    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…

    Busy Busy

    Seesaw work this week. Some improvement but I have a list of things still left to work on. I’ve also been working on introducing tighter turns, ala Silvia Trkman. We’ve done lots of work at home (and on walks, etc…

    Hare'n'Hounds Valentines

    I seem to remember saying back in November that I wouldn’t run three dogs again. Well, I did, and it was better – either because I was prepared for the chaos, or because everything just ran more smoothly! Kim ran…

    First Training of 2011

    I did not stick to my well-thought out resolutions. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that. I had some lovely courses to work on that were well adaptable for all the different levels of the…

    Hare'n'Hounds Xmas Show

    Ok, remind me never ever to try and run 3 dogs at one competition again! I have no idea how people do this on a regular basis, they must be completely bonkers. I don’t suppose it would be too bad…

    Training with a Plan

    I actually had a plan for training this week. I know that every trainer I admire advocates having a training plan in advance, and that going and messing around on the equipment doesn’t actually achieve anything. I know this, and…

    Lune Valley

    I’m cautiously optimistic about saying that Dylan really likes working indoors. His runs at Lune were all smooth, fast and – at the end – slightly bonkers. I’m happy to roll with this! I’m normally at South Durham this weekend,…

    Appreciation

    I left the dogs at home for a long weekend in London, and I didn’t miss them at all. I had a fab time doing touristy things and catching up with friends, and appreciated the time away from the dogs.…

    Northern Festival of Agility: Part One

    Most perfect agility holiday ever. Redcar is a fantastic venue; I’ve raved about it before, but it’s a huge rugby club/football club training ground, so perfectly flat mowed lawns, nice big exercise areas, and 400m away is the Stray, a…

    Jumping

    Dylan was really rocking his jumping this week, I was a very happy bunny! Lovely and smooth, confident, and extended. I don’t think his take off points are right so we do have to do more work on that. Only…
