    Not much to say today, so I’ve also included the photo of Mollie doing her over-the-horizon look. As with all the photos on the blog, click for a bigger version. Dylan has been doing his bits of boxwork, it’s going reasonably well. We work for about 10 minutes a day, and then of course Kim…

    We had a pretty good session this morning, and the weather was fantastic for once! None of our dogs have flyballed since Sheffield, and Dylan hasn’t done anything since Dec 29th. Unfortunately it really showed today, for our first session all his boxwork just went completely out of the window. He did one nice turn…

    I love Sheffield tournaments. The Speeders are a great bunch of flyballers and they always run a good competition, with lovely rosettes and fast results. The venue is great, just a shame about the location. Three cars were broken into in the morning just after we arrived, including one of our ‘Owlers cars, which was…

    I know, it’s only December and the New Year is a whole three weeks away, but I’ve finished competing and training for the year so I thought it was an appropriate time to look back over the doggy year. Kim has had an amazing year in agility. We won out of Introductory (BAA) and Grade…

    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…

    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” ……

    Our first time at the famous indoor-turf Doncaster tournaments, and we had a fantastic day. Mollie’s team, Night Owlers, ran their socks off and finished a very respectable 3rd in Division 5, setting a new seed time in the process. I was supposed to be boxloading for this team but in the end I boxloaded…

    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…

    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…

    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…
