I do not believe in the law of averages. It isn't a thing. Duncan disagrees. Therefore, our wonderful day yesterday was followed by an awful day today.

He wouldn't get the ball off the box. The trigger noise scared the crap out of him. He was barky and a little crazy, more interested in every thing else in the world. It was horrible. I tried to remain positive, but it was so, so hard.

That's the bad. The good is that my dog loves me, so his recalls are awesome. AND he beelined over the jumps without gates up. We did put up chairs on the last jump, but that was expected.

I am seriously wondering whether or not he will be ready for the tournament in October, but I must let him progress at his own pace. I've also got to find a way to make this more exciting and rewarding for him.

Sigh.
