Feeling Bright
—
in DylanDylan went for a checkup with the chiro this week and yep, his pelvis was twisted (to the left). His muscle tone has stayed pretty balanced but we need to do some work with him turning to the right just to make sure. Interesting to note that he turns left on the box, so his…

Muddy Puppies
Hate this time of year, our flyball training field isn’t bad for draining but there is only so much time for water to go away! The mud is awful, lots of bathed dogs and very short sessions. Dylan hasn’t flyballed since the beginning of December, so we were a little out of practice. Got some…

Hare'n'Hounds Valentines 2012
No videos as I forgot the camera, oops. We ran on rubber contacts for the first time too; Dylan and Bailey couldn’t care less, it didn’t appear to make any difference to their contact performance. Also weirdly quiet to run on! I was surprised to see rubber contacts though, I didn’t remember seeing it on…

Tailwaggers February
This was 300x better than Hare’n’Hounds last week. Novice Plus Tunnel Troubles was a straightforward course, but I’d already decided to train Dylan’s run. We played tuggy a few times and he seemed to enjoy himself, his jumping was miles better than HnH but difficult to judge as it was a jump turn into tunnel…

Jumping Thoughts
[singlepic id=342 w=320 h=240 float=left]Rewatching Dylan’s youtube videos. There aren’t very many and they aren’t his best runs, but he looks so much smoother, so much faster. His video from Lune Valley is the last one I uploaded, 18 months ago, and the difference between then and now is just crazy. Even the runs I…

Hare'n'Hounds January 2012
My main goal for this show was to try and keep Dylan relaxed. Partially successful, he wasn’t stressed but his jumping was shocking (stutter striding, tucked jumping) and his contacts were lacking in confidence (although he did the seesaw without an issue, so apparently that has passed?!) Nice course first thing in the G5-7 Agility,…

20 Weeks
20 weeks?! How did that happen? Rio continues to be fun and chirpy and naughty and noisy. She’s about 16-17″ tall and 13.30kg. Her puppy fluff is slowly mutating into sleek adult fur, which basically means she has a darker stripe down her back about 4″ in width. She’s still not very comfortable with children…

17 Weeks
Nearly 18 weeks, really. Not so many tricks these past 2 weeks, mostly house manners and walk manners and visiting manners. I finally knuckled down and started working properly on REA, I’ve been a bit wary as I haven’t shaped it before and I was struggling to mark the right things. Thought about it without…
