Last Sunday I took Spot and Shelby to a terrier fun day at Canine Mastery in Seekonk. It was hosted by 3 Jack Russell Terrier breeders. They had fun activities including Go to Ground, which is like Earthdog, a faux Barn Hunt, and lure coursing with and without obstacles.
Shelby did lure coursing and loved it right away. Lure coursing is when they have a white cloth tied onto a string. The string is on a loop and run by a motor and the dogs chase it. Sometimes they add agility obstacles like tunnels and jumps. She was the first dog to run the course and do the tunnel and the tire. She ended up getting a 4th place ribbon! Spot tried it too, but couldn't quite understand what to do. Spot loved the Go to Ground. They had a few different courses laid out. They had one really long one that was probably about 50 feet or so. Spot powered right through it. I was really pleased. I knew he could do the 30 ft Junior tunnel, but it was good to see he had no problems with a much longer tunnel.
Here's a picture of the set up for the Go to Ground. The tunnel on the right is the long one.
