Have Retrained Tia To Turn To The Right In Flyball

[whatevah]

Have been working at retraining Tia to turn to the right. I am glad that I did it. Also just to show you that you don't need to own a flyball box to do training.

It didn't take that long. She is still a little slow off the box, but she is still in the early phases of learning. Have to start practicing on a proper flyball box. Today was the first day at training her with 4 jumps.

Here is her turning to the left.

she is looking good. How old is she now? When do we get to see her on a box?

Looks great and fast

How did you attach the ball to the turning board?

When I can get to training, and start training her on a proper flyball box, you will see her. I don't own a flyball box, a bit expensive. I have some velcro which sticks to the turning board, Tia jumps on the turning board and takes the ball off the velcro, you may be able to see it on her other video clips. She is 18 months old now. Once we add the proper flyball box it may speed up her turn a little.

Forgot to mention another little habit. She would run up to the box and try and get the ball straight on without jumping on the turning board first. What I did was never to reward that. I also got my husband to stand behind the turning board and if she tried that he simply put his hand over the ball so she never got it.
