Flyball and agility =]

Well summer is here, lots is happening. Lots of long dog walks down the beach, Ernie is even swimming now! Lots of trick training with Ernie. He is learning to criss cross as he walks and has almost got a completely unsupported handstand! That was one trick that looked impossible, and he has already done a few unsupported handstands! He really is such an amazing little dog!

Indi has suddenly developed a fear of... well... everything. At the flyball competition I brought a toy pheasant, and Indi is petrified of it. Hes also developed a fear of my room, and the garden. So our main focus at the moment is, of course, confidence building! That was also the reason for his peeing, he was too scared to pee in the garden.

At the flyball competition we came 6th. We had a very bad team, a JRT called Buffy who would rather run around the ring saying hi to all the dogs, a black lab who was very slow and dropped the ball a couple of times, my nans Kez who got scared by the black lab, me and Ernie and a beautiful tri blue merle collie who was the best dog in the team! Ernie did brilliant though. It was his first competition in a while, and I am so pleased with him. He dropped the ball a couple of times, but other than that he was very good!

We also went to our 2nd agility class this week. Ernie was much better and much more confident. He was showing more speed, and was showing to like it a lot more. He was much more confident on the see-saw and was running right up it, we still need to increase his speed coming back down, but he is getting better and more confident.

So for now some pics from the flyball competition. Of course, little Koko and the other little puppy called Lacey. We were asked to puppysit so I couldnt resist but have a photoshoot =]. Ernie puppysat with me, but wasnt as keen on the puppies. They are just way too cute =].
