Sadly this was our last flyball competition for this season :( but on the up side the season ended well :)

Jemma was running again (yay!) and was back as start dog for the extraset :) Although she didn't run across to the wrong lane at all, she was looking at the othe lane quite a lot on the way up, however I shall let her off as we still managed to win all our races and finish first with a best time of 20.02 - the same as our seed time :)

Elliot was back on the Rockets and ran well, although I tried him with a second ball for the first two legs and although he seemed to be running for it he wasn't catching it, he was just jabbing it with his nose and so it was flying everywhere! I then went back to the tuggy but Nat said he was still coming back nicely which is good. I shall carry on working on the second ball but I think I shall now start dropping it from lower than I was before and continue working on it over the winter. My change overs were rubbish though, he seemed to be even worse at being unable to stand up straight whilst lining up and so It hink this was throwing me a bit when it came to releasing him, again I guess something to work on over the winter. Rockets ended up finishing 3rd with a best time of 18.74 :)

Jemma has finally got her flyball dog certificate and she is currently on 480 points with Elliot on 910, however the points havn't been updated since daventy on may 23rd so I shall update once the points have been updated for the end of the season :)
