Flyball
Rocket Relay Seminar #3
Really inspiring weekend at the Rocket Relay seminar, yet again. Kelly and Aaron are great teachers and it’s been 18months since their last seminar in the UK, so there was a lot to be reminded of. I sort of wish…
Flyball Training
What’s this? Flyball? I still haven’t joined another team and I’m still not really intending to get back into the sport in the immediate future. But a flyball taster session at North K9 came up, and I do quite want…
Level Unlocked: Weaves
Rio can weave! Well, she can do four upright poles, and that counts in my book. We’ll work on taking her to a full set of 6 this week, and then progress will slow down again as I don’t have…
Drax October 2012, Dylan FD-Gold
Very tiring day at Drax, but it’s always a well run competition and even with three rings and a minor medical emergency that shut down one of the rings at the end of the day, we were still heading home…
Chutes
Although Dylan and Rio would beg to differ, we had a productive day! Chutes, plural. Because I had to buy enough wood for two to get enough wood for one, so it made sense. Just trying to sort out matting…
Training Daze
I am feeling very productive this week (with regards to dog training. Other things, not so much). Dylan did some light work at agility last Tuesday, but I was conscious that he might be carrying an injury, so we didn’t…
Sutton Fields Sept 2012
I love this tournament; my dogs and my team always seem to run well at Sutton Fields, and it’s always been my milestone tournament as well. Kim got her first sub-20 time in 2006, retired 2011, Dylan did his first…
British Flyball Championship 2012
I can’t believe it was a full week since we were sat outside at Arbury Hall, sorting out the last minute arrivals and putting up tents. It was a bit weird being there with just Mollie and Dylan; Rio was…
Training
Very happy with Dylan’s agility training this week. We still have runs in competition where I have no idea what he’s thinking or why he’s acting the way he does, but that is a general Dyl-me problem, not an agility-specific…
Larden Green 2012
This was such a fun tournament. I think everyone knows what an absolute Olympics fangirl I am, and I was gutted not to get tickets for our home games this year. Instead I’m glued to the television 24/7 watching all…
