onto her couch or into the car. During these times she needs meds from the vet (who insists on having bloodwork done every time, even though we know what it is... grr). So, what I'm asking is, with her situation, is 8 yrs old too old to begin doing agility? I really had wanted her to be way into it by now, but I only just turned 18 and now have more free time to work with her. If this age is ok, what should I do between now and the springtime in order to prepare her? Take her for daily walks around the neighborhood? How many treats per day? Any decrease/change in diet? I appreciate your help! Thanks so much :) I'd also like to add that she is incredibly intelligent (more so than any other dog I've met, except she may be on par with other Aussies and Border Collies I know). I can put a piece of steak in front of her, say, "Wait," and walk out of the room for MINUTES and she will not touch the food. Just sits there and waits for me to come back and say that she can eat it. So I definitely think she's smart enough to do agility. She listens well, she's got a phenomenal personality (with people; since she got Lyme disease she's been less playful and less patient with other dogs, although she is NOT aggressive, just walks away looking sour if they come near her). Anyway, I think she would enjoy agility training.
