Rocket Relay Seminar #3

Really inspiring weekend at the Rocket Relay seminar, yet again. Kelly and Aaron are great teachers and it’s been 18months since their last seminar in the UK, so there was a lot to be reminded of.

I sort of wish I’d taken Dylan to run on the Sunday working slots as it was focused on dogs who have trouble changing/passing. Dylan has always been underconfident with his changes but it was still useful to see how it should be tackled. It still requires the root of the problem to be addressed, which is consistent lineups and jump heights, something we haven’t ever really had.

I might not be actively involved in flyball any more, but I’m still interested in the sport and the basis of the seminar focused on consistency in training, building a reward system, trainer problem solving, and timing. All good things for any dog trainer to learn about! Besides, I’m still assisting with a flyball starter course and (lazily) training Rio a good box turn, so the flyball relevant stuff doesn’t hurt either.
