What’s this? Flyball? I still haven’t joined another team and I’m still not really intending to get back into the sport in the immediate future. But a flyball taster session at North K9<\/a> came up, and I do quite want to try and teach one of my dogs to have a properly nice boxturn, so I took Rio.<\/p>\n

This was back at the venue that we did our Rally trial<\/a> at, so that was another good reason to get back there. Ri was absolutely fine with it, so I guess the silence and people-staring-at-her was the reason she freaked out last time. Good to see she doesn’t have any particularly negative associations there anyway!<\/p>\n

We did some tug\/drive work, some restrained recalls, and a little target work too. Beanie was great for the first 10mins, and then started to get distracted and airy-fairy, particularly as a few of the other dogs had squeaky toys. I elected to take her out into the hall and wait there whilst the other dogs worked, and she improved a bit. I got one restrained recall from her that I was happy with, but it does worry me that she still hasn’t got the same desire to work that she had pre-season.<\/p>\n

Her target work was brilliant, I’m really happy that she remembered everything and she was very focused during this session; apparently click+treat = awesome focused times! I’m going to try and get her onto the chute at some point this month too, although I realise my List of Things to Do this month is suddenly looking pretty long.<\/p>\n

I did some ball\/tuggy swap work at home as well this weekend and she remembered doing that too, which was cool. Maybe one day she’ll run flyball after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
