New Tunnel Arrived

[Dori & Rua]

I had ordered a tunnel last weekend and just got it Friday.  It is 18' long and has a carrying case and stakes to hold it down.  Obviously I can't stake it in the house!  LOL  I will make weights to hold the ends in place later.

 

She freaked at first with the tunnel just up in the living room...everytime I moved it, she would run.  But I just left it up and let her get used to it.  Then, yesterday late afternoon, I scrunched it up to about 8' and leaned it against furniture to keep it steady.

 

While she was watching, I threw two good-sized pieces of freeze-dried liver treats into the tunnel and sat back and let her figure out what she needed to do.  After a few minutes, she tentatively entered the tunnel.  I praised her and she went right to the treat and ran out the other end!  Yeah Rua.  She was at one end now, and I was at the other, and I called her and she went in, got the treat and came out.

 

From there, I went up to the tunnel with a treat, and said "tunnel" while I passed the treat above her head over the tunnel, and away she went.  Did that a few times and added "table", then put the jump bar in place, and away we went.
