\"photo<\/a>The boy did good … ish!<\/p>\n

Our lovely team the Little Owlers were in Division A, and we won two of six heats so not too shabby! We weren’t the fastest team in the world as we weren’t really bothering with changeovers, but all our dogs ran brilliantly<\/p>\n

Dylan handled the pressure fantastically, he took it all in his stride and was absolutely raring to go. He was even running some fairly close changeovers with Amber towards the end, with only a bit of hesitation. He’s going to be pretty quick when he gets going too, which is great!<\/p>\n

The only problem we had today was his box, and I’m really disappointed. All the training we’ve done just went completely out the window, he was effectively stopping in front of the box and taking the ball out before turning round, which of course messed up his stride for the return runs. Julie and I spent quite a while debating what to do! I think it’s going to be pretty much what I’d expected, which is to pull Dylan from all possible competitions until his box is perfect. I’m not willing to ruin his chance to have a perfect swimmer’s turn just to get some points or whatever — because he can do the turn, and it is absolutely perfect when he does it!<\/p>\n

Anyway, video! It’s pretty noisy (as flyball always is!) so be careful if you have the speakers on. Also, keep an eye on the other lane in the first race, you might spot the stunning Elliot from Ruffdogs<\/a> kicking our ass.<\/p>\n

(This video may go up on youTube sometime next week … for now it’s only available via the download link. It’s quite a big<\/em> file, just to warn!)<\/p>\n

There’s another version of the same first race here: http:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=pUfb0FlnAAU <\/a><\/p>\n

The undoubted star of the day was Chip, who just got better and better and better. He was unbelievably focussed and he an old pro at recalls and changeovers by the end of the day! He is going to be a serious one-to-watch, I can’t wait to see some Chip\/Murphy Lurcher Pairs later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
