Last sessions of the year

Tonight was our last sessions for the year. We are taking a break for the holidays and will start back up in January. Thankfully we ended all on a positive note!

Flyball tonight Mocca did great! I didnt have to run up & down all night long and she only missed a few here & there. I made the choice to bring treats into flyball tonight & would give her one when she would run the full course correctly. THis seemed to work, so I think I will continue to bring treats & use them for that purpose -whatever works! I still am not sure we will continue with Flyball though. Especially in winter. 2+ hours in the cold gets to be pretty cold!

Agility went very well also! We triumphed over the teeter! We even did a few rounds of the weave poles, and although she doesnt yet know which side to start or what "weave" really means - once we get going through them she is very good. It's just the starting out we need to work on. Weaves are always in the middle of a course so your dog will always be on the run when they encounter them. So while we seemed to have them mastered pretty well at a sit position, it is an entirely different matter at a run or walk. Aside from that everything went very well and one of the trainers was asking if she though I would be competing with Mocca at all! I said well we'll just see! It is fun and Mocca really does enjoy it.

So this will be my last post for awhile. It's been a fun year!
