    Started the weekend with a nice course for the Grade 3 Jumping, a little bit straightforward for my taste so I chose to take Dylan the long way around the pull thru, which gave me a chance to test his weave entry. He flicked out to it beautifully, nailed it, and then I steadied him…

    Dylan is a whole four years old today. We celebrated by going for a nice long walk, on which I failed to get any good photos of Dylan at all. Thankfully, there is this magical editing program, Photoshop. It’s amazing what can be salvaged! Most things can’t though. Imagine lots of blurred/overexposed/splashes of water where…

    Tough day for fatman Dylan today! Flyball training in the morning and then an agility training afternoon over in York. Ideally I would have skipped flyball, but we have Drax coming up and I really want him fit and ready. We’re making an effort to do more two lane training at the moment, and it’s…

    Had so much fun with this. I was after Mollie’s 52 Weeks shot, and I’d seen someone else try this idea with their dogs. Some dogs got the idea quicker than others … [singlepic id=86 w=320 h=240 float=center] [singlepic id=92 w=320 h=240 float=center] … others were under the mistaken impression that I would just drop…

    Imagine a sea of mud, stretching as far as the eye can see … Well, it started ok on Friday. A little cold, a little damp, but nice. The weekend didn’t start all that fortuitously when I ran the Combined 1-3 Jumping, Dyl popped the last 2 weave poles (setting a trend for the weekend…

    I’ve never been to the Drax venue before, for various reasons, so it was nice to get a visit in before we stay there in May. It’s tiny! But very flyball-y, everything squashes in nicely and there is a clubhouse with a proper bar and proper drinks and proper food, all the important things. I…

    We had a lovely walk around Digley Resevoir on Sunday, couldn’t believe it was March, I was walking in my t-shirt! [singlepic id=69 w=320 h=240 float=center] The dogs ambled (and sprinted, and swum!) their way around, they’ve been so many times they know the path just as well as me. This is another resevoir my…

    What a weird experience – no rain, no snow, no ice! Just a cool but bright day, and standing outside in the sun was lovely. Please can all the future Tailwaggers shows be like this? Power and Speed first, Dylan’s favourite class. The Jumping section was a little too Helter Skelter for me, and true…

    Tailwaggers #1 was all about the ice, Tailwaggers #2 was all about the snow. Bob suggested that #3 would be all about the flooding, but we remain optimistic for bright and cheerful sunshine all day. Primary Agility was a fairly straightforward course, but with a tempting little dogwalk/seesaw discrimination at the start. What I really…

    Let’s gloss over Dylan’s first run, except to say that if you are queuing, have your damn dog with you, especially if the queue is only three people long and you are two of those people. Congrats to Julie and Winnie for winning it though, go the Beardie/Lurchers! The Graded 1-3 Agility was a really…
