    No video, because I’ve misplaced my video camera. Really do need to find it for next time! There is an option to run both the Agility and Jumping twice, but the format didn’t work for me last time. All the dogs at the jump height ran, and then ran immediately again before the height changed.…

    I don’t post very often about me; my blog is about the dogs, and I try to keep the non-dog stuff away. However, sometimes it falls together. Last week was very tough for me. Lots of things have been piling up for a while, but I ended up in a depression kicked off by Daisy…

  • A Mini Break

    A mini break for Dylan, anyway. Since he’s retiring in a few months — just two shows left! — Dylan isn’t really training any more. He has all the skills he needs, and none of his behaviours are going to dramatically change over the next six weeks in time for Wilmslow. It does give me…

  • UKA Dig It July 2013 – Rio's debut!

    Baby dog is all grown up! Actually, she’s very much not, which is why I’m taking things so slowly. Rio is an absolute puppy still! I am very happy with how she did in her classes. She held her wait, she jumped well, she picked up obstacles and had lots of drive down the lines.…

    Really went to this show for Dylan to practise running on rubber surfaced contacts. Dig It have Contactacoat sprinkles on their equipment and it is actually looking wrecked right now. Dig It either need to re-cover or buy some new equipment, I don’t think they can keep calling it rubber surfaced if it’s got bald…

  • A Quiet May

    May is usually my extremely busy flyball month, so of course this year I forgot to get my act in gear and actually enter any agility shows. I’m taking Dylan to UKA Dig It this weekend, mainly to support some of our newbie competitors from training, but also to get Ri measured. Dylan is working…

  • UKA Dig It September

    I have to confess, I was not in the mood for this competition. It showed. Dylan and I lazed around all the courses, and won rosettes but only because the classes were tiny. I wasn’t really there to run my dog, I was there to support and coach some of our club newbies, who both…

    Well, we were supposed to be flyballing at Osmaston but with the rain came cancellation, and in time to make other plans. Emma and I had always been eyeing up the UKA show at Sandbach in Cheshire, but flyball got priority for the weekend. With the cancellation we all headed over to Dig It instead…
