Team practice - racing against Sammy

First practice in a while due to agility activities. Tried something I don't think we've done before: racing Walter against another dog (Sammy). He was in the right lane, Sammy in the left, and someone held him for me while I stood around the fourth jump. He was very aware of Sammy's presence and kept messing up his turn, either not doing it at all or forgeting the ball, but he was starting to get the hang of it after a few runs. It was fun and I'd like to do more of it at our next practice (which won't be for a while due to other activities) so he really starts to get it.

His only reward today was the long fleece tug which he enjoyed.
