Flyball Practice
Last night I had flyball practice for the first time in a month and it went pretty well. We practiced doing turns on an actual flyball box and that went okay, I was beginning to get the hang of it by the end but I still need to work on it some more. My favorite part though were the hurdles, I love those! I even did well with the other dogs around. The first time I went in, there were two dogs doing full runs on the course and even though I would watch for a few seconds I'd refocus my attention on Amy which was really good. We got home in time to see the rest of the SuperBowl, well, we watched enough to see Rex Grossman throw two interceptions, once that happened, I tuned out and fell asleep. Amy flipped over to the PuppyBowl once or twice, no border collies this year.
Tonight we have the Applied Skills class at All About Dogs. Last week was the greatest class! We were practicing stays on our mats with Kong toys. Kong toys! We spent the entire class getting treats out of our Kong toys and all we had to do was stay on our mats. One of the trainers, Pam, was very impressed with my strategy for getting treats out of the Kong. I'd pick it up and then throw in on the ground so the treats would fall out. For those of you who don't know what a Kong is, it's a rubber dog toy that humans stuff with treats for us dogs. We then spend time trying to get the treats out of there. You can learn more about it by going to www.kongcompany.com.
