Family Room Agility Practice

4:46 PM | Posted by Rubie and Poots (her Mum) | Edit Post

As you guys know, I do "Puppy Agility" at Obedience Skool. Mum thinks that I could use a little sneaky practice "on the side". She has been giving me evil looks - then I know she's gettin' ideas. (!!)

I thought mum cleared a spot in the family room so we could play tennis balls! I was wrong!

A few months ago - mum set up jumps for me in the family room with brooms, mops, and cans etc. Mum didn't take any photos. Then she saw Wyatt's idea of using loo paper to make the jumps nice and even.

???????????????? What the?

OOhhhh..... I'm starting to see the point of all this.... interesting ma!

See how I'm following my mum's hand (very important in agility) ....that way I know what to do when.

Straight line jumping..... when mum says "over" I have to jump something.

Sorry about the blurry shot.....but no camera can capture me clear at full-speed!!!!

WHAT IS THIS NOW???????

Ohh, my mum is at the other end of this thing......

This is supposed to be the TUNNEL at agility, I was a little wary at first - then.....

I picked it up real good..... the command is "tunnel through" and I loved it - I even did a jump at the beginning and end of the tunnel.

Mum and I exhausted ourselves with this exercise, but I loved it and got lots of treats for doin' stuff right.

I bet she will let me do this again!!

Sawyer the Schnauzer said...: What a great idea. Agility equipment can be very expensive, but not if you think outside of the box and create your own! Good thinking! :); April 14, 2011 11:49 AM
