Clean Run - January 2016 - 6

and exceptional teamwork and communication-it's a bond we all should strive for.
They went through a lot together, some very traumatic experiences, but they always
emerged even closer than before, and with a nice moral to the story to go with it.
Could you imagine if Timmy and Lassie had ever run agility? If Timmy could send
Lassie back to the farm to inform his parents that he had fallen in a well, surely sending her to a tunnel and A-frame would have been a piece of cake! She'd have surely
been MACH100 Lassie!
10. In the end, it's just a game. I think we have it all backwards. We train and train with
the objective of going to trials and earning Qs and titles, the end all, be all. But in the
grand scheme of things, what happens in the ring during those few short minutes is
insignificant. Relationships with our dogs are not made in the ring or on the field,
they are made in all those thousands of hours leading up to a run and following it.
Keep that your focus and don't damage your relationship because things didn't go as
you would have liked for those few short seconds.
