I hereby announce that Walter's days of training in flyball are over. He has patiently humoured me for all this time. But, after some thought I've concluded that the possibility of physical damage over the long term from doing so many boxturns given his big, top-heavy structure is too high. Walter's never been crazy about flyball so it's just not worth the risk. The two of us much prefer agility over flyball and it would be crummy if injuries sustained in flyball put an early end to our agility fun.
Walter's three years of training in flyball have been a fun and challenging journey and I'll miss his flyball training. But, I'll continue to enjoy his flyball career vicariously through watching his mom, who is a fantastic flyball dog! :)

i made a similar decision to leave flyball for agility with my corgi. The corgi is happier (although he did seem to enjoy flyball) and I control the jump heights in agility which makes me pretty happy. :)
Hi Suzzie,
Must have been a more difficult decision for you since your corgi enjoyed flyball. Agility is great though isn't it? :) Thanks for stopping by.
