We did lots of dogwalk work at training this week! I had three things to work on in our classes; dogwalk, weaves, and long-jump. For our dogwalk training, I planned a similar set up to his very bad run at…

Lincoln 2013
Haven’t done this show in a while. Kim won out of G1 here back in 2007, and last time we competed there Dylan was G3. It’s still nice, such a lovely showground, and it was the EO qualifying weekend which…

Hare'n'Hounds Easter 2013
Coldest weekend ever. Possibly even colder than the Cold Easter of ’10, and that was also really damn cold. I could have entered 7 runs per day, but I chose to limit myself to 5. I am not fit enough…

Snow and More Snow
SNOW! Thankfully this was a quiet weekend; I didn’t enter Wyre Champ at Myerscough as I thought doing 5 days of agility in the space of a week was a bit much after 3 months off. Not sure we would…
