| Haha! I got one the other night too! And I was just as excited! We will all have to share photos of our dogs using them.
I also got a toy for Penny ($4.99). Its a squirrel with one of those balls that vibrate inside, so when you turn it on the squirrel moves around by itself. Penny was not ammused! I thought she might chase it. Instead she was very serious about killing it. She grabed it, shook, and then held it between her paws biting it all over. She wouldn't stop until she accidentally turned it off. Needless to say she doesn't get to play with that anymore. My other three have fun chasing it though. |

| we practiced our tunnel skills a little bit today... not really sure the best/easiest training technique for it, clover is willing to go thru it, but tbh, it may be a bit too small for him? if he doesn't duck at the right moment he sorta smooshes the tunnel a bit... anyway, he was totally happy with it and so was i |

| so, i just came across this abc distributing ® - SportPet® Agility Training Kit
pretty cheap, probably not a very durable set, but still, for $25, might be worth it to someone! | |

| I've seen that one in stores-and been tempted because I love kits!!! but really it's a plastic tunnel and some plastic sticks... go to home depot and get pvc piping and you can make your own-that way it's probably better and you could color it yourself | |

But your right, as long as he has fun that is all that matters!
I taught Roxy to go through just the tunnel first. Then added the yellow, but held it open. Each time she went through I closed it just a bit, until it was completely closed.
Penny learned by chasing Roxy through the chute.  She just went right through it and didn't even bat an eye. She got a huge jackpot for it and immediately went through again. I think I have a natural! | |
