For December, Brenna graciously invited me to offer a Parkour Challenge! With the recent introduction of the new "Anywhere Tracks" in All Dogs Parkour, I thought it would be fun to offer a Challenge where you could create a Level 1 Anywhere Regular Track entry that could - if you so choose - be entered for a title. So, the first part of this challenge is to create 8 video clips of your dog performing All Dogs Parkour Exercises. The ones that I have chosen to teach for this Challenge are: Get On 2 Front Feet, Get On 4 Feet, Go Under, Between, Jump Clean, Go Around, and Figure 8. If you are familiar with All Dogs Parkour, you are more than welcome to use other Exercises, but I am only teaching these Exercises as part of the Challenge. You can use any items that you have for your dog to perform these Exercises, but for the Get On 4 Feet, please keep the item under the height of your dog's elbow. If the item is elbow height or higher, you do have to spot/support, and I am not including instruction on that skill for this challenge. (Again, if you are familiar with ADP and you know how to spot/support, you are welcome to use something higher and do so). Your dog does not have to perform all 7 of the Exercises. For Level 1, four "repeats" are allowed. Just remember that a "repeat" has to be performed on/with a different item. (Figure 8 can only be performed once). I provide a general description of this Challenge in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaPcYpf0ep8 And, in this video, I teach the seven Exercises. (I can provide this in typed form, if any of you prefer that). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1VZvCWWp18 In the Anywhere Track, "Off-List" variations of Exercises are allowed, and I address that in the video. As you create your videos, feel free to post them in this forum, and I will give you feedback. I will let you know if any changes are needed for the clip to meet All Dogs Parkour submission criteria.

I’ve been thinking of how I can improve Louie’s ability to go to weave entries. I thought about approaching it from a Vito’s game perspective. This is our first attempt. I also but the guides back in place to see if I can get him confident enough for some speed. I’m also leading him a lot more than I should for Vito’s game. But I think it’s too much of a stretch to get him to figure it out without some help.

Yesterday had both ups and downs. We started with Novice Obedience and had a decent enough run. Free heel is a work in progress but we could have made it through. It was the recall that got us out NQ. He likes to sit and stare at me and say “nah I’m good”. I have even switched from a verbal recall to a signal after enough failed verbal attempts. Today it was not to be and we are still chasing our first leg. We we’re 108. Rally went grate. We finished intermediate and titled with a score of 96. Unfortunately I don’t have a video because my wife didn’t notice I moved from warmup, to on deck to in the ring. She got to see the second 1/2 of the run. This will be our last rally for a while. I don’t want to start learning the next set of signs until summer when I have less opportunities for agility. Back to chasing novice obedience legs and working on our agility journey.

Submissions only in this thread. Please visit the Challenge Announcement thread for the Rules.

Today our four‑legged MVP just leveled up to Level 2! Louie’s been crushing the dog‑sports scene, proving that size doesn’t matter when you’ve got heart, hustle, and a whole lot of swagger. From mastering the perfect “stay‑stil‑while‑I‑take‑the‑photo” pose to turning every walk into a runway strut, this little bulldog is the definition of classic loyalty meets modern flair. Louie, you’ve already fetched greatness at two—keep chasing dreams, staying loyal, and showing us all how to roll with style. Drop a or a in the comments if you’re vibing with Louie’s birthday hype! We had a birthday weekend by picking out a gift of java wood, making an apperance at the Flannel Festival Highland games and "Running with the Royals" FastCAT with the Palmetto Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club. Finishing with sleep and cake!
