Great week

It has been a very quiet week for me, dog wise, this week, I have focused on work as I have been going for a promotion which I am very pleased to say I have got!! I learned that Jamie got his Flyball Dog Intermediate award and Neo has his Advanced so I am very proud of my two boys!! I also got a blinding deal on my O2 phone, woo hoo!!
My sister and I had a small flyball training session today over our local park, just taking our three young collies and the jumps. Fox has had a few sessions now but is so unfocused that it is taking a while. I have however had him playing with a ragger which he loves and it has completely turned him round. I have so far struggled to get him to go over three jumps as he switches off and either runs round or runs off!! Today however we got him going up to my sister, taking a ball off the ground (I haven't introduced the box yet- too much for his small brain to cope with!!) and coming back over the jumps to get the ragger!!! it only took us about ten mins!!! I'm really pleased with him. I keep saying that he won't run until he is about four but I may be changing my mind a bit, maybe three and a half :).
Tasha's dogs were brilliant. Echo is three and has taken a loooong time to mature. He has also had a problem with other dogs which has knocked my sister's confidence with him. I have taken it upon my self to bully her into bringing him training! :) He did her proud today and went over three jumps in a row. Roo was amazing. She is the most hyper dog I have ever met, you can practically see her little brain going a million miles and hour. After she had calmed down a bit she was coming over four jumps to me for a cuddle then turning around and going over four jumps to Tasha for a cuddle. We don't train with netting at all so this was really good!!
Not a lot to say about Barley but she has been really good and has mastered being walked on the lead. Good little girl
