A couple weekends ago I was looking into Freestyle. This weekend I was looking at Flyball. I have to luxury to live in a city where, no matter what sport Charlie and I may chose, there are several local training groups.

Anyway, on Flyball, I read that the height of the hurdles is set 4 inches below the height of the shortest dog on the team. They allow dogs to start as young as 9 months old.

I don't want to do anything that would hurt Charlie's growth plates, or skeletal structure. What age should I wait to get him into any sport which includes some jumping?
