    Dylan went to Wakefield this weekend on his own, which was a very enlightening experience! He definitely doesn’t get as worked up when he’s training on his own, but he still finds the whole thing quite exciting. It was definitely an afternoon of ups and downs – the weaves and the seesaw went brilliantly, but…

    I know the general feedback I got on Dylan’s Blog was to keep it seperate from the main blog, but I really don’t like the format of the blog I was using and I’m just fed up of it being tempremental on me. So from now on, Dylan’s Blog will be part of the main…

  • Dylan – More Training

    As the weather has finally cheered up, I’ve been able to do a bit more training out and about with Dylan. I can carry a couple of jumps across the road into the woods, which isn’t perfect but it has lots of distractions and the ground is nice, so it’s good for training. Unfortunately there…

    We had a lovely, long 4 days at EMDAC last week, and Kim was a superstar and won another agility class and got a handful of placings in some others, I was thrilled to bits! She’s now top of the Agility League, the Jumping League and the Intro Medium DOTY League. She also managed to…

    I’ve been really working with Dylan and his target training at the moment. We spend a couple of 10 minutes sessions a day working on his target with a variety of distractions. (I did lose his clicker yesterday which is going to make training today difficult, I’ll have to have a look around when I’ve…

    Puppy has been having a busy few weeks! He spent the first weekend in May in kennels with Mollie, due to a whole crop of unforseen circumstances. Kim and I were competing (badly!) at Shrewsbury and the rest of the family were in Blackpool or Doncaster, and in the end, we decided it was better…

    Dylan had an introduction to some proper agility equipment this week when the opportunity came up to go training at a friend’s house. She has a full-sized dog walk, amongst other things, so I let Dylan walk over it a few times and he was a confident little thing! No problems at all, although I…

    The weather has cooled down a bit so Dylan and I have been topping up on our training outdoors. We’ve cracked target training — he runs to the target and downs on it whilst touching it with his nose, which is exactly what I was looking for! After a long discussion with various people (part…

    Dylan and I had a lovely 20 minutes playing on the agility equipment last weekend – just a jump, a tyre and the single bottom part of the stretch. He’s so much more responsive than Kim is/was already, although he still gets a bit distracted! Especially since his gorgeous girlfriend Jet was there, supposedly practising…

    Dylan’s first snow! And we’ve had a lot more of it that expected. Not quite as bad as Wales or the Southern counties, but still a couple of inches more than we were predicted to have. Anyway, Dylan has had a fantastic time playing with the girls and generally being loopy, and he also thought…
