(Backfilled in October 2009 due to impending closure of Geocities)
Today was the team's first practice with our second set of jumps! Lucy did several full runs (now with all four jumps) with box sprung. I will make a point of doing two or three warm-up turns before bringing in the jumps and ball since she does much better that way. We ran out of time so didn't do any other exercises today. After practice our team went to watch some flyball in Carp. I got Lucy to do some sits, downs, and other stuff to get her focus while all the competing dogs were barking, to get her used to working with all that noise. She's pretty easygoing and doesn't seem bothered by the noise. I ballshagged for one race while Lucy hung out with Abby and barked. Thanks to Tim, here are some fun photos of Lucy at today's practice:
A little awkward at first...
Getter better...
After a few warm-up runs, now she's really into it.
On the box (this might have been a warm-up run with no ball)
Got the ball, now back over the four jumps to go get her reward for a job well done!
