    I have really unimaginative post titles at the moment. It’s hard to come up with stuff like that! Patience on rebuilding seesaw confidence has paid off, we had no run-bys this week and it was actually a faster seesaw than before (albeit without a stop, but I’m not worried about that). Didn’t push and do…

    Suddenly become very warm, with long light evenings. We’ve started going back up to Digley for longer walks, it’s lovely. Feels very much like summer, which means I feel like we should be at agility. For all the issues Dylan and I are suddenly having I can’t wait to get back to competitions. It’s a…

    Clouds Originally uploaded by kayanem It’s been a lovely, lazy bank holiday. The dogs are chilling, lazing in the spots of sun that are drifting past. Dylan had his back done again on Saturday by Kath, I had a feeling his shoulders weren’t right and they weren’t. I’ve spoken a little bit about Dyl’s conformation…

    I love Redcar, even when it’s blowing a gale. Best venue ever. Dylan and I had a terrible half-week though. The best way I can think of to describe his first few runs is out-of-focus … he was clear, or had 5f, but without any speed or drive or focus to speak of. Nothing I…

    The girls’ team wasn’t quite on form, it still feels like a very new lineup and we aren’t all on the same page a lot of the time. Kim was much better this week, lots of comments on her improvement. Many thanks to Kath for that! Dylan’s team was … weird. We had a 4-dog…

    Gentle introduction back to Wednesday night flyball training this week, Kim did five minutes of teacher-dog work with the starters and then Dylan did five minutes of boxwork. He is getting better and he is trying very hard, and hopefully if we can secure an upright/flat fronted box in the next few months we can…

    New tournament, and I think we all really wanted this weekend off, especially as we had scratch teams and bottom seedings. Turned out to be a beautiful venue and it was actually a really lovely weekend’s racing. I also got to see Extreme Racers get the new British Record – down to 16.42 – and…

    Didn’t enjoy this tournament – the weather was good and the Rotherham hosts were as wonderful as ever, but I couldn’t get my head in the game. The most fun we had was sitting and chatting as a team, racing never really seemed to happen. The girls ran well but not brilliantly, but that’s about…

    Somebody (think it was Julie) said this weekend that Dylan just can’t let go, and that’s exactly it. He is so much better now than even 12 months ago, but even when he’s at his most relaxed and most confident, he’s still not giving 100%. If Dylan was a person, he’d be an accountant. He’d…
