Box Work With Cooper

Cooper continues to work on his box.  Since his initial training, we've learned alot about what a flyball box turn should look like and how to get him motivated to move his rear up as high as possible while catching his ball...  Adding to this, we're working on his striding to make sure he singles on the way back between the 5th and 6th jump.

Its been a tough road since he didn't have a solid foundation at the beginning, but we're seeing lots of progress with the help of everyone over the past season from our team members to his new coach.  Here we are working with Aaron from Rocket Relay.

Camden Breaks The Glass Ceiling...

It's official that The Flyball Boys have opened their doors for full integration to include their first female member... PSF Mini Wildfire Vroom aka Camden had joined our team back in September and well on her way with her flyball foundational skills...  We're excited to see how far she goes...

Rockey Relay Seminar

Cooper and Camden headed to Las Vegas for a weekend of learning and fun.  We attended the Rocket Relay Flyball Seminar hosted by X Flyball with Cooper in a working spot on both Saturday and Sunday.  What a great opportunity to work the skills taught by Aaron and the RR team.

We learned so much about the flyball foundational components that were missing in Cooper's initial training and what can now be applied to Camden's foundational work.  Additionally, we were able to pick up lots of different tips and advice from everyone involved on training and competition readiness.  It was great watching everyone work their dogs with Aaron interjecting on what can be done to help bring them to the next level of flyball work.

Overall, what a great weekend and to come back with a solid foundation and understanding of what it takes to bring a puppy up to flyball readiness is priceless.  Along the way, we got some great advice on Cooper's continued work and basic exercises to help drive Camden's foundational work....
