We have made amazing strides with Eden in flyball. The push board has done wonders for her box turn. It was a little iffy at the beginning of training but then we added a couple of props for clarification and she "remembered" right away. Tonight we added another dog in her lane. At first he was just barking alongside, in the position he would be in if they were running on a team. When that didn't phase her, we let that dog run after her, as the second dog in the run. She gave way on the lane beautifully so he could make the first jump. We did that a few times and then swapped and had her run second after him. She was so good, faster and showed a lot of drive. I can't believe how much she's changed since I got her - what an amazing little dog!!! And of course, since it is Eden, there are a couple of bloopers also included in the video hehe.
I am running another dog because her handler is injured. This is what Eden will hopefully look like someday.
Congrats! It sounds like she is coming along great. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! She is! I am so pleased by her! She has changed soooo much since I got her, it's like a completely different dog - I cannot get over it :-)
