oh yay!! good job! I know, it is *so* hard, and so confusing... I don't think I could ever do that. everything just goes so fast, but I guess you get used to it. I'm still not used to it! I know Zeke will do so well, just keep practicing that swimmers turn!

About ball motivation, just make sure you don't leave balls laying around the house or yard, only let him play ball when you're doing flyball, or when you're playing fetch. Make a huuge deal about the ball, throw it around, roll it, and generally tease him with it he will do sooo well. Gonzo and me, we still can't really get into flyball because he still has problems passing.... other dogs will always be more fun to him than any old ball, so he'll always have to be a start dog in only fun matches, I think. Flyball is so much fun anyway! good luck with everything!
