May DragonDogs Review
At the heart of May was the Freedom Weekend USDDN Qualifier in Greenville South Carolina. We wanted to go to 1. Qualify Kai for Toss and Fetch and 2. Meet Tracy Custer. and maybe that we needed a vacation from a very busy start to 2010 for WebManna. What I came back with from the long memorial weekend trip was much different than I expected. I learned so much that only some of it will I explain and the rest will just get bullets.
Disc Dog Flow

They were linking some cool tricks together and it seemed pretty smooth. Except that there was a pretty frequent interrupt or hesitate or adjustment. Nothing wrong with that, but how easy would it be to tweak?
