SPECTRUM DOGS: whippet flyball update
http://indigodogsports.blogspot.com/2013/03/whippet-flyball-update.html
A training and competition blog. Wednesday, March 20, 2013. Pax thinks he is a border collie and runs into the building for his recall. It's so cute! My plan for her at the moment is to get her to reliably do head to head recalls, and only allow her to greet people when released to do so.especially when it's training time! At home I'm working on her wall turn, tug drive and ball retrieve. I finally got out of my training rut with Pax and found a set up that works for him! Pivots – Better! X Marks the Spot.

SPECTRUM DOGS: October 2012
http://indigodogsports.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
A training and competition blog. Tuesday, October 23, 2012. Can-Am is always memorable. Remember when I went to CanAm in 2010? Sue and I loaded up Pax, Indigo, Goose, Stingray and Mustang along with crates, flyball gear, food, cooler etc. The car was very full! Pax ran pretty well in his very first race on Friday and then not so great for the rest of the weekend. He will be taking a break until the Spring for some retraining and his performance at CanAm shows that he really needs it! My second CanAm was ...

SPECTRUM DOGS: October 2013

A training and competition blog. Thursday, October 10, 2013. There are several things that have led me to start doing foundation jumping and stride training for flyball on a regular basis. 1 I have a dog in training and I don't want to retrain her later. 2 I am retraining Pax, who doesn't have great natural striding for flyball and didn't get the best foundation. 3 I am co-teaching an Active Dog Foundation class and want to make sure my students get an excellent foundation. 1 Shaping a jump. Now I do THIS.

SPECTRUM DOGS: March 2014
http://indigodogsports.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
A training and competition blog. Thursday, March 20, 2014. Training a Low Drive Dog for Flyball. Ah Spy. A beautiful body, but low tug/toy drive. She's fine with just hanging out and sleeping. Most people love that! She's a great and very easy dog. But I want her to LEARN STUFF and use that body to do things fast! I would give her food at the end of our session when she did a good job and if she didn't feel like it, I just didn't train her that day. I didn't get too far with this method. And act really s...

A training and competition blog. Saturday, February 23, 2013. First flyball tournament with the new team :). It's been awhile since I've posted! We had our first flyball tournament since December and first ever with our new team. It was lots of fun, despite the 8 hour drive. We got a new van. It's so lame and so awesome at the same time. Everything fit with no issue and we were are very comfortable, especially Finley. It's really the perfect size for us! I learned from watching this that I need to take o...

SPECTRUM DOGS: June 2012

A training and competition blog. Friday, June 29, 2012. Enhance Performance in Dogs with Herbs. At a recent flyball tournament we got some sample bottles of a product called AgilityPro. All of these wonderful benefits I am about to tell you about are not based from personal experience. It's based on studies in humans and reports of success from horse and canine vets. I'd love to know if anyone has used a performance enhancing supplement in their dogs and how it works! Which literally translates from.

SPECTRUM DOGS: January 2013
http://indigodogsports.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
A training and competition blog. Monday, January 14, 2013. PAX: I am pretty sure I already ruined Pax's muscle memory to take 3 strides off the box, by running him for a long time with the wrong striding. Looking back at videos from last year when I was training him, I had the gutters in the wrong place and was not setting him up well at all. For his wide box turn I've been laying a baby gate flat on the ground 1/2 way into the lane, so he can't go wide. Tuesday, January 8, 2013. We haven't been to any e...

SPECTRUM DOGS: September 2012
http://indigodogsports.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
A training and competition blog. Sunday, September 9, 2012. There is still plenty of competition here in New England, but I think Pax does well enough to make it worth while and wow does he LOVE IT! He is crazy for flyball, but out of his mind for racing. At the last two meets he was 7th and 6th place, which I am very happy with. I think his stamina and again huge amount of drive actually help. He seems to do better than some of the other dogs in the 3rd and 4th programs. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
