Oh..no...no trades!
Brian cooks,cleans,and even cleans up after poopy puppies when he needs to. I would not be sane without him. (truely)..

Wow! and I thought I lucked out with a fantastic cook! (I burn salads)
You hit the trifecta...
hey maybe he can build em and sell em cheap!

I would probably re-work that jump,as it could be an injury waiting to happen.Either that or he will get spooked from it easily falling over.

But Dickens looks like he is having a good time. Just be careful on the height as well. Not sure how old he is,but I would make your next one lower or adjustable with cups.
Like Calliesmom mentioned,jumping to high at a young age is not good.I looked at the tunnel you have (Amazon) as I am wanting to get one. But just unsure right now on which one to get.

I think if he were going to get spooked by it falling over he would have done it by now; but he's not the timid type, so I don't expect that to happen. I'll lower the bar a bit for now, although I don't expect I'll ever have it as high as I see in some formal agility courses for dogs his height (he's 19 inches now at seven months). Twelve to fourteen inches is probably the highest he'll ever do. But I like the idea of doing agility work as exercise and recreation. I'm thinking of maybe three or four hurdles, a tunnel and a small see-saw in the back yard (and a hoop; he loves jumping through his hoop!).

I'm not sure where my daughter got the tunnel; she got it for her Schipperke who refused to go through it, so she gave it to Dickens. It can't have been very expensive, and it's so light that it blows all over the place, but for now it's working.
