We love racing at tournaments but we also enjoy many other events we do with our team. One of our biggest demonstrations we participate in is the Escondido Humane Society’s “Paws in the Park“. Demos are a great way to educate the public about flyball but are also a great way for new dogs to get accustomed to a tournament-like environment.
Sometimes a few weeks before an event we are asked to make an appearance on TV. This helps to promote the occasion and generates enthusiasm among our team mates. Tuesday March 11th was one of these special days. We were asked by Katie Woolsey of the Escondido Humane Society to join her at Channel 6 on the “San Diego Living” show. At the station we ran an abbreviated one jump course with three different breeds of dogs being represented, giving the public just a taste of the fun of flyball.
We had such a great time as you can see from the pictures and video working with Laura Cavanaugh (Channel 6), Tiffany Frowiss (Channel 6) and Katie Woolsey (Escondido Humane Society), and of course our dogs.

SO FUN! Thanks!
BTW Here’s a very cool art exhibit, I am involved in, in July that raises funds for Rancho Coastal Humane Society. it will be at the Encinitas Library, so very convenient. Please forward the information to all our pet loving friends if you feel it is appropriate! There will also be pets there available for adoption! I am enclosing two posters one with the names of the artists and one without which is smaller.
Also, if you need more info, here’s some website addresses. When you get a chance, view the video with some of the work — it’s extraordinary — moved me to tears but then again I love our four footed friends! 🙂
