Russian Bear Dogs were not meant for Agility courses.

They just.. aren't

But ever since seeing a video with a BULLDOG rocking one, a certain Gwen got an idea in her head

And poor Ivan has had it added to his training

"Go ... go Ivan!" She says

Hoots of laughter come from Briar. "He's gonna get STUCK in that tunnel, I betcha."

"It's bigger than him" She says "I thought of how big he'll get"

"I dunno about the jumps. I'm pretty solid like him, and you don't see ME jumpin around."

"Well he's not allowed to EAT The bars" She says

Ivan stops, hearing that, he grabs a bar with his mouth and holds it like a stick

"Ivan, no" SHe sighs

Raucous laughter!

Ivan is still a dog.. .and he wants to play chase the stick

or chase me with the stick

Gwen could order him to give it, but instead she lunges for him, and Ivan wags DELIGHTEDLY.. and carries it off

Briar is on the ground now, crying in laughter as she clutches her belly. "Stop, stop! I can't take it!" Wheezing

Indeed, the heavy footed troll womping and stomping around after the dog carrying an obstacle course rung in his mouth is .. probably funny

But she calls out, firmer tone "Ivan, bring it to me." And snaps her fingers.

Ivan had his fun, and if a dog could sigh he might, but he trots up and hands it over. He is rewarded immediately with pets and explanation "I want you to jump over it"

"Maybe...." Wiping her eyes, "You have to SHOW him."

"You're nuts" She says "Me? I'd sink in the ground jumping over something like that, if I could. YOu just want me to fall on my face"

"Not at all!" Even at Dark Gate, the nearest Gwydion might WINCE at that 'ping'!

"Uh huh" She instead steps over it, to show him, and she does have it set low

And Ivan walks through it

She sighs

and hangs her head

"Hey...." She walks over and offers Gwen a handful of something. "Try holding up a treat where he has to jump to snatch it. These you can dangle so he doesn't break a tooth on your fingers."

Mmmm, raw meat gobbets. Apparently she just... had these.

"I.. thanks" She says then jokes 'Not anyone I know is it?"

Briar looks thoughtful.

"Probably not, but once they're cut down to primals..." A shrug and a grin!

"ewww" she says and makes a face, but she puts a use to it

"Treat-meats, sweet meats, red meats for tree-aaats!" She calls in the offkey sing-song she uses to summon the dogs for meals.

"Okay UP you go, Ivan!"

Ivan has leaped for treats before!

Glass wanders up, sniffing the area, but immediately moves to the redcap's side wagging

Lucky dog, Briar did not give away all her treats, and holds one up. "Jump for the throat!"

JUMP.. LICK!

As glass stretches to kiss !

"ACK"

She gives the pup the treat, though.

Not minding bloody meat breath in the slightest.

Now a certain TROLL is chuckling

"Did Ivy-wivy get the jump?"

"Don't call him that, and yes he did" She's petting on him as Ivan munches
