  • Dylan's First Competition

    in ,

    Well, I might be completely mad but I’ve entered Dylan in his first proper agility competition today. I didn’t really want to be entering this early but it is the competition I’d always said I’d like to do as his first. EMDAC do a Winter Series of Limited shows, indoor and lovely, and unfortunately they’re…

    We had a lovely, long 4 days at EMDAC last week, and Kim was a superstar and won another agility class and got a handful of placings in some others, I was thrilled to bits! She’s now top of the Agility League, the Jumping League and the Intro Medium DOTY League. She also managed to…

    This isn’t really a training post but I couldn’t resist posting this pic. (Click for larger version). I can’t believe how much he’s grown from looking at these pics. His ears have changed to be all stuck-up, those naughty spots have appeared on his nose (!) and look at the stumpy little puppy-legs he had!…

    I’ve been really working with Dylan and his target training at the moment. We spend a couple of 10 minutes sessions a day working on his target with a variety of distractions. (I did lose his clicker yesterday which is going to make training today difficult, I’ll have to have a look around when I’ve…

    Puppy has been having a busy few weeks! He spent the first weekend in May in kennels with Mollie, due to a whole crop of unforseen circumstances. Kim and I were competing (badly!) at Shrewsbury and the rest of the family were in Blackpool or Doncaster, and in the end, we decided it was better…

    Dylan had an introduction to some proper agility equipment this week when the opportunity came up to go training at a friend’s house. She has a full-sized dog walk, amongst other things, so I let Dylan walk over it a few times and he was a confident little thing! No problems at all, although I…

    The weather has cooled down a bit so Dylan and I have been topping up on our training outdoors. We’ve cracked target training — he runs to the target and downs on it whilst touching it with his nose, which is exactly what I was looking for! After a long discussion with various people (part…

    It’s been a hot couple of days! I got the shell out for the dogs to chill in, because both the girls love to lounge in it when they’ve been out for a long hot walk. This is the first year that Dylan has really been old enough to play in it, and didn’t he…

    Dylan had a great time this weekend at Selby Game Fair, where the girls were flyballing with their new teams. It’s a huge fair, and had lots of new experiences for the boy. He behaved beautifully for the most part, and wasn’t at all fazed by the helicopter landing and taking off, or the gunshots,…

    Not many updates this month – I was busy with Crufts and Kim, obviously for the first part of the month, and then we have been moving clubs over these past few weeks. We’re now training with Leeds Owlers for flyball, and are in the process of looking for a new agility club for Kim.…
