Almost Flyball Tourney Ready!!!

I am really hoping Kastle will be ready for singles by the June tournament which is in nearby Hastings. He has only been doing the whole sequence a few times at training and rarely against another dog. This time, he raced consistently against Pan and did fairly well. He rubbernecks a bit, which is annoying and caused some...interesting side effects. Since I work him at home on an elevated push board he accidentally cleared the box at training tonight twice because he wasn't looking where he was going and used his muscle memory. This is good and bad all at once. I will remind him the size of the box he's to work on by doing some boxturns only at the start of practice from now on.

I'm REALLY excited because his turns are really cleaning up overall, the sequence is getting clearer, we have started to make him move over in his lane for passing and, most importantly, he's wicked fast! He's almost as fast as Pan and he's not even 11 months old yet! :-D Pan is the record setting GSD in U-Fli - Kastle now has a goal hehe ;-)
