Elixir really gave it her all to pass Dane and win the race. She's an awesome race dog, but she did terrorize Helio near the end and that wasn't very good because he got panicked & frazzled. The socializing was a lot better, as I could control her more. I would work on getting her to speed up more quickly, because she's usually the one with a late start, which is why it was such a close race. Dane seemed improved in this race; a lot more focused & very fast. He nearly won, but Elixir managed to speed up just enough to take the win from him. You're doing amazingly well with him & I would kill for a race dog like him, heh. Keep it up! Sometimes during the practice races he beat Elixir, and I know he can, just work on other sports with him as well for varying. Helio is a speedy dog, but he can't speed up fast enough. He usually does the Poodle trot before taking off and cannot manage to catch up fast enough to win. If he manages to get a good start, he can beat all of them, in fact during the practice races, he did. I would work more with him in training to come when called and just overall obedience. Elixir & Dane should take a small break simply because it's been two races in a row. All the dogz should work on other sports and just general obedience training to help you out.

Wow, she pulled another one off. Thanks Artemis ^.^ Elixir seems to have a knack for starting late, but pulling a win in the end. I'm glad she has some good competition though!!! And I'm very glad she's getting better about socializing ^.^ I'll definitely continue to work with her on that, as well as speeding up faster.
Thanks again for hosting these races!!!
