Yesterday was the first SAWHDA club day at the Cowley Hall and it was well-attended for sure.
We began with warm-ups and work in obedience and then Tubby Miller stepped in to judge the Open and Novice routines. We practiced sits/downs as well and went away with a set idea of what we have to work on to further ready our dogs for competition.
We moved on to scent hurdle practice and had some good performances here as well. Kipper even managed to find his dumbbell! It was great to see Donnie, Darryl, Liz, Amanda, Kim, Judy, and Jolene again.
We did some relay sprints and barrels with those club dogs that are travelling to Fort Macleod for the October 15th performance and then we did a Novice Rally course as well. Hobie loves the relays as does Drummer. And MoJo was running hard again, which is so nice to see. I think he wore Russell out!
We loved the Elvis tunes, especially for Rally.
In between, MaryEllen helped us with conformation practice with the pups and we had a chance to visit with Lanny, Barb's new fluffy puppy.
And a couple of us pulled out the old-style "armed" flyball box and worked our dogs at that. Drummer pretty well has the idea up close and now will work on distance and jumps. Ryder too. Tessa just loved the entire idea of a ball being tossed to her from a machine. And Hunter lucked out and hit the box a couple of times. He has the best catch, but then I think he has the widest mouth too!
We ended our day around two o'clock. Thanks to all who attended. It is so good to see you again.
