that's lure coursing, Penny went NUTS for that (it was the same company, same set-up mostly) Many dogs didn't get it but pen was like OMG GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT we can't wait to try it again.
I wouldn't say at all that your dog isn't meant for agility, that's lure coursing and there is no training to get them to be comfortable with anything. Any dog can do agility and they get different things out of it
Rocky did a few rounds of agility (he was no speed demon but it was fun and he humoured me for food). Penny has been at it two years and we may start competing this year, we're hooked
