Flyball Training 2

Another good training session this morning!

Last week Dylan’s boxwork completely disintegrated. We had one of the boxes at home and I’ve been doing 5-10 minutes a day with him (and Mollie, because she loves anything flyball related and it certainly won’t make her box any worse!) which has been going really well. When we arrived today I did a couple of minutes with him before we did any proper runs, and then asked Katie to just make sure the cone was in for all his full runs. It made such a difference! He was turning nicely and towards the end did a couple of brilliant swimmer’s turns that I was very pleased with. He was also a bit more enthusiastic this week, and did some great changeovers with Amber. He’s still not very confident about Chip running into him, and we had a couple of run-outs, but overall it was a positive session.

Kim and Mollie are due to run in the same team at Carlton Towers, and their old team-mate Jetsome is also due to rejoin them for the day. Jet is running wickedly fast times in our top team at the moment, but I’m sure she won’t mind running over little 10″ jumps and playing with the old gang for a day. They were all running together today, and were absolutely flying despite the mud and the lack of opposition! They can all step up a gear in competition but I haven’t seen them so fast in training for a while, some of our stamina training must be paying off.

On a completely different note, I’m also back on MSN now, so as a reminder my hotmail address is kayanem@hotmail.co.uk. It’s still more reliable to get in touch with my via my gmail as even when I’m on MSN, I’m usually doing something else at the same time and can’t chat so much.
