  • Rally Trials

    The girls and I crashed and burned at our Rally trial. I feel like I ought to say that the trial itself was awesome, really well organised and friendly people. The venue was good, but the ring was in a self-contained hall and that freaked a lot of dogs out, including mine. That was not…

  • Unexpected Weekends

    Dylan and I were supposed to spend this weekend at Ribble, getting back into our competitive groove and admiring all the excellent partnerships who had travelled north (and south) for the G6-7 Olympia Qualifier. However, Dyl came up very lame on Friday morning. Friday was a Day of Rest, but Rest did not help. Dyl…

  • Quiet

    Rio is still being unnaturally quiet. She was very flat at agility training and then very distracted at rally this week. Agility was just a bit odd, she tecnically worked very well, did all the sequences etc, but just seemed extra sensitive and flat. It’s weird working her when she’s being quiet, I’m so used…

    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 room for 12weaves at home. Thus far, I’m pleased with how effective the 2×2 method…

  • Mollie + Rally

    I sort of forgot to post and say that in a moment of madness, I started taking Mollie to Rally classes. My original plan was to take Rio, but I’m still waiting for her to come into season (as well as now worrying in case she had a silent heat or something to confuse me)…

    My last post apparently ruffled a lot of feathers, which is sort of funny really, since most of the offended parties weren’t the people I was thinking of when writing. Strange how that happens, isn’t it? None of the offended people spoke to me directly either in response. I stand by what I said however.…

    Waiting on Rio to go into season at the moment. I sometimes can’t remember why I’m bothering to go through this! I’d really like her to come in any day around now, really … Ri is running super at agility, we are starting to string together our foundation work into longer sequences now. She ran…
