Skateboarding dog sets World Record

Share to Google Classroom

A talented dog named Coda has broken a Guinness World Record by skateboarding through a tunnel formed by 40 people standing with their legs apart.

The impressive feat took place on the set of the Italian TV show Lo Show Dei Record. Coda, a cocker spaniel, amazed the audience as he smoothly rolled through the human tunnel.

Coda’s owner and trainer, Satomi Asano from Japan, is a professional dog trainer who believes in using positive reinforcement. She hopes to encourage other dog owners to train their pets with kindness rather than punishment.

SMART Prep | Quick Question 211173

I set off from home just after breakfast with my cousin, Eli. We rode along the shared path beside the harbour, where the wind was strong enough to make us wobble. At the lookout, we stopped to drink water and watch two sailboats crossing the bay. Eli wanted to turn back early, but I convinced him to keep going to the end of the track. We arrived at the café near the reserve an hour later and shared hot chips before catching the ferry back. It felt like a small adventure, even though we were only a few kilometres from home.
