We had our first tourney this weekend and Cooper did AMAZING!
He made me so proud! I had him just signed up for singles-in his first race of the day he won 2 of the 4 heats! By the second race he was ready to go! He won all 4 heats! The other dog even chased him down the lane (not sure if he was trying to attack him or what-he was pulled out the next day) but Cooper didn't even notice until he was already coming for his tug! He fastest time that day was 5.6 (that is with a 1.8 reaction time-i still cannot get that figured out).
The second day we went to do single and it was all Cooper (the other dog did not run). We got mostly false starts because I had him back at 40ft and let him go when I did the previous day but he was getting there too soon! His fastest time was a 5.2 (with I believe a 1.3 reaction time-so a little better). We were surprised when he was asked to run with the team!
