| Jackson's agility beginnings I purchased some weave poles off of Amazon back before Christmas and am just now opening them up. I know next to nothing about agility and just started guiding Jackson through them with a treat. This video was shot literally about ten minutes after first learning the weave poles. He never seizes to amaze me, I love this dog. We're still totally in the beginning stages... I don't even know if we're doing this the right way or not so any tips would be appreciated!! There's only 5 poles right now, it came with 6, but I started Jackson off with 2 and he found that too easy so I put him 4, then added another, so now we just gotta add one more I'm planning on signing him up for an agility class in the summer hopefully so we can learn more! (if you're watching this right after I just uploaded it, it's gonna be blurry!) Ignore my annoying voice!

I believe he could REALLY be just that! There is something about him that says "I am a top champ in the making" He could even eventually be in movies at the rate he's going!

| Great job Jackson and Brit!! He is a natural. If you are looking to expand your home agility equipment, Target carries a 6' long kiddy play tunnel for $16. My guys love it! |

Thor's Human Donating Member | He certainly has a look of steely determination in Brit's avatar! You can tell he knows he's #1. |

Wow, thanks for the tip! I'll check out Target tomorrow. I couldn't find a tunnel any cheaper than like $25 on the web. I don't see it on Target's website?

| I didn't see it on their website either, but I found it in the toy section, I think near the pool and outdoor stuff. It is orange with blue netting "window" panels. My guys really like watching me wrestle it to collapse it and put it back in the closet, lol. |

| Wow! He's doing great, and looks like he's really enjoying himself too!!! Very exciting I have yet to get any of the agility stuff, its still on my "to-do" list. This may motivate my butt to get to the store LOL |

| LOL, go for it. It's actually really fun. I can't believe I JUST opened them. I literally ordered them the week before Christmas. They were pretty inexpensive compared to everything else I saw. Amazon.com and they're the AKC Junior edition.

| Jackson looks awesome! What a smart handsome boy he is! At the park, we once encountered poles set up like that, but farther apart. Armed with just encouragement, I got Kaji to weave! I can't wait to move out somewhere with more space and buy my own agility kit!

| Jackson seemed to catch on quickly! WAY TO GO!!! Bailey and I just completed our first session of classes and we are addicted! =) one thing i would say to make sure of is that you always have Jackson enter to his left (thats important) hes a cutie! You can buy tunnels for $25 at toys r us and if you have a handy husband or boyfriend he can make you some jumps with pvc
