    Badass Dash - K9 Companion

    Anyone ever heard of this? Apparently the fun traveling race has a dog division where you compete WITH your dog. I think it sounds amazing.

    Here are the obstacles:

    K-9 COMPANION DIVISION OBSTACLES | BADASS Dash

    There is one right by me next weekend, which I don't have time and am not prepared for, but there's one next summer a couple of hours away that I may just try to do.

    What do you guys think? How would you even go about training for something like this?

    That sounds like fun but also sounds like either or both parties could get hurt easily. Agility training for both seems like a must but some of those obstacles would not be in agility. Sounds like competitors are side by side? You are alone with your dog in the agility ring, though maybe not when training. But when training you tend to know the others in your class so they are not strangers with who knows what kind of control over their dog. Think I just convinced myself I'd not take the dog.

    I wondered about that too, although looks like all dogs have to be leashed, leashes no longer than 4ft. So at least there's that.

    Looked fun to me!
