Racing Nikon

Flyball tonight was really fun! Kastle is consistently running the whole sequence now. He raced Nikon tonight and did well. We had a couple of rubber-necking incidents that resulted in some wild and crazy non-box-turns but overall he did great. For his age. LOL He's competitive that is for sure! Tonight I also had a volunteer to hold the mattress to catch him against. That was really nice - he didn't mind at all, and hit it properly, with his sides and it reduced the strain on my shoulder/arm and his neck!
He killed the tennis ball on his tug :-(
Now it's not as good of a reward because he'd rather chase the loose tennis balls. Unfortunately (for him), I don't care and made him be satisfied with the rope and no ball. I am looking into ways to make it better (Gappay Ball? Orbee balls?) for the future but for now, he'll just have to feel rewarded with the rope and tugging.
