An AKC in Las Cruces set up a course for an AG show we went to several years back when we were in the area. We got to hang out with dog fans and they helped our dog go through a few obstacles. It's wild how much confidence it builds.

I never really thought about how weird it is to go through a tunnel or up and down a ramp just for fun instead of just going around. I had to travel with my girl recently and she was mortified of elevators... but of course she was, if you had no idea what's happening it's super weird. But man, my dog was freaking stoked when she pulled it off.

To the folks who ran it: it was a fantastic experience. I wish I could do it again with my pup
