  • Dylan's See Saw

    Dylan went to Wakefield this weekend on his own, which was a very enlightening experience! He definitely doesn’t get as worked up when he’s training on his own, but he still finds the whole thing quite exciting. It was definitely an afternoon of ups and downs – the weaves and the seesaw went brilliantly, but…

  • Friday

    Friday is my day off from university, so I was able to fit some training in with Kim and Dylan. Actually, there are two things wrong with that sentence! I am supposed to use Fridays for catching up with reading and prep-work, so it’s not really a day off, and when I say “training” ……

  • Agility Training

    It’s been a frustrating couple of days with Dylan. I’ve been really happy with his contact work until now; he has been extremely good with the 2o/2o on the dogwalk, and his 4off for the Aframe has been working really well. I have to admit I had slacked off on practising the 4off touch-target behaviour,…

  • Selby College Flyball

    I haven’t had many flyball updates on the blog yet, we had a bit of a break through September. Kim and Mollie were both running in the ‘Owlers second team, drawn as bottom seed in Division 2. I generally don’t mind being bottom seed, especially if the Divisions are well seeded, because I think racing…

  • This Week On …

    Dylan has been working really well at the moment, he’s suddenly got very confident with his jumping and is working the obstacles nicely! I’m really pleased because I mixed the jump heights up, putting a few up to full height, and he flew over them without even thinking about going underneath. Exactly what I’ve been…

  • Dylan's Blog

    I know the general feedback I got on Dylan’s Blog was to keep it seperate from the main blog, but I really don’t like the format of the blog I was using and I’m just fed up of it being tempremental on me. So from now on, Dylan’s Blog will be part of the main…

  • Dylan's Blog – Flyball

    Dylan had another great flyballing session last night! Click here to download a very short clip of Dylan learning to Flyball. This is only his third flyballing session so I’m really pleased with him. He’s running back as fast as he’s running up, and that’s without any momentum coming off the box (as we aren’t…

  • Flyball

    Kim injured herself earlier this week and went lame, with just 5 days to go until the Flyball Summer Championships. Luckily it wasn’t serious, just a strain in her shoulder, and she’s been on lead-walks and rest since it happened. Unfortunately it did mean she had to miss training last night, (which didn’t go down…

  • BAA Finals and the Website

    I have finally got around to upgrading my account at streamline, and therefore have also started up a blog on the main website. I will still have my account at LiveJournal (http://moderately-lea.livejournal.com) but it makes as much sense to have a blog here. I’m going to try and keep this blog related to the site…

  • Dylan – More Training

    As the weather has finally cheered up, I’ve been able to do a bit more training out and about with Dylan. I can carry a couple of jumps across the road into the woods, which isn’t perfect but it has lots of distractions and the ground is nice, so it’s good for training. Unfortunately there…
