Finally: Agility pictures!


  • BF took some pics yesterday during our agility training. It was still a bit too dark for really nice pics.. but now we at least have some proof of Tillo jumping ;)

    Weave-poles.. although there isn't a lot 'weaving' involved in this pic :D

    Tunnel

    Some jumps

    Skinny butt :D

    Flying

    Picking up speed

    Focused on me

    More jumping

    Chute

    Happy pup

    Tillo decides to take off without me.. (I'm looking like "ok.. that's an option too.." Haha..)

    2nd try.. I think Tillo liked the first try better :D

    Dogwalk

    Back to jumping

    Dogwalk again

    A-frame.. Tillo does everything on lure course speed.. so this one too..

    What goes up…......

    He can wait..

    Some final jumps

    And the dogwalk

    We have LOTS of fun together on the agility field!! :D


  • You guys certainly look like you are having tons of fun! Tillo always looks good, but I particularly love the jumping pictures. He looks so spring-y. Way to go Tillo and Janneke!


  • Totally love those pics Janneke :D. Tillo is such an obedient boy :cool:.


  • Looks like he did great! How much do you work with Tillo?

    We have agility training on wednesday and obedience training on saturday. We practice a bit on our walks, I always have some treats in my pockets. But that's more 'basic' stuff, like 'down', 'wait', 'follow' and 'here'.

    And he is doing pretty good.. a couple of weeks ago he had a period where he would just keep running away at the start and go through all the tunnels.. But I think it was just a "Basenji phase".. :rolleyes: Let's hope it doesn't come back ;)

    Maybe BF could do a video of him doing the course.

    We'll have to dig up the videocamera for that ;) But I'm sure BF is willing to do that.


  • Tillo is an amazing athlete, and BF got great photos of him on the course!

    Thanks for sharing!


  • Very nice start - can't wait to hear more about his agility career

    wow, what amazing pictures. Tillo sure is one stunning basenji…
    Thank you so much for sharing.

    Ahaha! Man this is cracking me up! Love the look on his face!

    "Pffft, as IF I am doing that again!"


  • Love the pics! Tillo looks great! Have fun!

  • You can really see his amazing muscularity in this photo series. You keep him in such beautiful condition, Janneke. You should be very proud of the job you are doing with him!


  • Lovely pics!


  • Wonderful pics! I love to watch Tillo doing this :D He's great!

    For how long did you train Agility now?
    I always thought of starting it with Zuri, too. But it wouldn't be the right thing for Thabo, I think :rolleyes: He doesn't like to jump or be on high places :cool:


  • Thank you all for the kind responses! :)

    @Elysium:

    This is our second training season. We had 12 lessons in 2009, then a winter break of 4 months and this was our 10th lesson in 2010.

    And why not start with Zuri? It's a really fun sport!


  • You are doing really well with Tillo - I've always found that Basenjis excel in agility and do so enjoy it. That's obvious from the photos - I hope your pictures encourage others to give it a try!!


  • Greats pics, looks like your both doin' good at the agility course.


  • Anyone doubting the Basenji's ability to be trained for agility need only look at your pictures - he is amazing, as always. It's wonderful you can work with him so well - he is the poster boy for Basenji accomplishment.


  • oh my goodness! how awesome. such a beautiful boy, I love his smooth coat! I wish we could get Sids to look so smooth :)

    @McCannClan: What an adorable girl! I love those wrinkles and she actually poses for you. I cannot get my new girl to sit still long enough for that… I think Faro is a bad influence on her. Your Athena is beautiful. Hoping you have many fun filled loving days with her. Thank you! It amazes me. She always sits still or stops moving when I'm pointing my camera/phone at her. It's like she knows. Every day since I got her has been fun! @DebraDownSouth: What a cutie! In a couple, it shows the white of one eye and I was going to ask if she has a "lazy eye", but then I looked back at the baby ones… nope, just your camera angle and her looking at you a bit from side. Cara has an absolute lazy eye, btw.. so you know why I was looking! I envy you that cute baby stage. OMG wouldn't it be wonderful if you could keep them like that. Give that wrinkly face a kiss for me. Sigh. Thank you! At times it does look like she has a slight lazy eye but mostly it's the camera angle and the way her head is. Don't worry, I give her many hugs & kisses everyday! this is my favorite picture I've taken thus far. [image: IMG00470-20110329-2131.jpg]
