    Dylan and Mollie, Div 26 Winners Originally uploaded by kayanem Right now I’m too tired to write out a proper post on the British Flyball Championships, so this will have to do. My collies are so cool.

    Bath Shots Originally uploaded by kayanem Actually put in some effort today and bathed, brushed and trimmed Dylan. We had one huge strop over nail clipping only. Result! We also practised freestacking for our before and after shots. Slight improvement on the after shot, his front is positioned properly but his rear is too far…

    Lovely venue, lovely hosts. Would go again, two thumbs up. Dylan and Mollie both ran in the second team. Dyl has been dropped down to this team for several reasons, mainly because we have several injured or recovering-from-injury dogs who we have had to pull completely, or put into teams where they can be pulled…

    Dylan Originally uploaded by kayanem Kim first, because she’s special. She was awesome this weekend, she enjoyed every run, even if what she was enjoying was arguing with me. She was silly and noisy and flirted with all the boy dogs, especially Gilbert. Unfortunately we were just outclassed. We ran some great clears but there…

    We worked very hard with Dylan at training this week. He is getting more confident changing into Roi, but he’s not foot perfect. Neither am I; it’s very hard to work on perfecting the change when Dylan sometimes “flinches” (throws in an extra short stride just before the line). I’m between 1-3ft off on my…

    frisbee7 Originally uploaded by kayanem Lots of frisbee recently, it’s taken over as the exercise toy. None of my dogs can actually catch it though. I can’t really throw it though either, so it all works out. Two walks today, once to play frisbee on the playing fields, the second to just walk around Blackmoorfoot.…

    Good weekend, close racing and Notts were excellent hosts. Shame the venue wasn’t as wonderful as everyone else seemed to think (we camp in a tent, flat clean ground is important). Dylan’s team broke their seed time and won their division, which was great. We also managed to get splits on the dogs for all…

    Running behind on this one. I’m always in two minds about this show, the show organisers are great and they always schedule good classes, but the venue is one of the worst I’ve been to. It’s really uneven and hilly, and if it rains (and of course, it rained) it gets very muddy and awful.…

    Agility = good! Dyl’s seesaw is looking great after our confidence building sessions. I’ve lost the stop on the end but I don’t really care, Dylan isn’t brave enough to fly it and it’s faster. If we need it back later we can work on it, I’m sure. I also worked on 180 pull-thrus, because…

    I’m not sure how to blog about this tournament – I have lots of fragmented memories and no clear thoughts! I didn’t wear shoes all weekend, it was really hot, my dogs were great. That’s about all I can coherantly put together. Mollie ran well, but we tried to keep her doing as little as…
