shoemonster Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 (edited) Well Suz and I have joined up at Berwick to learn flyball! Secod class today and it is soooooo much fun Even if my dogs have no idea that their back half is attached to their front half Tollersowned got to experience their hurdle body slams today! Will be doing some ladder work during the week, and on going for some rear end awareness I think! Actually even I did a hurdle body slam when I got excited that Ed had grabbed the ball from the box and I ran backwards over one (derrr) Edited February 10, 2007 by shoemonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayreovi Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 LOL They went great, apart from Eddie slamming into the box poor boy hehehe, didnt get to see you falling over though dammit They are both going too be fast little Staffies once they get going, had quite a few beginners and intermediate who will be quite fast so its good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpley Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I missed flyball training today, but made it to obedience. I really enjoyed the training last week, even though Bronson was more interested in the bucket of balls LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 I don't think my 2 know how to slow it down! Which could make training interesting, but don't want to make them slow down either Molly didn't quite understand the box/ball thing but she'll get there! Ed was trying to use his mind powers on the instructor (can't remember her name) He sat there staring her out to try to make her give him the ball!

whatevah Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I also use the flyball jumps to teach directed jumping, retrieve over a jump and last night working on him going backwards over 2 jumps. So are so easy to put out and set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
