[@patatedoucebb2919]

[@GymnasticsParadise]

You two are hilarious XD My kind of people haha. Tbh not even I could do that well x'D I am a competitive athlete and I'd probably come 30 secs behind the dogs, get confused 50 times and be in a bad mood for being screamed at to go faster even if I am used to it lel xD

[@taschak3889]

[@JackIsNotInTheBox]

Also can't forget to touch all the white pieces.

[@que3n-775]

this is the most thrilling video i've ever watched in my entire 24 year old life. all of these dogs were magnificent.

[@tipfertilizer4595]

Some owners are too slow for their dogs

[@zelogravity7725]

Never been so hyped for a dog in agility as I have seeing Sunflower

[@ismaeelbaig8053]

ZeloGravity honestly tho! What a beautiful dog and fast as lightning like they said! If they had a better, maybe younger, trainer running that dog first place for sure!

[@amandawright8041]

[@mastergta23]

17:06 I love how that dog jumped on her arms

[@JohnWick6Dee6]

I love the miss attempt right before that moment 😂 balled up like a baby

[@superastonished4438]

The ‘large dogs’ group should be renamed the ‘Border Collies’ group

[@JackIsNotInTheBox]

SAVAGE

[@anna9072]

They do have a class called ABC, “Anything but Border Collie”, so the other breeds have a decent chance to shine.

[@muzalan7601]

It's because border collies are the best dog in the world closely followed by Jack Russells

[@mantidgirl]

I'm having Nintendo Dog flashbacks

[@noelko2483]

[@hanling586]

I think I can't finish the course correctly

[@ab-qm3gm]

This is fascinating. Don't know why.

[@andromeda4641]

[@alexmathews1539]

I would forget that course in a matter of seconds, guess no Crufts for me like ever😂

[@user-ze1dz3ux2t]

Alex Mathews handlers are allowed to go and do a run over of the course before the competition (w/o their dogs). Everything is numbered too.

[@kathiecarpenter1170]

Alex Mathews me to🐕😂😂

[@nocturne2029]

Some old dogs in this one! What a great testament to how agility and other dog sports can keep a dog healthy and vital.

[@johannesmatlaisane7908]

Some of these dogs are faster than those times, the problem is the person guiding them; at times they hesitate.. If these dogs were to guide themselves, they will smatch those times~

[@rebeccahahn6172]

The dogs can't read course numbers, though, and part of scoring is the dog going over the obstacles in the proper order. I've seen young dogs just go wild in the ring, and they tend to gravitate toward the obstacles they like best. For collie types they seem to default to zipping through the weave poles over and over again. Shorter dogs seem to like the dog walk and having a good look around from a meter up.

[@mariagriffin1518]

That's the best part about agility - it's a team effort. The handler has to teach the dog, listen to the dog, bond with the dog, and guide the dog. On its own, the dog would take a few tunnels and not know any better. Only the handler knows the course, and they serve as a sort of GPS for the dog.

[@negodaquebrada6816]

I'm training my dog ​​and I hope one day he can participate in a high level.

[@amberblyledge7859]

How's it two years later?

[@lanna8365]

How are you guys doing?

[@sherazade7163]

???

[@LionheartNh]

No wonder my Border Collie Fred sits here so smug. Smartest in the world, most agile..they got it all. Fred I'm in charge here not you now let me finish typing you can use the computer after me.

[@Fish-um7dh]

I feel like stopping and giving your dog some love at the end should be required. Some of the people just walked off without even acknowledging their dogs. You wouldn't even be there without your dog, and they're only doing this for fun and to please you.

[@carocastellanos9981]

Fish agree so much!

[@britwww]

Kinda late comment but just wanted to say that as someone who competes in agility, I can tell you that with a lot of these high energy dogs the first priority as soon as they're done running the course is to get them out of the ring. Praise can come as soon as they're OUT of the ring. Not sure if Crufts is like this, but in a lot of shows ANY bad behavior while they're INSIDE the ring is grounds for disqualification - so if the dog got overexcited as soon as the course was done and maybe tried to run around and do another jump or two you would be automatically disqualified. Any experienced handler would agree that it's pretty frustrating if you do a perfect run only to be disqualified because your dog got too excited and tried to run the course again. Yes, I'm sure some of these handlers are just "in it for the win" but please don't think that just because they don't praise them AS SOON AS they finish the last jump that the dogs don't get praised :-)

[@starry99]

Most dogs get a tuggy toy at the end :) my dog does

[@jessicapatton2805]

I don know why I watch this every night but its relaxing

[@oliviaonafrychuk]

The miniature American shepherd was so fast! I was surprised it didn’t win. But that cocker spaniel was clearly a seasoned competitor. It wasn’t as fast as the mini American, but it ran the course so efficiently.

[@FirstLast-cf4mi]

[@alexanderdominguez1115]

Watching after 10pm 2 years to late

[@judyvalencia3257]

Some of these handlers either were so stressed that they were sloppy or just needed more time to train.

[@charlieharper4975]

I love it when dogs have more fun than people!

[@criticRN]

I just love this... their enthusiasm is contagious!!

[@tomar5e115]

Can the tell that some owners really love their dogs, can also tell that some owners are purely in it for the win and couldn't care less about the dog.....

[@amy-ds7ms]

tomar5e115 ikr! My dog sometimes does showing and even if we don't win I still praise him because I'm so proud of him he Is my whole 🌍

[@653j521]

tomar5e115 Which of the owners do you personally know who don't love their dogs? I don't know any of them but I am aware that everyone shows love differently and I'm not going to judge them based on a few seconds of video.

[@katiegeorge9875]

Most handlers work for many years to get to this point and when you dream about it for so long you get the ideal picture in your head. Different people react differently. Crufts is a huge competition with a huge atmosphere that puts pressure on the handler. When it doesn't go their way some are upset others just get over it quicker. In the end the handler gets over it and continues but most dogs couldn't care less if they get a fuss or not agility is enough of a treat for them and afterwards most just want their ball not their handler smothering them. My collie ignores me after and agility run and darts off to instead get her ball which is the real reward meanwhile I hang back seething because I know I could have done it better which is likely what goes through some of the handlers heads.

[@jen7662]

I agree with the comment that some may care less about their dog. I don't know any person personally whom has abused their agility dog but I can see how serious people take this and I can also understand human nature about how we may project our frustration/anger (or other feelings) onto others (including animals). Although I believe the animals may like the agility courses (specially those with high energy levels) I would speculate the dogs do it for fun vs. the human business of it.

[@nocturne2029]

Remember, a lot of those handlers aren't actually the owners of the dogs. And also remember, they need to get out of the ring ASAP so they probably congratulate the dog backstage. In any case, the dog has the time of its life on the course, for them that's the highlight and they don't always want a ton of attention after. Plus, some handlers have more of a working relationship with the dogs instead of a pet relationship when they're in the spotlight, which isn't bad, just comes off differently.

Because it's legit the best video on KZbin.....

[@christinerayner-jones1634]

I and my partner were at Crufts yesterday, it is a shame they now seem to refer to the dogs by numbers and not give their names

[@katiegeorge9875]

Christine Rayner-Jones well think how many dogs are called Bella...ect. I'm not sure if your talking showing because the names are often given in agility. The number helps define which dog it is because the kc name tends to be ,ongoing and the let name is common. Imagine shouting out the winner is poppy, with thousands of dogs competing there'd be a bit of an issue. Pretty sure the dogs aren't too insulted 😂 the owners are given numbers too

[@kpboss8917]

Christine Rayner-Jones *my partner and i*, totally agree tho

[@rebeccahahn6172]

Cat agility is a thing too. They jump better than dogs in some respects.

[@anationalacrobat2206]

BUT DOGS ARE SMARTER FAR BETTER THAN CATS

[@murilo0135]

Alguém pelo Coisa de Nerd?

[@jannley3036]

Is it possible to have a grouping for Advanced dogs, i.e. when any dog has garnered more than, say 3, first place wins, they compete with other similar proven dogs? This would give more dogs a chance, maybe.

[@baldtherockgemstone5869]

I love Sunflower she did very well My anxiety keeps rolling up when i watch these I DONT WANT THEM TO FAIL xd

[@elvabarboza1400]

I hope the owners treat the dogs well even if they are stressed and don't do anything bad to them.

[@anna9072]

Well, first, I think most people doing agility are doing it mainly to have fun with their dogs, and secondly, if you mistreat a dog it won’t enjoy it, and if the dog isn’t have fun it won’t do well, so if you really want to win at agility you’re better off beating your own head against the wall if you’re frustrated, rather than taking it out on your dog. People who are prone to losing their temper are not likely to succeed at the sport.

[@visibleaesthetics7343]

i do not like this. I liked them racing, but I didn't like how they walked away from the dog after they didn't beat the time. But it was fun to watch, despite that.

[@natashasands9937]

I think a lot of the time they just wanted to get out of the spotlight and play with the dog back stage but u agree you can tell some love the dogs more than others

[@katiegeorge9875]

Crufts is very high pressure. At an average agility show you don't get the intense atmosphere and build up. Most are probably disappointed. They had to beat up to 500 dogs to get here and in the moment it can be really upsetting. The dogs usually don't care they love the agility and the handlers quickly get over it.

[@ritatran1619]

Well atleast they getta play after, enjoy the vid. Stop looking at the bad parts

[@rebeccahahn6172]

In a large show setting like this, the handlers must clear the gates as quickly as possible. That's for their own and other dogs' safety, as well as that of the other handlers and the ring crews. (An excited dog can easily bite a bar setter out of a misplaced need to do something with all that energy.) It may appear callous, but it's focused on the safety of everyone's animals.

[@nocturne2029]

They also probably want to get out of the way of the next competitor so the dogs don't distract each other. I'm sure they get lots of love backstage ^_^

[@1961casey]

AT 15:00. THAT'S ASHLEIGH AND PUDSEY WHO WON BGT in 2012!!! So that's what they have been up to. If I understand correctly, this was Pudsey's last competition at 11 years old. Sadly, he died not too long afterwards but Ashleigh was able to train a suitable new partner, Sully, for BGT the champions in 2019. Good on her even though Pudsey will be missed by many.

All the dogs have a Kennel Club name and their 'pet' name! The Kennel Club name has to be unique, and includes the name of the kennel, which is why the names are so crazy sometimes!
