    The poor hounds are feeling very underworked this week, as we missed flyball training on Wednesday and can’t make it on Saturday either. We’re currently doing a lot of stamina work and plan to do it all through the winter, since it’s something a lot of the dogs have been lacking over the summer. Most…

    Kim and Mollie were competing in the BFA Summer Championships this weekend, and their team, Barking Owlers, won Division 8 with a time of 19.82! Due to the seeding we ended up racing against the teams we usually see at tournaments rather than those from further afield, but we had some great racing anyway against…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    June: June was an amazing month for Kim. We’ve never been got a top-3 placing before and then suddenly she went and got 6! Her total haul of trophies and rosettes was fantastic, and eventually totalled 1x1st, 1x2nd, 4x3rd, and all her other clear runs got her a top-10 placing. (We did a total of…

    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 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,…

    Returned from Crufts a week ago, and many changes since! We haven’t been happy at Springers for a long while now. We are now training with Leeds Owlers in flyball, and are currently seeking a new agility club. I’ve written a full Crufts Report with loads of photos and video links for those interested. Enjoy!
