In this live, we broke down exactly what the judges will be looking for in this week’s skill for the spring challenge, including engagement, positioning, reward timing and keeping that leash genuinely loose. We also announced our Week 1 winner… 🏆 Congratulations to @Esther Vass and Reggie from the Jackals! Their engagement, connection and teamwork earned them the first win of the Spring Challenge. Incredible work! And now things are getting serious. I’ve challenged Matt to a captain-versus-captain bet: the losing captain must do something absolutely hilarious, chosen by the community. Drop your best ideas in the comments below. Keep it funny, creative and embarrassing. We’ll let the community decide exactly what the loser has to do! Wild Dogs vs Jackals. Let’s go!

Reggie was pumped clearly, eager boy! 🤪

Here we are having a red hot go in the front yard.
