Jet
Where we are now
I should have known that trying to lay any kind of plans for the next 6 months would end in disaster! It appears that Dylan has come down with Kennel Cough** which means we won’t be competing again until after…
Hare'n'Hounds Halloween
I love that Hare’n’Hounds are theming all their winter shows, it’s fun and cute and apparently traumatising for Jet, but it’s such a nice touch for already awesome shows. Jet had a very tough course for first thing in the…
Mid Week Philosophies
Feels like it’s been a slow week. Training went well on Tuesday, and I continued to try and make a bigger point of properly rewarding Dylan. This is such a basic thing, but because Dylan is always happy to continue…
Full Circle
After last week’s bad training session, we had a great time this week. We had a fun set up for courses that involved a tight boxwork section, which then opened out into a huge loop of weaves-tunnel-jump-long jump. Made for…
EMDAC Midsummer Madness
Hmm, where do I start?! Thursday. Thursday … happened. EMDAC always run the Thursday classes in the evening, usually starting around 5pm and finishing around 8:30-9. It’s usually fantastic, running on cool summer evenings and under the floodlights. It started…

Waldridge Fell (Holmside)
This is such a long drive. Thankfully it’s worth it, because I love the proper Northern shows. Everyone is so friendly! I had a borrowed dog for this show in Katie’s Jet. Jet is a complete maniac and I haven’t…
Freezing Something Off
I was stood in a field at 9:10am this morning, setting up flyball jumps and holding a tape measure on the snow covered ground. The weak winter sun was just coming up over the bare frozen trees, and all the…
