Scent Hurdle and Practice

Hmmmm, looks like I missed posting about the last Scent Hurdle tournament. The big news from that tournament is that Stark earned his next Scent Hurdle title. He is now Scent Hurdle Dog Master (SHDM). Congratulations Stark! With an honorable mention to Grace and Stephen for helping him to achieve this milestone.

At practice last night we had some new people. Naturally I forgot to take pictures and record names of anyone but hopefully we have some new Scent Hurdle dogs joining the team. A huge welcome to everyone who was there!

Friday Practice

An excellent practice last night. Some of the fun is listed below in roughly alphabetical order.

Ahab, Cuda, Digger, Jinx, and Robbie - got their game-face on for the Scent Hurdle tournament next weekend.

Cuda and Digger - got to play a little Flyball for the first time in quite a while.

DD - did a recall over all four jumps back to Donna. Yay DD!! She'll be a Scent Hurdle dog before you know it.

Mischief - starting to get the hang of these jump-things. She's still not quite convinced they're a good idea but she's working on it.

Oliver - still working on focusing while playing Scent Hurdle. He's been struggling a bit lately but Donna's working through it with him. And he got to run some Flyball which he seemed to enjoy.

Thor - proved he's still willing to run his lungs out playing Flyball.

Tonka - was taking the ball from the Flyball box with what will hopefully become a very nice turn and running back over the jumps with Kris. He'd never done more than the jumps before yesterday. Exiting stuff.
