What We Did:
Today we started with some restrained recalls over the jumps to get the dogs pumped up & ready.
We had gotten a few trial runs in & then "Due South" arrived to race with us. Thanks for coming guys!
Our dogs were super running against the other team! They really stepped things up a notch it seemed, show offs:) LOL!
We had our meeting to get a feel for who was able to go to which race. We have pretty much decided to give Red Deer a try. Amanda is going to see if we can get a box loader as we will all be running & we don't have that extra person yet to load our box.
We collected money for things we have bought or gotten made so far....if you haven't paid your $12, you can give it to Jolene at the next practice.
We had enough money to pay Liz for the vests she made, but still need to pay Kim for paint & Judy for the jumps.
Jolene is taking care of getting our vests ordered, we have decided on the logo on the front, without ours or our dogs names.
Amanda is working on finding someone to finish off the rest of the vests for the dogs, anyone sew LOL!
We have decided on the following dates for our next practices as well, this gives us 5 weeks before going to Red Deer.
They will be at our usual time of 2......
Feb 20 & 27
March 13,20 & 27

We had a great practice this afternoon.
We were joined by Judi & her dogs Drummer & Token, Sharlet & her dog Ryder, & Deb who was box loading today.
It gave the dogs some new distractions, new dogs & lots of noise to work in.
The team is coming along super & starting in January we will be officially competing!..yikes!
Merry Christmas to all, see you in the New Year !

We managed to sneak in one more practice today as we won't be having another one for about a month.
Tea showed us how hard she had been working & was flying across all 4 jumps to retrieve her dumbbell, way to go Julia & Tea!!
We basically worked on our passing & doing everything as if in a trial. We even had a whistle blown to start the race!
Next practice will be Nov 28, 2-3 pm.
See you then !

What We Did:
We worked really hard tonight :) We were able to set up 2 lanes with 4 jumps for the first time thanks to Judy's amazing husband! He made us a set of jumps & they are gorgeous! Kim is taking them home to paint them & make them all pretty :) Thanks Kim!
We started off by placing a food bowl out at the end of the jumps, the dogs only got their reward if they took all 4 jumps. It wasn't long before they were all speeding up to the bowl.
We did some more distractions while the dogs raced...Liz had a stuffed toy & threw it up in the air & let it drop as the dogs ran by... I know Roxy & Kort couldn't resist , and maybe Bosley, but every one else did well.
It was wonderful to see Betty taking the jump & bring her dumbbell back over. Zydeco was super focused & also took his jump each time & brought the dumbbell back. Crawford is coming along very quickly, retrieving & bringing back his dumbbell quickly, he is working on being a quiet corgi too ! :))
We found out that we can "shadow" people during the scenthurdle races in Lethbridge at the end of Nov...this way we can see what each job consists of up close & personal.
And super exciting news....we may be able to practice with the other 4 teams after the official races in Lethbridge. This will be just fantastic for the dogs as well as the new handlers!
We have had to change our practice day to Sundays due to the start up of agility practice again.
All in all a great night!
Next practice Sunday Oct 31 ( BOO ! )...11am-12
See you then!
