Agility
A Mid-Life Crisis on Behalf of Kim
I’m finally getting organised with all my show entries for the next couple of months. Shrewsbury entry went in a few weeks ago, and then this weekend I also sent in my EMDAC April and May entries, and my Waldridge…
Dogs on Top, March 1st
Yesterday was definitely a day of extremes! I had six classes, four with Kim and two with Dylan. All the courses were reasonable – the Open Tunnel Vision was really tough and I’m so glad I didn’t enter Dyl! –…
Dylan & Jet at Sunday Training
Bit of a late update about Sunday! Dylan and Jet both worked really well. The course was the Combined 1-3 Tuffstuff Qualifier [eta: I stand corrected, it’s either the Small and/or Medium Combined 1-3 Agility] from Newton Heath, which we…
The 4-6 Sequence
On reading the Obay Shelties blog I went and had a quick play with Kim outside on the 4-6 sequence, originally from the US World Team Tryout Course (2006). Now, we don’t have an Aframe, but I was aiming for…
Top 3 Shows
I’m just sending in a bunch of entries for the shows at the beginning of the summer season, and I’m keeping a sharp eye out for certain schedules. I haven’t been competing regularly or for long enough to have shows…

Training at the Park
Dylan and I are finally clicking! We had such a good training session today, even with minimal equipment! I managed to take 1 jump and 6 weaves to the park, and the boy was flying. He’s got crazy-fast weaves, and…
Dogs On Top
First show of the month! Katie was supposed to be coming with her hounds too but a couple of inches of snow and she bailed out. I have to admit at some points in the day I wish I’d stayed…
Dylan's Blog: Sunday Training
Sunday was a mixed bag at training. I didn’t take Kim with me because I figured she needed a week off, we had a pretty hectic January. So just me and the tall boy! We started off really well, working…
EMDAC January
Dylan’s first show! I’m very proud of him, he did far better than I expected him to. We were E’d in Power & Speed because they threw 12 weaves in and as Dylan has never done 12 upright weaves, I…
