1. That rope walking is quite impressive.

I hope Monkey is doing this because he likes to, not because he is being forced to.

2. Hmmm. Think so? That looks like quite the shock collar

But I may be seeing things.

5. I have cats, so don't know what shock...

...collars look like. I just get the sense that the dog looks tense.

11. Doesn't look like any shock collar I've seen n/t

4. Some of those looked like abuse to me

Like the part where he was upside down.

6. When I watch dog agility events, which I have only ever...

...seen on television, the dogs typically look exuberant, like they are loving every minute of it, especially the weave poles.

I’m not getting a feeling of exuberance from Monkey. He looks anxious, IMO.

As a cat mom, I could be reading this all wrong.

12. That's how I felt

Some things looked just fine, like when he ran up the ramp to the roof. On others, he looked hunched over and scared.

13. Yeah, Monkey looks like an unhappy dog

3. well named pooch!

7. Didn't see that dog wag his tail in enjoyment even once.

Well trained dog, but at what cost? Owner's ego?

I did click on the youtube link and there's quite a few videos of Monkey. Appears to lead a good life.

8. You didn't watch it to the end I guess
