Rave has recently put on her big girl pants and successfully run a full flyball course! Now that we have some speed its time to really tweek her box into something brilliant! She gave me new information about exactly what she need from to to continue to have further success! Its very fun to watch her progress because you can see her thinking and putting it all together! Go Rave!
Now her box isn't close to perfect but its getting there! Step by Step! Both of my dogs have had no problems driving to the box to get the ball, its always the drive back that we need the work on. It's very funny, with Rave its the complete opposite! Go figure! She wasn't sure it was a good idea to work away from me... double steping jumps and thinking about turning around... What a difference 2 weeks makes! She single stepped every jump and successfully brought her ball back.... AND!.... dropped the ball for the tug! Go Rave!
Now that she can handle running by herself time to add a dog in the other lane! Cross your 9fingers things continue to go as smoothly as they have this far!
Happy Training!

What kind of tug are you using? I have Indy (a Havoc x Singe 2010 boy) from Brittney. He's 7 months old and I just started him in flyball. He likes balls but doesn't want to tug like Rave didn't want to tug. She looks like she's pretty interested in the tug now. Nice job!
