    Summer days. Love the Champs. I don’t care that they’re not whichever competition you* think is better. I appreciate these Championships for what they are, which is a fun, competitive, and noisy tournament full with teams from every corner of the British Isles. Also, nowhere else would you get 200 people willingly dressing up in…

    Dylan and Mollie, Div 26 Winners Originally uploaded by kayanem Right now I’m too tired to write out a proper post on the British Flyball Championships, so this will have to do. My collies are so cool.

    Lovely venue, lovely hosts. Would go again, two thumbs up. Dylan and Mollie both ran in the second team. Dyl has been dropped down to this team for several reasons, mainly because we have several injured or recovering-from-injury dogs who we have had to pull completely, or put into teams where they can be pulled…

    We worked very hard with Dylan at training this week. He is getting more confident changing into Roi, but he’s not foot perfect. Neither am I; it’s very hard to work on perfecting the change when Dylan sometimes “flinches” (throws in an extra short stride just before the line). I’m between 1-3ft off on my…

    frisbee7 Originally uploaded by kayanem Lots of frisbee recently, it’s taken over as the exercise toy. None of my dogs can actually catch it though. I can’t really throw it though either, so it all works out. Two walks today, once to play frisbee on the playing fields, the second to just walk around Blackmoorfoot.…

    Good weekend, close racing and Notts were excellent hosts. Shame the venue wasn’t as wonderful as everyone else seemed to think (we camp in a tent, flat clean ground is important). Dylan’s team broke their seed time and won their division, which was great. We also managed to get splits on the dogs for all…

    Agility = good! Dyl’s seesaw is looking great after our confidence building sessions. I’ve lost the stop on the end but I don’t really care, Dylan isn’t brave enough to fly it and it’s faster. If we need it back later we can work on it, I’m sure. I also worked on 180 pull-thrus, because…

    I’m not sure how to blog about this tournament – I have lots of fragmented memories and no clear thoughts! I didn’t wear shoes all weekend, it was really hot, my dogs were great. That’s about all I can coherantly put together. Mollie ran well, but we tried to keep her doing as little as…

    This is the first time we’ve walked Langsett. We’ll be back again, I now understand why it’s so popular! We walked the three mile route as we didn’t know the area at all and didn’t want to get lost. The map in the car park said it would take 2hrs and we were a little…
