A Good Practice

We had a good team practice. Zio remains a constant and is becoming more and more dependable. He is also useful as a distraction to the up and coming dogs that aren't focused on their own lanes and turns. Zio will bark and lunge to "encourage" the dogs in the other lane to go fast and do good turns!

We tried to work with Burst on keeping her in the lane while passing Zio. I intentionally made the first pass very wide and she did fine. On the next run, she bailed out of the lane before I had even released Zio. We moved them both to the lane with the baby gates up so that she HAD to stay in the lane and worked up to reasonably close passes. We will have to keep trying this until she is confident that the big dog coming in her direction isn't going to bother her.

Wisp was limping again after last weeks practice so he's headed to the orthpedic vet Friday to see if they can determine why he keeps coming up injured since our Memphis weekend. Get better Wisp... Bonham is in a month and we're going to need you in Vegas!
