Despite the lack of sharing. Griffin went to Posidog 4 times this week, was in two classes (off leash and flyball). We had some great things at both classes and in our other training sessions... only one of them was not productive. Blaze went once, got to play fetch and run and crashed into the dog walk. Luna went once and did some recalls and running and being brave.
I've been trying to get into competition obedience classes, I have one person for privates potentially, no replies from two others I contacted about group/privates. I emailed another that's running group classes for CD or above and begged to either get into the class (and we'll sit out on what we can't do) or for that person to teach a novice class... basic obedience is run at the facility, but that's not what we need.
Flyball:
It was only Griffin and another dog. We had fun doing (almost) full runs and working on the pass-by skills. The other dog is doing full runs with great box turns (so we think at least!), and Griffin is still limited in what he should physically be doing, so we had him only running down or only running back, depending on what part we were working in. We were bad people and let him go down for the ball and back a few times (no box) and he was so cute.
Off Leash Class:
We worked on recalls past another dog (literally running over his tail!), the dog running past him, dogs heeling past, and sits at a distance.
Earlier in the week:
Go outs that were ADORABLE. There is video. He was pouncy and fast and very responsive to the Sit.
My record keeping system needs a major update. Has anyone made any recent record keepin changes? Found great ideas? I'm currently planning to mush together multiple documents, colored fonts, and some excell sheets....

Sending for a ball bad...? We will send dogs for a ball without jumps, especially a dead or bouncing one. :)
Griffin is supposed to be on limited activity for a full recovery... we were not yet given permission to be doing flyball, let alone down and back at full speed....
Im going to exercise better self control tomorrow!!
Ahh! I was thinking "bad" flyball bad, not "bad" poor Griff isn't supposed to be exercising that much yet "bad!"
I was very unclear, sorry!
But the small dog and Griffin are almost-ish doing full runs. We just need to get a few more dogs to be as far along!
Haha. Good! You can always go try singles or pairs at a UFLI..
Haha! Thats great! You can always go run UFLI singles or pairs... And there is always p/u or open until you get a full team... Our new flyball class has 13 or 14 dogs in it! :o We ended up making it more like 3 classes that rotate through stations.
