BEEZE-NUTS! Today was our last day of Fly Ball training for the summer due to me picking up a Sunday shift at the museum. It wasn't our BEST day but I still managed to capture some video clips to share with MY CORGI . COM! hahaha...Fly ball is FUN.COM!



Ok I am done.com - with the.com...



Fly ball did strap our relationship to a tighter fitting.

I love having that obligated time with my shortie and her non exsistant knees.

Nothing can break our bond! Or maybe me… Continue

Kenzie and I started our first Fly Ball class today!



Lucky for US, we were the only ones there! Hahaha..

Something about people being in California?



I really think I picked the jack pot for her out of dog sports in regards to her personality.

She climbed on the Fly Ball Box like it was a jungle gym and wagged her tail when it clicked.



I thought she might be scared of the strange object or at least the noise. Nope.

Any other suggestions?

The trainer said maybe give her a gaggle here and there, but… Continue

Kenzie and I got a response from the Fly Ball Trainer!

It's at a great facility near us. I went through the website and was impressed.

Started scanning the course list.

I noticed the facility also hosts a Canine Good Citizen Class.

This course would prepare the dog to take the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen test. They will be working on the ten items that they will be tested on;…
