Would Your Dog Do This Challenge?

August 28, 2008

The final challenge in last night's episode of Greatest American Dog was rather shocking! In an intensified agility-type course, it ended with a doggy zip line . . . whoa! Even if you don't agree with J.D.'s training methods, he and Galaxy did an amazing job here, probably due in part to her training.

I can say with near certainty that my scaredy dog would never step off a platform that high, not even if I were covered head-to-toe in peanut butter. I'm assuming most of us don't have the professionals or equipment on hand to try a stunt like this at home (nor would we ever want to), so think hypothetically here – would your dog ever complete it?

That was completely awesome. There is no way my dog would do this because *I* wouldn't and he is a momma's dog.

WOW WOW WOW That was really something to watch. What a cool dog. Hmmmmm...I'm not sure if mine would do that or not. She does follow me everywhere and hates it when I go anywhere without her (I actually video taped her one time I went out to see what she did when I was gone and she howled the entire time. It was heartbreaking.)But doing those things I'm just not sure. I would like to try this to see if she would though.

I seriously doubt that mine would, either.
