December Canine Parkour Anywhere Challenge!
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:
And, in this video, I teach the seven Exercises. (I can provide this in typed form, if any of you prefer that).
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.
Once you have eight video clips ready to go, you can put them together as an All Dogs Parkour entry and submit for a title!
I explain how to do that here:
I will send your entries to other judges since I will have helped you put your entry together.
For members of this forum, you can have an All Dogs Parkour registration number for free! Just type "Backyard" on the registration form. You do need to pay to submit the entry, though. It is just $20.00 if you are submitting for one dog. There are discounts for multiple entries at once.
This Challenge is open now through January 15th!
If you submit and earn a title, you will get title certificate via email, a ribbon through the mail, and you and your dog will be added to the Anywhere Track Teams with Titles list. Also, Brenna will provide a certificate for completion of this Challenge!
If you have questions ask!! And I hope you give All Dogs Parkour Anywhere a try!!
