The Sporting Challenge - Dog Handling

In order to see this content you need to have both Javascript enabled and Flash installed. Visit BBC Webwise for full instructions

The nineteenth Radio 2 Breakfast Show Sporting Challenge threw Chris and Jonny a bit of a curveball. It was dog handling.

Some people say dog handling isn't a sport. Those people obviously haven't tried it, because it is H.A.R.D (and very sporty).

We took Chris and Jonny out to rural Middlesex to meet some pro-dogs. They then had to learn how to get those pooches to complete a proper dog agility course.

Watch the video to see who came out top dog.

Take a look at the photos of Chris and Jonny and their canine companions.

I was also crying with laughter during Jonny's segment, don't think the dog was listening to him, just having a fun time on the course. Chris seemed to bond better with his dog but I've always suspected he was a border collie in human form... ;)
