New Agility Equipment for Yoshi!

Well we built some new jumps and also a table! We used the designs from the beginners guide to dog agility (in the back they have some build your own equipment deals)... Anyways..they came out great! I have three jumps (minus cups...still waiting on Dustin to cut those) And Im going to run to the hardware store to get some more stuff for a couple more jumps. Surprisingly...Yoshi was excited about his new stuff...a new found speed let itself show when I let him jump over some baby 4" jumps (they are that high without the cups and poles in place)...hmm maybe this might be a break through..... He might have just gotten bored with the old jumps in the same area everyday. Anyways..I put some primer on my table bottom and I am waiting for it to dry so I can put the second coat on. Then I'll flip her over and prime the other side..then I can paint my table PINK (yes I know I am weird)! Soon I will be buying the stuff for my dog walk base (think I am just going to order a kit) and I am still deciding on if I should build a tire jump or just buy one. Also I will be buying a tunnel and I might buy a chute as well. Since he is still younger (almost 9 months now) I will probably wait for 2-3 more months before I try to buy a set of weave poles. I need to figure out if I need to buy some to make the channel weaves or what. It depends on his progress in the next couple months what I will do with that. Anyways...I am getting excited more and more because now I actually am going to have equipment of my own and no more cinderblock jumps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also we are going to probably go to the beach (if the weather is nice) and take Yoshi..so hopefully I will have some pics of that. I will try to get the videos up in the next couple days of his course run from the place a week ago.
