  • Drax European Format

    I did not really find this format confusing or tiring like everyone else apparently did. It was fun! Much better for the dogs as well, they had long breaks between racing and could therefore race fresh. It was baking hot so that was appreciated all round, I think. Both our teams came out as bottom…

    We stuck with our original lineup for Dylan’s team and it worked well, we were running more consistent times but not nearly as fast as I would like. Chip and Dylan were running just over 10s as a pair pretty much all day, which I was pleased about as a consolation. They’re running over 14″,…

  • Rest

    No shows for me this weekend. Dylan did need adjusting, and two days of rest before five classes isn’t enough. I’m disappointed we can’t go, but we have five weekends in a row of flyball and agility coming up so missing one day will be better in the long run. He’s on full rest right…

  • Drax May Bank Holiday #1

    We did not have a very successful day at Drax. Mollie’s team chose to go NFC rather than withdraw after super height dog Bails got injured this week. Unfortunately this is a problem with a team consisting primarily of Veteran dogs; if any one of them gets injured, then the whole team struggles. Obviously with…

  • Joint Care Challenge Update

    Mollie has just started on Week 3 of her Joint Care Trial. She has one treat every day, usually at lunchtime. She does get other supplements, a squirt of Salmon Oil every few days and 2x Yumove on competition days. Mol really loves the treats! They smell quite strongly (I’m not a fan of the…

    Finally something other than rain! Rio’s puppy training day sadly got cancelled; the high winds and downpours made being around the equipment unsafe, and I’ll admit I didn’t much fancy going out when I saw the state of the weather on Sunday morning. Hopefully we can find another training day some time soon. Today we…

    Nothing but rain at the moment. I wanted to take the dogs out to Digley for a good walk today but I can’t face getting soaked yet again, so they’re having to make do with a chew instead. Despite the weather, flyball training was relatively mud-free! Dylan was excellent, I’ve been making an effort to…

    Mollie got her own special parcel in the post today. We got invited to join Pedigree’s Joint Care Trial, and considering there were freebies on offer for Mol and I, we signed up. Mollie’s rucksack contained 6 weeks worth of Joint Care treats, a ball launcher and balls, and a rather awesome Flip HD video…

    Very productive flyball training session today. Although we were working the dogs in each team together, we mainly worked on individual stuff. Dylan did some jump-box-6 jumps back. Which is exhausting for me but really gives him a workout! It also encourages him to chase me back; he has always come back off the box…
