Katherine and Kimba Glad you had a good time It was really nice to meet you and your dogs. Ron said to ask if Maddie has a toy that she absolutely loves. If you bring that along next week, we can get her fetching that on the runs - anything goes in a starter competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest knm_lea Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Congrats on your first training session! I read in the other post that you were going, I wondered how you got on. Good luck at Easter - If you mean Selby, both my dogs usually run there for our teams. It's a lovely spot and a fabulous competition, you should have loads of fun!

gooster Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 No it's not at Selby - it's the Cheshire Set's own show at Ryecroft Farm. We don't enjoy the show at Selby... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyandmeg Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Murphy started flyball for the first time on thursday too! He was a little star! By the end of the session he would run to the end of the lane fetch a ball and come back to me. I was so pleased. Mind you hes not the sharpest tool in the box and to start with he kept falling over the hurdles, looking at me as if to say " who left these there, well what a silly place to leave them!"

Kimbas_mum Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Kimba was managing to do the full run of jumps, collect the ball and run back down over the jumps too, really good and fast over the jumps, but is a bit worried about the box, well he is only little and it is a very big scary box (or so he thinks, he is actually a rather large doberman!!)

gooster Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Awww he did really well Katherine - Charliegoo refused to go near the box for a good few weeks as the noise absolutely terrified him. To look at him now, you wouldn't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACKYSIAN Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Sounds like it was great fun! I still haven't plucked up the courage to ring the people in Anglesey!!! will definately do it though...I have a feeling that while Sidney will get the ball he won't come back over the jumps!!!

gooster Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Doooooo ittttttttttttt Don't worry, to begin with they aren't given the option of making mistakes and running round the jumps. Plus you go over the jumps too, so it's suggesting to him that if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for him too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbas_mum Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Gooster is right, it is made very hard for them to go wrong, and even if it does, on-one seems to mind, one of mine was having much fun running off round the field going to everyone except me!! everyone just laughed and we had another go!! It is great fun and I reckon your mob would love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest knm_lea Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 No it's not at Selby - it's the Cheshire Set's own show at Ryecroft Farm. We don't enjoy the show at Selby... I've only run at Selby once, and my dog had a great time, it was really good racing all day. Having said all that, last year it was quite ... unfriendly(? not sure if that's the right word) and we can't attend this year as most of the flyball dogs are training at Anglesey. I've raced at Ryecroft too a few times -- unfortunately it always seems to rain, and Kim hates rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all a bit regimented and too many rules with the camping for our liking... Last year one of our members with a smaller tent ended up sharing her space with day parkers and all their gubbins (also have a bit of history with a member from that team whom I'd rather avoid ) The flyball runs are always near the shooting too, which doesn't impress my big wuss of a dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
