Well training has been going so well with Cai he loves his flyball and it is really helping him to become a more normal dog and not so nervous. The team i train with the Shooting Stars are just fantastic and have made me feel so welcome and have been really understanding with Cai.
As today was our club show i really wanted Cai to get a chance to run in a starters class and he did! He had only met a few of the dogs before as we borrowed some dogs from other teams so i was a bit worried he would let me down but freaking out but he was amazing He was actually one of the best dogs in out team and went so fast, and although i ran him last out of the four dogs and often sent him quite late he managed to make up the time and we managed to win a few heats.
It really was an amazing feeling watching my 'problem' dog doing what he loves best without having to worry about him too much. Flyball really is a fantastic sport with everyone who competes being so welcoming and friendly i really wish i had started sooner.
Our team finally managed to come 7th out of 8 but i was so please with him that the fact we didnt come last was amazing!
