Flyball Goals

After the tournament and watching this video of Eden jumping more than double the height she needs to for clearance of the flyball jumps...
...I decided to work restrained ping-pong style recalls back and forth over the jumps to condition her to jump faster which will result in flatter jumps. It worked wonderfully. She only jumps that high when she's in the wrong mindset mostly. I have also found that using a harness on her makes her want to go faster (flatter) so I need to remember to keep that on her. Her start line is really starting to look great too - I can launch her now (she used to squeal if I grabbed in front of her back legs at ALL).
