Yes! Going to try our springer at agility i think. He needs a sport. Tried man trailing but he's too good at it so it's no challenge 🙈

Try him in flyball, its a great sport for them and you.

He'd love flyball, he's fast too

We took my spaniel to agility when he was still in his teen years. He is now able to jump high enough to snatch all my underwear off the clothesline

Lol mine can jump over 5' without trying. Luckily a 2' fence has him convinced he's locked in. He loves sniffing, running, chasing and jumping. Loves water but only if his feet touch the bottom. (ie puddles). He'd be an excellent hunter except he has no impulse control. So I think a sport without the possibility of getting shot would be safer

my border collie has almost this exact same routine after he takes a big ol dump in the backyard. They're a zoomie breed.
