Classes Continue

Flyball on Tuesday went well. We started off right away with a solid 2 jumps down & 2 jumps back! Everybody was very excited. So then we started on 3 jumps. She goes down the jumps fine & gets the ball no problem - we definately have that figured out - it's the coming back part that is the problem. I think we'll get it next week though. It just takes a bit of practice on our part. Mocca is still the "slow" dog of the group. The other dogs do all 4 jumps no problem. Mocca isnt quite as motivated & excited about Flyball as they are, but we're working up to it.

Agility also went well! We had a bit of an issue with several areas on the arena where there MUST have been some treats on the ground because Mocca was not paying much attention me in those areas. She was also being a stinker on the plank & leaping from the ground to half way up the plank and missing the target on that end, PLUS, jumping off before reaching the target on the other end! That I'm sure was because there was a tunnel under the plank on that end. Aside from that things went very good. She continues to zip pretty quickly through the weave poles. This week we also worked a bit more on the teeter totter & it was the first time she went over it without anybody holding onto the teeter when it "tottered". She seemed a little surprised, but hopped off & then did it again no problem.

There were LOTS of dogs at agility this week. We had 2 groups of 4, and then a third group with just 2 who I guess are starting a beginning course. Surprisingly enough, there was a Schiperkee in that group! An older one at that! I guess we'll see if she comes back next week.

We decided to continue with Flyball because I would like to see Mocca finish all 4 jumps. I dont want to quit it when we havent mastered it just at the lowest level!
