    Keep your eye on the ball, Sca, and you'll do just fine. Hope Sheep has lots of treats for you.

    No runs but he did nice FAST warmups the last two races. We had 3 dogs get four titles including Indy the BC crossing 10000 points including over 700 today :eek2: strong chance Sca runs tomorrow.

    Fantastic. So it as just full recalls in the ring today? We've started doing that with our green dogs - first comp is recalls to let them get used to being in the ring and for team captains to see how to manage them when they do run. If he didn't cross over that means he may just be ready for his first competition run. Woohoo Sca! Hopefully he will realise its working time and not visiting time.

    How does a dog get 700 points in one day? The most Tully has ever gotten is 32 and that is a lot for one day. I think the most we can get is 48, and that's only if every race is really tight. We do best of 3 or 5 heats (depending on the weather) and usually with 6 races.

    We are doing our first indoor comp next Saturday. Any handy hints?

    Kind of, recall then actual down back run. Morning he went touring but by days end he did two runs with the distractions, clean. NAFA rules does more points plus she ran on three teams. We had two loaner dogs to teams that were short to help them

    Indoors bring a fan and ear protection if you aren't already deaf. It will be louder than you are used to and hotter than you guess.
