(Backfilled in October 2009 due to impending closure of Geocities)
Today was Walter's first house league event! Since he doesn't yet do full runs, he did some recalls instead:
- First race: Did one recall only, in the warmup. No problems although I realized as I looked back at him that I had run all the way to the back of the run area, forcing him to run on his own through an area with a lot of activity on both sides of him. He looked somewhat nervous doing so (and I felt like such a goof for inadvertently asking him to do that) but he came straight to me and did some good tugging. Thank goodness he is such a good dog and forgives me for making mistakes!
- Second race: Walter ran recalls as the last dog in the line-up. I ran only a short distance past the timers and he did just great, preferring to tug than to get treats.
I was very happy with his performance and am inspired to continue working on his dead-ball retrieve!
