A Flyball First
Today we had flyball practice at Colonial K9 and for the first time ever, I actually passed a dog on my way to the box. Up until now, I've only passed a dog on my way back from the box. So the order was usually me and then Riot. Well, today, we practiced running Riot first and then me and I did great! I am so focused on the ball that I didn't even notice Riot. See, we're hoping to take me out of the start dog position because with false starts, it gets a bit tiring to be the start dog. After successfully running into Riot, I did some runs with Sam, a golden retriever on the team. The first time we ran, the order was Sam and me and then we ran me and Sam. Well, after four heats, the decision was made that we probably should never do that again. Even though I was good and ran back to Amy, I definitely noticed Sam and had very serious thoughts of chasing and snapping at him. I think we're going to try and stick to the little dogs. Our next tournament will be September where I might debut in a new order on the team. Hopefully with a few more practices in August, I'll feel comfortable in a different spot.
