When not playing with the tank, I'm competing in flyball and agility with my dogs. I'm also training a couple of them to herd sheep. That's a work in progress

Between my house, work and my 3 mini wieners my tank takes up any leftover time. Ive been dreaming of screaming up the side of a mountain at 8000rpm everytime it snows though. Im a little worried.

Model Rocketry, is my summer hobby. I have launched and recovered a rocket to 10,000 feet . Physics in the summer/Biology in the winter. Throw a parrot and a Keeshound into the mix just round things out.

Id love to do some sort of agility with mine as they all seem to love to run. Problem is everytime I get running around with them I cant help but laugh, then I stumble and fall over laughing and get attacked with tounges in ears and up my nose, its like the worst wet willy ever. They love chasing things, one of them would be fun to watch trying that long jump thing into water. She wouldnt go far but shed go full tilt off the end of a dock if you throw something for her. I really like the agility course too, weaving. Fun stuff. They just have such a low ground clearance, the jumps may be an issue. You have any suggestions for reading or anything that gives a person an idea on how to get started in training them for that or setting up a training path? There smart enough for it, im the one that needs to learn. Thanks.
