Zeke's graduation..

[cali]

good luck! I dont see why they would not allow him in house leagues, do they not have fencing up for house leagues there? over here its nothing but glorfied practice, and they put fenceing up because the dogs there will be new and may cross over. Misty only does house leagues, she is afraid of tourniment situations so she goes to house leagues to help her get over that

[slleipnir]

No, the fencing is down in the house leagues

[cali]

oh really? how do you guys do house leagues over there? its obviously not the same as over here lol

[slleipnir]

I actually have no idea yet. I hope to find out soon though. I believe it is just practicing though. Like, have 2 dogs going at the same time in the different lanes.

We had level 1 and level 2 to prepare for the house league, I guess that's why they don't want dogs who cross lanes? I'd assume even the really good dogs cross lanes sometimes though..

lol yup there are always mistakes, our house leauges are almost exactly like tourniments lights and all exept there is fencing down the middle and you can do everything you would be allowed to do in tourniment warmups, so running up with your dog, jumpes in front of the box, knee's, etc..

Sounds good. I'm kinda glad they are taking the fencing down though, cause I want Zeke to learn not to chase the other dogs. He seems to do ok so long as he is in front, but if he sees the dog ahead he follows them.

Where does your team go for tourneys?? I hope Zeke will get to enter in some touneys sometime, and I heard you get to go to a few different places. That'd be fun

I actually quite the club because of Elsie lol and my mom quite like yesterday also because of Elsie lol. but our teams usually travel to manatoba, or saskatoon tournys, we have been to an edmonton tourny and my mom has practiced Ripley with calgary confuzion. our storm team also goes to miniapolise(cant spell lol) every year. my mom and I are dreaming of starting a new fllyball club in this city though, Kaos has been talking about a split as they are so big and this city needs more clubs, so me, my mom, Kathy, and if we can get some kaos members aboard we may start our own club called the bandana bandits

Happy crossed over all the time when she was a pup lol what we did with dogs that crossed over was plexie glass between the lanes, they THINK there is nothing stoping them from crossing until *boom* lol dont work with a super soft dog though lol

thats awesome! Zeke sounds like he's being such a good boy.. I really hope you make the House League! we don't have house leagues in the US, as far as I know. you just join a team, usually the one that you train with.

I don't know why they wouldn't accept you? As long as Zeke isn't chasing the other dogs agressively, and won't do it with fencing, they will usually accept whoever as far as I've seen. Gonzo runs the MOST un-safely I've ever seen it's so sad. He also can only start, he sucks at passing, and he still hasn't quite realized that flyball is not the dog park.. . But he has been accepted onto a really, really good competitive team, and another team has gone after him. Why, I really dont know. Currently he's just going into training again, and he's the team mascot for now Fun matches are the best!

We definitely need pics of Zeke!!! Ask your Mom to take them, if she can . I know it can be really hard to get a half decent picture of dogs doing flyball, though.

Yay Zeke!!! Good Luck!

[slleipnir]

No one comes with me to flyball lol

[GraciesMommy]

Good Luck, Zeke~~
