First Club Activity





This morning we had our first ever club activity. We all met up at Dianne's house at 9 am. It wasn't easy getting there on time after staying at Shawn's house so late. From Dianne's house we went over to the SCC campus for a packing/carting exercise. The idea was to get the dogs familiar with each other while walking in a group. We gave the dogs a job to do like carrying a backpack or pulling something so that they focused on their job instead of each other. It worked great! We took a little break in a shaded breeze-way and did a ball retrieve exercise. All of the dogs were successful. After the walk, we headed back to Dianne's house for some flyball practice. All of the dogs were able to accomplish more than we had anticipated. It was very exciting and rewarding to see.
