  • Dylan's Blog: Sunday Training

    Sunday was a mixed bag at training. I didn’t take Kim with me because I figured she needed a week off, we had a pretty hectic January. So just me and the tall boy! We started off really well, working on the 12 channel weaves about 1″ apart, and on a basic flick-flack. Flick-flacks are…

  • EMDAC January

    Dylan’s first show! I’m very proud of him, he did far better than I expected him to. We were E’d in Power & Speed because they threw 12 weaves in and as Dylan has never done 12 upright weaves, I wasn’t expecting much! He did 8 happily but then was a bit confused, but his…

  • Dylan’s Blog: Weave Training (again!)

    Over Christmas Dylan finally clicked with the weaves, I’m so pleased! After the issues we had when I closed up the gap I was going to leave them spaced apart from a while longer, but one day it all just came together. He hasn’t quite decided whether or not to bounce or left/right step, and…

  • Doncaster Flyball Tournament & Wyre Agility

    Wyre I’m not sure I want to talk about Wyre! We had a nice day but for the first two runs I just didn’t get my head sorted. The courses were fair but erred on the easier side and we missed a weave entry on one (bit of a shock, we haven’t done that for…

  • A few updates & Dylan's Latest Blog Entry

    New layout for the website. Not sure if I like it yet, it’s a bit flowery for my tastes but I definitely got the purpleness I was after! It took a bit longer than I was expecting so Sad Puppy was up for a whole week, apologies! Also added the nifty Lightbox plugin which does…

  • Dylan's Blog

    You might remember I posted a couple of weeks ago about Dylan’s contacts mysteriously dissolving. I went back a step with him and he’s gone back to being 110%, even ignoring thrown toys and me dancing about all over the place in attempt to distract him. Even better, I’ve noticed a few times he’s adjusted…

  • Dylan's Blog: Agility Contacts

    I’ve been really pleased with Dylan’s 2on/2off dogwalk for the past few of weeks, he seems to have really clicked with what I want him to do and was working nicely into position. I had even been running on past him/slowing behind him/running wide whilst he ran into position, and he had been holding it…

  • 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…
