5th Flyball Class


Hello! We had our 5th Flyball class last night. Boy was Mocca excited (do I say that every time?). This time though, she was even more excited when we went out to the field & started watching the other dogs. Everybody likes to bark a lot during flyball, or while waiting for their turn and this was the first time Mocca really took to this as well. She contributed with her "roo roo" and several real barks which are rare from her. She was REALLY excited watching those other dogs! The most ever!! She dragged me over to the flyball course when it was her turn!! Dragged!! Then I positioned her at 2 jumps out & asked her if she was ready...Oh boy was she! She went tearing off over the 2 jumps, got that ball quick as could be & we even managed to get 1 jump on the route back.

She tends to swerve off after the 1st jump, but with a little help we did get 2 jumps back at the very end. But we are just so happy that she is starting to really get into it like the other dogs that we dont want to push it. We tried starting off with 3 jumps & she didnt do as well so we are going to stay with 2 for awhile longer & see if we can get a consistent 2 there & 2 back.

Next week is our last flyball class & I am thinking about taking a 2nd class though not sure as it gets to be a bit much having class twice a week, but we'll see! I would like to see her get all 6 jumps going.

Last agility class coming up (last week's was cancelled due to the 95degree weather)
