It looks like my wife Susan is going to run Zio at Rude Dog West's Flyball Tournament the last weekend of September. We had 4-5 dogs that could go, but only three handlers.... so Susan needs to learn how to wrangle a flyball dog before the tournament.
The first day of her practice was pretty funny (I might have won AFHV's if I would have had the camcorder going). Zio came running back a little faster than she expected, but she recovered to start some good tug play. While running with the tug playing "keep away", she threw a shoe and ultimately took a tumble to the grass. Zio, being the loyal, loving, caring dog that he is, seized the opportunity to grab the tug and run off with it! Susan managed to stop laughing long enough to give chase as Zio had a rousing game of his version of keep away.
Oh, the practice? Zio was doing good turns with and without the ball. He actually had one of his best days for going to the empty box without hesitation. Good boy, Zio!
