    Flyball Practice!

    Here's a video of Jers at flyball last night. She can do all four jumps, but for some reason I was starting her at two in this video.

    Anyway... here it is.

    Woohoo go Jersey, great stuff . Looks like you have a fast little girl on your hands .

    It was too dark to get video's Sunday at training, but Harri was doing 2 jumps, box/ball then the 2 jumps back. I am so proud of him. I would have tried a full run, but we were using the other 2 jumps for box work at the same time.

    Keep up the good work.

    Aw, that's awesome!! GO HARRI!

    She has a fast runback, but her outruns are pretty slow... she's a very shy dog, but hopefully with time she will gain more confidence and pick up her speed more.

    If you find that slow, the poor dog will have to fly to go any faster. That was some speed, looks like fun.

    Yep as she matures a bit more and her confidence grows she should pick up speed .

    Thanks, he is doing so well. Hopefully we will train a bit earlier next time so i can get some video's of him.

    shepgirl, they would not do it if they did not love it.. and you cannot 'make' a dog run faster, they go as fast as they want .

    I think shepgirl was complimenting Jersey by saying she was practically flying over the jumps. And the poor girl comment was said tongue in cheek, like jokingly saying poor misunderstood pup.

    In any case, she really is zooming and seems to be enjoying herself. I have a question, Jess. You are holding her back legs at the beginning of the runs. Is that to prevent her from taking off early, or is that to set in a certain position for the run?
