The Newbies- Chase, Cookie, Maizie
worked on fetch
jumping
finding the jump at angles
fetching from the box
beginning of discrimination
The In-Betweeners- Swift, Crawford
discrimination
carrying the dummy all the way back :)
passing
The Running dogs- Roxy, Kort, Pixel, Bosley
worked on passing
discrimination
speed
The People
talked about rules
box loading practice :) (we all need to learn!!!)
race how to's and questions
All in all it was a pretty great session- the newbies are catching on super well, and the two in between dogs are quickly catching up to the running dogs! Swift and Crawford both have come a long way in a short time! Although they may need to provide ear plugs to the rest of the team :) And the running dogs did great- focused and having a good time!
We also decided that Swift should be ready for Red Deer for sure. Crawford is still in limbo :)
Our next team practice will be Sunday, March 13th at 2pm!

Practice
In attendance:
Maureen/Crawford
Julia/True
Judy/Roxy
Kim/Bosley
Amanda/Pixel
Liz/Cava
Jolene/Kort
Shauna/Chase
Mel/Rosie
Donna/Swift
What we did:
The better question is, what didn't we do!
The running dogs practiced with jumps ,without jumps, just racing to the box for the dumbbell, & restrained recalls for a faster run over the jumps.
The newer dogs worked on restrained recalls as well, first one jump, then back chaining until 4 were used. They worked on fetching first off, then on the box, as well as some scent discrimination.
It was great to see the newer dogs coming along so quickly, they will be racing in no time :)
Next practice will be Sunday Feb 27 @ the new time of 4 pm due to a busy day of other activities for some of the team.
See you then!

Newbies, and Training News
Amanda has been busy finding new team members. :)
Swift is a Australian Cattle Dog. She was rescued a few years ago and has certainly come a long way. She believes that all things should be done as fast as possible, and has a great zest for training. She and Donna make a great team.
Rosie is a German Shorthair pointer who is owned by Mel. She loves to fetch, and will catch on to the game pretty fast! She has also started doing Rally Obedience and will be hitting the ring this spring/summer.
Chase is a Shetland Sheepdog. He and his owner Shauna have been hanging out in the agility ring for the past few years and are looking to add some more fun to their lives. Chase likes fetching and has already figured out the best way to carry the dumbbell. He will give Crawford a run for his money barking wise. :) We may need to supply our competition with ear plugs.
And last but not least, Cookie! Cookie is a Munsterlander, and pending with the CKC will hopefully be able to be on our team. He is a goofy boy who will add some humour and fun to the team. He and his owner Jamie also play in agility and hope to hit the ring this summer.
Yay for new dogs!!! Being a team sport it is really important to help each other out, and on our team we believe in open communication and helpfulness. Our practices will be split in half for the next bit- with equal time for the newbies, and the already running dogs. Due to the increase in team members we will be closing our practice times to MEMBERS ONLY. This will allow us to spend more time focusing on getting the new dogs started, and fine tuning the team getting ready to race.

Looking Good !
In Attendance:
Kim/Bosley
Maureen/Crawford
Amanda/Pixel
Jolene/Kort
Judy/Roxy
Donnie/Zydeco
Daryl/Betty
Julia/True
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......
