I definitely won’t fuck you about it, but I do agree that dog was very impressive.

won't fuck you

But they kindly offered the opportunity, if you were raised right you gotta oblige

Because of the implication.

They're just Canadian and being polite.

Man so I'm currently laying on my side, scrolling, and my cat decided to jump up and lay on my hip. He never does this so I've been trying to limit my movement hoping he stays as long as possible.

The way I just had to stifle a laugh from your comment was Olympic. My cat stayed put.

On behalf of your cat, thank you for your efforts.

Check out "flyball" too, It's a team relay style thing and it's pretty cool

I went down the dog athleticism rabbit hole one day and really enjoyed dock diving

We compete in flyball, can confirm it's cool.

Oh nice! I've always wanted to try it with a collie I look after, but he's just a bit too nervous of strangers sadly.
Good luck to you and your team at your future events!

Yeah fly ball is one of my favorites!

u/Danominator 2d ago

Your thinking that's impressive? Look at this guy fly through an agility course https://youtu.be/GjqtwNUE148?si=E5-odtGoYiZjdoQs

Don’t forget this plucky little fella - Ollie

My ADHD totem! lol. It's always amazing to see the dogs that just go after it and ace it like the border collie, but this would be me. "Yes, yes, let's go! Heyyyy! What's that over here? Oh, right, yes, yes, let's goooo!" lol

u/IsabellaGalavant 2d ago

My favorites are the ones that have absolutely no business in an agility competition, like the old boys just there to get some exercise, or the big dopey ones like Saint Bernards that barely fit through the weave bars and get through the course in like 4 minutes. Love 'em!

u/KelliAllred 2d ago

That's freaking adorable, thanks for showing us :)

u/ender4171 2d ago

I was expecting him to just walk through the hurdles knocking every bar off, lol

u/the-real-macs 1d ago

Knew exactly what it was going to be and I still watched the whole thing. What a good boy.

u/Squirmish 2d ago

I was running down the comments looking for this - never fails to make me laugh.

u/Imaginary_History985 2d ago

ya fuck you, that dog was impressive

u/wdn 2d ago

Just so you understand, the dog has practiced all these obstacles but the dog doesn't know in advance what order the obstacles will be in. That's why the owner is out there directing.

Wait till you hear about the dog sport of Barn Hunting! Rats play hide and seek with dogs. Best part is, the rats and dogs are friends and usually grow up with each other. The rats are in tubes btw.

u/ThosePeoplePlaces 1d ago

Needs more sheep. There's shows called 'dog trials' where the dog guides random wild sheep around a course like that

1

u/shanook28 1d ago

Those are called herding trials. “Dog trial” refers to a large number of dog sporting events, which are kind of broadly broken down into shows, trials, tests, and meets.

Wait until you find out there’s an entire world of doggy sports and they’re all incredibly watchable ❤️
