With a couple of our dogs we practice agility.

The dog has to take the different obstacles in a certain order.
The handler had to make sure the dog takes the right obstacle.

Then there is the table, where the dog has to jump on and wait for a couple of seconds.

The groundequipment like the tunnel and the soft-tunnel are frequently loved by the dogs.
