Then there is the second dog gets a small ball and the third dog get a squashy ball. You get the hang of it after a few races and then the lineup changes. I actually like boxloading - when I don’t mess up! Yea or you get people in the run back giving you arm signals as if you are on an aircraft carrier deck.

After a couple of races, if they haven't changed the lineup very much, I usually start to know the dogs.

I ideally like to have the next ball loading as the dog goes over the first jump on thier run back. That way I can keep an eye on the pass and the judge. I do have to say I LOVE a judge that makes eye contact with me before the heat starts. I also LOVE a judge that is "big" with thier re-run indications. How do other boxloaders know which dog gets which ball? I've found that it's just easiest to memorize the dog's ball set-up and the race line up for a tournament. But our team also has a cheat sheet on the box for folks that need it. awesome, Larry. I ideally like to have the next ball loading as the dog goes over the first jump on thier run back.

One time I just had to toss a ball to the dog because he wouldn’t leave without it.
