This is a video of Balu and human Wolfgang Lauenburger setting the Guinness World Record for “most skips by a dog on hind legs in 30 seconds,” with a respectable quicker-than-one-a-second 32 jumps. Not too shabby. Wolfgang says he and Balu trained hard for the record, which I believe, because dogs, by nature, are not jump ropers. Trust me, I have three of them, and they closest they’ve gotten is chewing the handles off my jump rope. And don’t even get me started on the yoga mats.
