Yes, Great Danes CAN do Agility!

Agility is undeniably a sport designed with medium-sized dogs in mind... however, the Giants can have a great time at it too!  You do need to take extra care when training a giant breed dog in agility, ESPECIALLY if they are younger than 18 months.

If you are interested in pursuing agility with a giant breed dog, there are some excellent articles to get you started at ChromaDane.



Here are a sequence of photos of Kinsey doing the weave poles from a recent agility trial.

The photos here were taken by 2MC Designs.



It's interesting to look at her footwork in these photos.





The A-frame - one of her favorite obstacles.

The tunnel - not one of her favorites, but it's not a problem either!


The dog walk - this obstacle can be challenging for Giant breed dogs since it's no more than 12 inches wide!

Another A-frame.  She's just sailing over it!

She loves to jump!
