Uh Oh, We’ve Got A Jumper
The other evening we decided that Ruthanna would take Ursa out for a walk to help her dry off after getting a bath. She got Ursa on the other side of the extra tall babygate and was working on getting Ursa leash cliped on when all of a sudden Sadie, our littlest Newfoundland decided that she needed to go on the walk as well.
I was standing right by her when all of a sudden she gave a quick bark and then launched herself over the babygate catching it with her back feet, bringing the whole gate down with a huge crash.
Needless to say, Ruthanna and just looked at each other in disbelief! We then grabbed Sadie and brought her back into the kitchen area and put the gate back up.
Sadie pretty much calmed down and finally sat down…or so we thought. We clearly were wrong! She must have just been judging her trajector for a more optimum angle as she all of a sudden launched herself again only this time completely clearing the gate.
Now we know we have problems to come. How to keep a Newf gated if they can jump them? I guess we will find out and soon. I guess we might as well start looking into Agility classes for her.
