Last practice

We had our last practice before the tournament tonight. Most of the dogs and people weren't there, but we had enough to run a full lineup a couple times.

Pallo is running last in this line up:


And Koira is running second in this lineup:



I know. She has a terrible turn. But, at over a year and a half since her last race, I made the decision to run her with the turn she has instead of spending forever trying to fix it. Normally, in practice, she runs with a box jump in place, which gives her a much nicer turn. Since we won't be able to use props at the tournament, I wanted to see what Koira would do without them. She does a smash-and-grab, apparently. I'll be working with her box work a bit more after this tournament, to see if I can improve it any.

And, at the risk of repeating myself (probably for the billionth time), I am super excited for the tournament this weekend. It feels like its been forever, even for Pallo, who raced a few months ago.
