Finally some agility practice video!

Well once again we were inspired by a video that Johann made a few days ago of some of his backyard agility practice. He did a really cool sequence of jumps, tunnel and then weaves at a distance. So mom set up something similar in our backyard but used the tire because she was too lazy to get the tunnel out! We practiced it a couple times yesterday and then got it on video today. We are not super fast or anything, but this was the first time we had tried to do distance work like this. Mom said she was real proud of me!


When we switched and went the other way - weaves and then the jumps - I had never done it before and so that was my first try. Mom knows she could've told me to jump earlier and given better cues, but she was afraid she'd pull me out of the weaves. Next time we try this sequence, she's going to run faster and see if she can get me to go faster too!

Gotta zoom!

Good boy Ricky!

That is something Oreo and I need to work on. Oreo doesn't like it when I get too far away from the weave poles.

Ricky, dude, you rock!!! Turning away into the weaves as a gamble is Masters level gamble stuff dude!

So cool that you can do that already. And your Mum was sooo great about holding her position...really nice job! My Mum tends to move out of position too fast and pulls me off and out. So impressed, we are!

Woofs, Johann
