    Willow nearly 7 months and i would love to abiilty with her in the future (i know she needs to be over a year). she does need a lot of things to keep her out of trouble and i have found an agility set for our garden, which includes a tunnell, mat , the weavers and jump. can i do a bit of this with her.

    I WILL NOT use the jump or anything that involves jumping.

    also flyball, could we do a bit of this? i was just gonna set it up that she runs to catch the ball not put jumps for her to do. again i was going to buy one for our garden

    no i will put away until she is a year. she needs to do a lot to keep her busy.

    also thought my 5 year old daughter coudl help teach her as sometimes she gets jelous of willow, to help them build a relationship

    Yes, thats a really good plan , your daughter will form a bond with Willow much more quickly if she feels a part of the training , let us know how it goes :)
