Weaving Video
Finally managed to get some decent video of Dylan weaving today! Took the jump and the weaves down to the park for 15 mins. Or for those of you who are able to view the videos via Windows Media Player…
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…
Flyball Training & Crufts
Had a great session with all the dogs this morning! We were working over 6 jumps at the full 14″ for Mollie & Dylan, 12″ for Kim as she has to be awkward and be one of only 2 dogs…
Dogs on Top, March 1st

We had a pretty good session this morning, and the weather was fantastic for once! None of our dogs have flyballed since Sheffield, and Dylan hasn’t done anything since Dec 29th. Unfortunately it really showed today, for our first session…
Dylan's Blog – Weaves, again
Finally got a day suitable for practising on the weaves, and the boy did good! He definitely seems to understand weaving, and if anything he’s a little overenthusiastic! The only problems I’ve encountered are when I leave him in a…
