Training & Vet Check - 20th May

Today we had Training for the entire Team and also the Vet Check.

All the team members passed the Vet Check and then the Team had a total of 16 minuites training on the quite sandy Astro-turf, and the equipment which of course is very different to the UK stuff.

A lot of people were worried about the Astro-Turf surface that they had to run on, as it's quite short pile, however the dogs handled well and so far there doesn't seem to be any burnt pads(fingers crossed)!

The contacts are rubber coated, with sort of riges on it although our dogs don't seem to be bothered at all with it. The wall that is being used is made entirely of Metal for each of the peices, although apart from the poles everything is in Metal.

Now we have the rest of the day to rest before the main competition starts tomorrow, which includes the Individual and Team runs...
