Lots of
agility dogs
are young, but many seniors compete in
agility
trials or run courses recreationally. ...
Senior
courses usually differ from general
agility
runs.
Older dogs
attempt jumps at a lower height than younger canine athletes.

The answer is
yes
to both questions, within reason. To compete in agility your dog needs to be at least a year old, but you can start to train your puppy earlier than that. Keep in mind, however, that your dog's joints are still forming, so jump heights should be about elbow height for the first year.
