Training
Frustrated
Training was … “interesting” this week. Dylan was totally over the top, completely overexcited and silly. Broke all his waits, pushing all his contacts, just pushing in general on everything that was asked. It sounds really odd when I try…
Aframe/Team Trios (2009)
After all the long discussions with various people on how to improve Dylan’s creepy Aframe contact, it seems that we’ve finally made some progress. As I said before, he’s had a break from working on the Aframe and so we…
BAA Promotion & Agility Training

We have some new toys! Ex-sports equipment is a lot of fun for me and the hounds. Both are foam-padded with a tough outer, and have been acquistioned from the old storeroom. They weren’t being used to their full potential!…
One Step Forward …
Creepy contacts are still an issue. I’m not sure whether to keep pushing or to leave it now. In reality, Dylan’s Aframe is not that bad, he is nailing the 2o2o no matter where I am or what I’m doing.…
