First tournament of the season

We just got back yesterday from the first flyball tournament of the year.  Diamonds in the Ruff travelled to Edmonton for the Northern Power Paws tournament.  We got some awesome passes in, just showing how much we have practiced over the winter.  I got to run Dash as well when Pepper sat out for a race.  It is definitely interesting running a dog that really knows his job!  When he gets in the lane, you barely have to touch him but you do have to say "Go" otherwise he will just look at you!  The team had a sub 20 second run on Saturday. 

Taz spent the weekend baching it with Ken.  It was good for him to have a stress free weekend.  No agility or flyball for him!  No flyball this coming weekend either so that will leave more training time for him at home.  We have lots to work on and just picked up a book on flatwork for agility.  I have many plans for Taz and training which really should be put down in a journal so I don't forget.

This coming year looks to be very busy for both agility and flyball.  We shall be attending one seminar for each sport this year.  There is a regional agility trial in Saskatchewan that we plan on attending.  It would be awesome to try for Nationals.  I know we are not ready but hey, while it is close to home, why not participate?!?!
