Agility! *Pic heavy*

[Charmaine18]

Okay, so it's not technically agility, just jumping over garden furniture. Just thought I'd share these pics of my beautiful Leah showing off.

Takeoff:

Wheeeeeee!

Landing:

We had the odd run-out:

And big tummy-rubs at the end!

This is what happened when I tried to make the little scruffy bugger do it:

She can jump amazingly (like most terriers) when she wants to, but she's so small you need a filler to make her go over rather than under!

Until I can do showjumping, this is my substitute.

Leah absolutely loves it, and she's so eager to please, she'll fling herself at anything I ask her to (she even jumps across ditches full of water for me, despite having a mortal terror of water). I do adore my doggy.

LIMBO!!!

We used to do that to Barney, until he used to run away and hide because he was so knackered

We tried it this weekend.
2 buckets and we originally started with a schooling whip between them so it didnt hurt if we caught it

however beau picked up the crop and ran off!!!!!! (not impressed mum!)
then used a piece of wood, worked fab, and then he decided chewing the buckets was more fun....

leah looks like she is having a fab time though!!! i like ur terriers approach to it! best way to do agility... the lazy way!

Phew, glad I am not the only one, I make my two jump a wooden summer seat at home...

Love the leaping doggy pics - my terrier is a fab jumper but ditto the comments about needing fillers!

Aww, I think your pics put mine to shame - smaller dog, bigger jumps and a FAR better kept lawn!

What's a lawn? We use a stubble field, manky old summer seat, a broken plastic chair, a ladder from a bunk bed, two planks and a traffic cone

Oh and the goat house makes a handy A-Frame....don't tell my mother....oh and we practise a tunnel using some abandoned concrete pipes. We're a classy outfit...

I thought i was the only one that used random bits of furniture as agility equiptment

yay im not alone :L

I always take my JRT to the common where there are lots of handy logs and sticks to be used as rustic x country jumps And then when we get home I use anything , plant pots , wooden chairs , with mops , brooms .. I've now even got her jumping through hula hoops xD I think my neighbours think im a bit mad though ...
