    Jumping Thoughts

    [singlepic id=342 w=320 h=240 float=left]Rewatching Dylan’s youtube videos. There aren’t very many and they aren’t his best runs, but he looks so much smoother, so much faster. His video from Lune Valley is the last one I uploaded, 18 months…

    Hare'n'Hounds Xmas 2011

    Dylan had a complete meltdown in the first run, he didn’t start off very well but as we got to the seesaw he shut off entirely. I’ve never had that happen before and to be honest, I don’t know what…

    Hare'n'Hounds October Halloween

    Kim had a great run first thing in the Combined 1-7 Jumping, a course with just jumps (no tunnels/weaves), so it was a pure speed kind of course. She finished 7th, I think 4/5s off the winners but she was…

    Otley

    Running behind on this one. I’m always in two minds about this show, the show organisers are great and they always schedule good classes, but the venue is one of the worst I’ve been to. It’s really uneven and hilly,…

    Training x2

    Agility = good! Dyl’s seesaw is looking great after our confidence building sessions. I’ve lost the stop on the end but I don’t really care, Dylan isn’t brave enough to fly it and it’s faster. If we need it back…

    Long Summer

    Excellent flyball training this past weekend, all the dogs worked extremely hard. Dylan still isn’t comfortable running with Norah but she’s not in his team this weekend so I am hopeful that he’ll be relaxed and happy about being in…

    Weaves

    We had fun with weaves at training this week. He did so well on the Wicked Weaves course at the weekend, but there were no really difficult entries and I was able to stay with him the whole time, but…

    Dogs Unleashed

    Saturday was flyball day, as per usual for this weekend. We only had two teams in but both were 6-dog teams, which I hate, but as we had some dogs coming back from injury etc it was really the only…

    Sticky Summer

    Very humid at training this week. Always intended this week to be an “easy” week, confidence boosting for dogs and handlers. We did short, easy sequences (6-8 obstacles) on a one-shot basis (you get one go, and then on to…

    Hare'n'Hounds Easter 2011

    Theme for the weekend? 12 weaves, in every single class. The judges obviously got way too excited about being able to fit 12 weaves in a course again and used them all the time. I love me some weaves but…
