    I only entered Dylan at this show, and I only entered it as a whole bunch of people said they were going and then they didn’t. I’m not bitter. It was a good chance to see if Dylan really was ok though, since Novice+ courses tend to have a few more straight lines of obstacles…

    This was 300x better than Hare’n’Hounds last week. Novice Plus Tunnel Troubles was a straightforward course, but I’d already decided to train Dylan’s run. We played tuggy a few times and he seemed to enjoy himself, his jumping was miles better than HnH but difficult to judge as it was a jump turn into tunnel…

    Back over at Tailwaggers this winter, they’ve done unaffiliated and I don’t blame them as the BAA has completely gone off the rails with some truly ludicrous rule changes amongst other things. Shame as it had the potential to be a great organization, but I won’t be bothering with it anymore. Dylan and I were…

    Bit of a hit and miss day! I made some silly handling errors all day, my personal mental management was way off. I looked after the dogs and worked them around the courses, but I made some handling decisions that I really shouldn’t have. Dylan is always very forgiving and bailed me out a couple…

    I still can’t muster any enthusiasm with hindsight for this show. I didn’t like the 2-runs-at-each-course format any better than I did 4 years ago when I last did it, it was still really boring. I’m not convinced it really made me improve my handling; I ran both courses better the second time (who didn’t?!)…

    I would quite like to just skip over recounting the morning classes, but I think it’s probably a good idea for me to try and remember exactly what I did wrong. Jet’s Primary Power and Speed was an ok course, a little tricky on the Speed section for Primary but certainly not beyond anything Jet…

    Dylan officially has the all-clear, as of yesterday, and so I’m looking forward to Tailwaggers tomorrow! It looks like the Novice Plus classes are going to be quite competitive, they’re double the size of last years so I’m just hoping to get Dylan around the courses with the same enthusiasm he’s been showing lately. I’m…
