Christmas dinner at the grandparents usually involves polite small talk or way too much pie. This time, though, Elise Weber ended up watching something way more exciting unfold in the garage while dessert was still happening. Instead of flipping on the TV, her grandparents decided it was time to show off what their dog could do.
In the video shared by @weber.elise, their mini Poodle launches straight into a homemade obstacle course. It is honestly the most wholesome holiday entertainment you could ever ask for.
Mini Poodle jumps through homemade obstacle course in video
Grandpa sits in his chair and gives the signal to start. Immediately, the dog flies over a cardboard box turned on its side—next, the furball threads the needle through a homemade PVC-pipe hoop. You can tell this isn’t the pup’s first time running the circuit. The height and narrow gaps don’t seem to slow them down at all. They stay locked in, moving from one obstacle to the next without missing a beat.
Poodles have a reputation for being smart and agile, and this one fully lives up to it. That quick thinking shows up in the way the dog moves through each obstacle without stopping. They even clear a double-stacked cardboard jump with total flair and athletic grace. Most dogs need a high-value treat to focus, but this pup seems to do it just for the praise. Grandpa’s proud pets at the end are clearly the best reward they could receive.
The clip has already pulled in over 640,000 likes on TikTok. Many viewers pointed out how great this activity is for the grandpa’s mental health. It keeps both the owner and the pet active and engaged during the cold winter months. One commenter even joked about wanting to be adopted by these grandparents just to watch the show. It is rare to see such a well-groomed and mentally stimulated dog having this much fun at home.
And even when this Poodle is running the course for the fourth time, the performance is still top-notch. These grandparents have turned a simple garage into a training ground of pure joy and connection.
