  • Go Team!

    It seems whilst we had an average weekend, everyone else went off and won things! My biggest congratulations to Alice and her gorgeous Cocker/Springer Spaniel Sammy who won the NAWS Class B Medium/Small Championship. Sammy is not the easiest dog in the world, he’s very all-or-nothing, but he finished up this weekend by winning the…

    Well, I’ve never flyballed in the snow before. Barking Owlers came 2nd in their Division, although to be honest we really didn’t expect to. The Beardies came into season this week and had to drop out, so we were left with four competitive dogs, plus Chewy. On the day, we also lost one of our…

  • Carlton Towers Starters

    The boy did good … ish! Our lovely team the Little Owlers were in Division A, and we won two of six heats so not too shabby! We weren’t the fastest team in the world as we weren’t really bothering with changeovers, but all our dogs ran brilliantly Dylan handled the pressure fantastically, he took…

    Just two days to go until Dylan’s big flyball debut! It’s going to be really odd doing Starters again, Kim moved up to Sanctioned tournaments in 2005. Hopefully it will be a good experience for him. I’m confident that he knows what he’s doing and won’t be phased by the atmosphere, as he’s been going…

    Finally managed to get some decent video of Dylan weaving today! Took the jump and the weaves down to the park for 15 mins. Or for those of you who are able to view the videos via Windows Media Player (or equivalent), there’s a much more clean version here: http://www.undermybed.co.uk/images/dylanweaving001.wmv As always, Dylan is always…

  • A Mid-Life Crisis on Behalf of Kim

    I’m finally getting organised with all my show entries for the next couple of months. Shrewsbury entry went in a few weeks ago, and then this weekend I also sent in my EMDAC April and May entries, and my Waldridge Fell entry. The EMDAC July is almost ready to go, just debating on how long…

  • Flyball Training & Crufts

    —

    in , , , ,

    Had a great session with all the dogs this morning! We were working over 6 jumps at the full 14″ for Mollie & Dylan, 12″ for Kim as she has to be awkward and be one of only 2 dogs who measure at 13″, and I don’t like running her over 14″, so she mixed…

  • Dogs on Top, March 1st

    —

    in , , , ,

    Yesterday was definitely a day of extremes! I had six classes, four with Kim and two with Dylan. All the courses were reasonable – the Open Tunnel Vision was really tough and I’m so glad I didn’t enter Dyl! – but I thought all the others were either lovely or at least do-able. How wrong…

  • Trick Training – Crawl

    —

    in , ,

    Ruffdogs (http://www.ruffdogs.co.uk/) have a “Trick of the Month” where a challenge is set and everyone can give it a go and swap training advice etc. This month it’s “crawl”; getting the dogs to crawl on their bellies commando-style. Kim can do this independently but it’s not something I’ve worked on with Dylan before, so we’ve…

  • Dylan & Jet at Sunday Training

    in , , , ,

    Bit of a late update about Sunday! Dylan and Jet both worked really well. The course was the Combined 1-3 Tuffstuff Qualifier [eta: I stand corrected, it’s either the Small and/or Medium Combined 1-3 Agility] from Newton Heath, which we didn’t go to but some of the people in our class had. I’ve drawn it…
