Pontefract Flyball
The girls’ team wasn’t quite on form, it still feels like a very new lineup and we aren’t all on the same page a lot of the time. Kim was much better this week, lots of comments on her improvement. Many thanks to Kath for that! Dylan’s team was … weird. We had a 4-dog…

Midweek
Gentle introduction back to Wednesday night flyball training this week, Kim did five minutes of teacher-dog work with the starters and then Dylan did five minutes of boxwork. He is getting better and he is trying very hard, and hopefully if we can secure an upright/flat fronted box in the next few months we can…

May Swallownest
New tournament, and I think we all really wanted this weekend off, especially as we had scratch teams and bottom seedings. Turned out to be a beautiful venue and it was actually a really lovely weekend’s racing. I also got to see Extreme Racers get the new British Record – down to 16.42 – and…

May Drax
Didn’t enjoy this tournament – the weather was good and the Rotherham hosts were as wonderful as ever, but I couldn’t get my head in the game. The most fun we had was sitting and chatting as a team, racing never really seemed to happen. The girls ran well but not brilliantly, but that’s about…

HnH Easter Thoughts
Somebody (think it was Julie) said this weekend that Dylan just can’t let go, and that’s exactly it. He is so much better now than even 12 months ago, but even when he’s at his most relaxed and most confident, he’s still not giving 100%. If Dylan was a person, he’d be an accountant. He’d…

Hare'n'Hounds Easter 2011
Theme for the weekend? 12 weaves, in every single class. The judges obviously got way too excited about being able to fit 12 weaves in a course again and used them all the time. I love me some weaves but sometimes it’s nice to do a class that doesn’t involved 12 of them. There are…

Sunny Day Training
Photos from our Saturday training session. I only had 10mins to sit down and take some photos, so not very many and not a wide variety. I actually don’t mind being busy at flyball, it’s more productive when we are constantly working, the dogs and handlers get more from it and I walk away happier.…

HnH April Fool – Go Jetset!
Superstar Jet gets first billing this time. She had a fantastic first run on a tricky Grade 3 course and nailed it, lovely fast weaves and just a really cracking run. She won by a nose, a 1st and so into Grade 4! She went clear in the Redmills Open Jumping, and finished up 18th.…
