Day 028 - The Bench

Yep, sticky tape onto his cast

Agility - Jedi is now weaving 6 poles with independent entries, his contacts are straighter and we've been doing some distance work. Ahsoka is almost weaving 4 poles, but I haven't really pushed the issue! It's a lower priority for her. Obedience - I didn't even get around to scentwork with Jedi (AGAIN!), but we've been working on down stays and DOR. For Soaks, she is getting there with her heelwork and is developing a nice SFE and stays. I really don't feel like we've accomplished much in all that time though! :D

Glad to hear Daisy is home :D

That's cute!

Day 025

I think it all started with my first dog, Toby (a beagle!)... I was 12 and I took him to Obedience classes. I absolutely LOVED it but it never really went any further than going up a few grades. I also remember fashioning jumps out of wood to do some agility with in the backyard... But then I became a teenager and kinda forgot about all of that. Fast forward to 3 years ago -- I was in a position to get a dog and decided on a Keeshond. I had read that they were pretty intelligent and decided I wanted to trial in Obedience with him. Once he arrived, he exceeded my expectations with his training and I knew that we would achieve our goal so then I started to think about expanding our repertoire and started agility training with him. We also do Flyball, which I had sworn I would never do, but was addicted after one training session. So I think Jedi was the turning point for me. I think I can safely say that dog sports rule my life (outside of work/uni)... But I wouldn't have it any other way! There is rarely a weekend that goes by without a trial of some sort (and if it's not a trial, it's a dog show)!

Thanks! I think that was about my 10th shot. I only took about 15 - I was getting too sweaty from all the running back and forth to the camera and of course all the jumping! ;) Mmm only Jedi jumps on cue! That would make things interesting! Maybe I'll try and do one with him later in the year!

I just set the timer and jumped at the right time... Took about 5 goes to get the timing right. The focus point was the toughest though coz I still haven't got my remote working yet, so kinda had to guess. It's not perfect, but oh well. YAY WA!! Some really lovely photos everyone!

That's where I get all my Ruffwear stuff from. I would highly recommend the Ruffwear Float Coats as well.

Thanks!!!!!!

Day 024 - I PASSED!!!! (so relieved right now!)

Depends on the judge. Lots of judges will only let you use a coat if the dog wears it the whole time. Others don't mind if you take it off for stays, or vice versa. So you need to speak with the judge before you go into the ring. I usually speak to them before judging has started.

I started training again after a little while off... Jedi is doing really nicely integrating his weavers into some basic sequences... It was nice having a little bit more room than at home!
