Dogs are like kids, if they think they can hold out for something "better" they will. 😉
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
Tunnel
Some jumps
Skinny butt
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
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!!
-
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

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. -
2nd try.. I think Tillo liked the first try better
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!
Kismets mom -
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
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 -
Thank you all for the kind responses!

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
