Great Demo in Brown County, IN

This past weekend we traveled to Brown County, Indiana and did a demonstration of flyball at the Pet Walk held in Deer Run.

Everyone was very enthusiastic at the antics of our "trained flyball dogs" who appeared to have lost their minds. During the first demo, many of the dogs forgot how to navigate the jumps and bring the ball back. The dogs had to deal with wet grass and a misty rain that was falling. I think it was just too much for them to deal with right at the start.

However, on the next demos every dog was doing great, including Frank the Boston and Jollie who were out for the very first time demonstrating their flyball skills.

During the Pet Walk Event, there were games the dogs could play. We all had a great time at the Fastest Fetch, The Shoe Sniff, (Agility)Doggie Dash, Potato Race, and various other contests. Some of the dogs even won awards because they topped all the other dogs there.

Spirit brought home 2 medals - 1st place in Fastest Fetch and 2nd Place in Doggie Dash.

Raven brought home 1 place in Potato Race

Dixie won a prize for the Most Unusual Ears

Sam brought home 2nd place in Fastest Fetch.

A good time was had by all, and we hope they will invite us back next year!

Flyball Demo in Nashville, IN 5/15/11

We will be doing a flyball demo at Deer Run Park in Nashville, IN, on May 15, 2011 from 1-4PM.  We'll have dogs of all sizes, breeds, and skill levels. 

The event is sponsored by the Brown County Humane Society.  More details are here.  Everyone and doggie will have a great time.  We hope to see you there.

Deer Run Park is only a mile from downtown Nashville.  It is where the soccer field and ball diamonds are.

The "X" marks the spot on the map. The red lines goes from the light in the middle of town to the park.

If you are coming from I-65, you will get exit on the 2nd Columbus Exit for State Rt 46.  Follow that until it T's in Nashville, and turn right.  Go to the stop light in the middle of town and turn left.  The Nashville House is on the right, the Courthouse is across the street, and there is a 2 story white building on the left.  This is Main Street, but will turn into Helmsburg Road when you leave town.  You will go through one turn (or you'll hit the hill). about a 1/4 mile the road will turn to the right.  You will go straight instead, but be careful, as it is right on the curve.  There's a big sign that says Deer Run Park.  If you see McLary Road on your left, you have gone about a 1/4 mile too far.

If you are coming down State Route 135, you will be coming down a hill into the middle of town. Turn right at the light in the middle of town.  A 2 story stone building with a patio area is on your right and the courthouse is on your left.   This is Main Street, but will turn into Helmsburg Road when you leave town.  You will go through one turn (or you'll hit the hill). about a 1/4 mile the road will turn to the right.  You will go straight instead, but be careful, as it is right on the curve.  There's a big sign that says Deer Run Park.  If you see McLary Road on your left, you have gone about a 1/4 mile too far.
