Training today

Had our usual Sunday afternoon training session today. I had Storm out first. He's doing extremely well and did a few full runs in the netting. He does wonderful 4 paw turns on the box with the low hurdle in front. Storm came back out again after some of the other starter dogs did some training and was to have a go at running with Roi, one of Katherine's dogs and Jack, Stefan's dog. Storm ran second dog and had no problems at all with Roi returning and then Jack setting off. Sam decided to see how they'd do if the netting was moved away a little and all 3 dogs ran perfect. The netting was moved further away and again all 3 dogs ran great. They then switched over onto the other lane with no netting and Storm ran absolutely brilliant, I was so proud of my little man. There was one incident where Roi dropped his ball as he came back through the start and Storm grabbed it on his way to the box so when he got there he already had a ball so things went a bit pear shaped. He did return back over the hurdles though. Monty came out for a run a short time after. The other lane had been increased to 8 jumps and he did some runs with Nell, one of Val's dogs. Running over 8 hurdles is testing and soon tires them out. Storm has only had a few training sessions but has picked it up so quickly. He's only 7 month old so must take it steady as we don't want to burn him out before he's even entered his first competition.
