We are slowly (or fast, depending on how you look at it) adding on to our home agility field. I’ve ordered a practice tunnel, although it isn’t here yet. So we used the el cheap-o tunnel I got a while back (remember the weirdest cat bed?).
While quite different from a real agility tunnel, still, it introduced Lola to idea of being totally enclosed.
She was a bit unsure of it, but she still readily went through it without any special persuasion. It doesn’t have the ridges of a real agility tunnel, though. I’m not quite sure what she saw in it in the run-through below, but she reared up like a pony!
And she jumped right through the “tire” without having to click her just for looking at it first. In fact, she did a whole sequence of obstacles pretty well, although she did keep turning to me, looking for her treat.
Chester likes the tunnel
We also added a couple of small hurdles to our equipment this week. I set them low, since Lola has minimal hurdle experience, but you could see from the photos that I can move up the bar. Both of them were flying over the hurdles with room to spare.
Bat ears!
Okay, not the best photo, but the bat ears were just too cute to pass up.
And no tunnels were harmed in this exercise. I brought it back in so that the boys could continue to sleep in it.
