I have a shi tzu and she's currently 4 years old... just wondering if i can still teach her agility training even if she's already 4?

Does she know her basic commands? Sit, down, stay? If so then you should be able to start working her in agility. Many dogs do agility as their second carrer after they have been shown in confirmation so they do not start doing agility until they are 4 or 5. See how she takes to it. Make a few small jumps and a set of weave poles from dowel rods or pvc pipes. If she is not afraid of them then I would say she should be good to train.

hi jep__toyo I do not see why not if she is healthy and her heart
is okay. I would ask your veterinarian first though just to be
on the safe side.I am no dog expert so check with your vet just
to be sure. good luck. God Bless happy mylotting.
