    Kim wears wraps on her hind legs for flyball. This is illustrated by the the photo on the right, although she was wearing borrowed wraps at Sutton Fields (cheers Katie!). The photo is also an awesome example of Kim’s box turn, which is irrelevant but cool. She wears wraps because she has a tendency to…

  • Flyball Training & the Camera Saga continues

    The camera thing is getting ridiculous. My mum has been the one interacting with Curry’s because she bought the camera originally (it was a gift). When she took the camera in, I gave her the camera in the original box with all the components — USB cable, charger, instruction booklet, warrenty, etc etc — because…

  • Doncaster Flyball (Indoor)

    Well, talk about a busy day … we had 4 teams in at Doncaster. I was scribing for our first team in Div 1, Kim was running in the second team in Div 2 and Dylan and Mollie were in the third team in Div 3, and we were ring party in Div 4. Kim…

  • Sutton Fields Flyball

    Mollie and Dylan ran on Saturday with the Night Owlers in Division 8. We’ve got quite a nice little Nights team shaping up there! We ran 20.98, won our division and Dylan got his 200 points, I’m so pleased! He ran in nearly every leg and was a little pro. Some of his turns in…

    Home Farm was the flyball that never was. We got a call about 5 minutes before we loaded the dogs up to set off, saying it had been cancelled due to unexpected heavy rain overnight. We weren’t the only people in the same situation; I know a lot of other agility shows and flyball comps…

  • Flyball Training: Boxwork

    —

    in ,

    Towards the end of last week I thought I should really work on reminding Dylan about his box turn, especially because he hadn’t flyballed for some time. It also occurs to me that I’ve talked about wanting Dylan to have a swimmer’s turn quite a lot on this blog, on the possibly wrong presumption that…

  • New Layout

    New layout! Hopefully this explains why the site was down all day Monday. I loved my green layout but I wanted to try a different colour and some new techniques for the pages. I know it doesn’t quite work in Internet Explorer, I’m still working on it, but as IE tends to render code totally…

  • Weekend

    Oops, nearly a week since the last update! I guess I just don’t have much to discuss at the moment, and it’s nice to have a weekend free of competition! The dogs all ran well at flyball training on Wednesday and Saturday. Dylan has been working his socks off for me. He’s scheduled to make…

  • Home Farm Flyball

    Alpha Dogz ran a fab tournament this weekend at Home Farm. Five divisions in 1 ring and they were still finished with presentations at 6:30! So organised and the rosettes were lovely, and they did special keyrings for the dogs in Starters which were fantastic. Dylan was so naughty in his Starters team, I could…

  • Flyball Harness Review

    —

    in ,

    Our dogs always wear harnesses for flyball, and we’ve gone through a variety of styles before finding ones that suit both us and the dogs! This isn’t so much of a review as a explanation of how and why we chose the different harnesses for our different dogs, and what the advantages and disadvantages are…
