Bio: Skyler is a pure breed Australian Shepherd. She was born into a long line of fly ball and dog agility champions. Her mother and farther were often very busy training for competitions. Once she was 8 weeks old she was brought at a hefty price due to her bloodline by a very driven young man. From the age of 6 months she was in training to follow in her parents footsteps. But her life was far from the same as her parents as her master didn't compete for the fun and exercise, her master wanted to compete to win. This put a lot of pressure on Skyler not to fail and displease her master as that's all the sought out to do, to please him. She was very skilled with both fly ball and Agility, winning him loads of ribbons and trophies. Her master was determined to have the money he paid for her worked off by her. But there are the odd times when Skyler didn't win by a few milliseconds or she wasn't on form that day and would get penalty points for knocking over the bar to her hurdle or she would let the whole team down by failing to catch the ball for fly ball. Each time she failed, be it her fault or not, she was punished, she was yelled at, hit and tied to the kennel outside with no interaction with her master for days. As a results she would get no food, water, nothing. Normally these punishments lasted for around 3 days before he allowed her back inside. But it came at a price, each time she was about to step inside her master said "You wont fail me again" and with that came more hours of training and greater punishments for failure. Each time she willingly walked back in the house to be by his side again, just wanting to please him for the day to come where he'd actually be proud of her for her achievements and hard work. So she continued to try hard, but not without the doubt in her mind that that day would ever come.
