As pug owner I will say that Cookie's trainer deserves a Nobel Prize.

That little jump off of the seesaw was adorable!

[dogtube]

Aww. First time I saw a pug in agility

[paulbroderick]

My dog's agility is limited to hopping up and down on the couch!

[gulfgypsy]

Cookie the Pug, absolutely rocked it! She, so had a problem with one jump, but her sheer joy and enthusiasm was so incredible and so obvious. And in the end, isn't that what counts? That a loved dog should have joy in life?

[KristiLEvans]

WOW! Shows you what I know about pugs! That dog was agile, smart and did an impressively quick run of the course! I was not expecting that.

So cute!! I’ve never seen a pug that focused before 😆 Love you Cookie❤️

Pugs r adorable. They will do anything to please their owners even with things like agility when their body structure ( especially the nose) isn’t suited for it. They r so special

[Auzzielmao]

*aHwWWw iTs aDorAbLeEeEeEEE!* but seriously I admire the people that have enough time and effort to train their dogs as well as this! My dog can’t even roll over!

As an owner of 3 pugs I am totally mesmerized by the performance of this little arrow.

[sallyhildreth]

Aww he was doing so well. Love the way he did the weave! Great job!

[edk]

What a perfect cute pug!! He did so well and was light on his feet. He had more energy and focus than my Australian Shepherd even!! Haha

Funny watching the other dog at the end wagging it's tail when Cookie came close =)

So awesome to see!

What people don’t seem to realize is that there are plenty of healthy happy pugs who have an active lifestyle and who would do just fine for the amount of effort needed in agility. People like to trash the breed as little deformed monsters, but they really aren’t. Yes, there are some pugs that were very irresponsibly bred, but most pugs I have met don’t have a mile-long list of medical issues. Breathing issues are common, but the fix is pretty simple and affordable if it needs to be addressed. My pug, for example, loves to run around in the woods doing things much like what was in this agility video. She’ll leap over logs, run through them, zig zag all over the place and has a good time. She’s still young at 4 years old, but every dog eventually slows down, so I’m sure she’ll eventually not be as full of energy someday. But, for now, she keeps up with my German shepherd no problem. Loves walks and goes on shorter runs (not a big dog, so she’s working harder to run the same distance). She runs around to meet every dog (‘s owner) at the dog park. The thing is that if your lifestyle is not active, and you overfeed a small dog, then you’re quickly going to have an unhealthy dog no matter the breed.

What a game little guy! I was nervous with him on that see-saw.... Like watching a teddy bear, so adorable!

[dayaddict]

This fills my heart with joy, as a pug owner it is so lovely to see our breed posted in the public eye in a positive way for once!

[demariejones]

I have never seen a pug run that fast! He nailed it in my book! 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

[misssmisssymaria]

Why is no one clapping for this lil cutie?! He did so good! ❤️

[leilaclarridge]

It goes to show that even dog breeds with "compromised" anatomy, like pugs and bulldogs, can bust out some serious moves if trained right, just like any husky or collie.

[jeanettesmith]

Just love it. Pugs can run like the wind when they want. ❤️🐺
