  I was browsing around online and came across this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gEB_cVpcWA
  This looks like a really cool sport and I am sure Austa would love doing this! Anybody do this with their bunnies?

  I think Leopold would be really great at agility, but I don’t know how I would train him without using a clicker (he’s deaf). He’s so smart though, it think it would be fun to set up some jumps.
  
  Hehe, I like the bunny in the video that is like “I’ll just remove this bar and go through. Mwahahaha!”

  While it looks like a lot of fun, I don’t think rabbit hopping (in competitions) is right for all bunnies. I know my buns would be terrified of being in a strange place in a crowd. I also don’t advocate the use of harnesses and most of the competition buns I see are wearing harnesses. That being said, I think it would be great fun to clicker train your bun and make little jumps in your home. My buns are pretty lazy but if they weren’t I’d probably give it a go.

  Weird, I tried replying to this thread and I got an error message.
  
  Anyhoo, what I was saying is that I noticed that some of the bunnies were wearing harnesses/leashes which I agree is dangerous. It would still be neat to try to get Leopold to go over a jump or 2 though. Some of those bunnies looked like they were having fun, but I think LPT is right that not all rabbits would enjoy that.
