I have been taking Taylor to rest homes/retirement villages/hospitals/schools since he was 8 months old which was well before agility ever came into it. So on that basis I'd say that, no, agility has never done anything for Taylor as far as these kind of visitations go - even before the start of agility training, he often went around the facilites off lead. But maybe the opposite took place: I attempted to show a very interested group of rest home residents and staff how Taylor can go through a tire (as in agility competition). Out came a hoop in the lounge and I lined Taylor up and away we went but Taylor would not go through the hoop no matter how low it was. After several attempts I gave up. And was Taylor pleased about that. He knew I never had any treats with me as an incentive for him.
