We just went out in the rain and did some circle work, sending around object work, get out work, front cross work and then some startline proofing. I am buggered, dog has only just warmed up .

Will have to have a watch then won't I SnT . I think I got as far as the end of disc 1 LOL.

Just thought I'd post here and say having received mine they are certainly plenty big enough for lots of gear. In fact my gear hardly makes a dent in the available space and thats with 7 agility jumps in there at present. Still plenty of room for my obedience jumps as well .

Its interesting we spend more time running flatwork then we do on equipment but yep will certainly do some more with her. And in answer to Kavik no she doesn't tend to cut behind when doing circle work, but she can try and dictate the circle though (if that makes sense). Interesting about the loss of eye contact bit. Didn't even see that either. We do play games of me sending her around objects and either having her stay the same side around the outside of 2 objects or me crossing and having her run across the diagonal. She never ends up on the wrong side when we play that game.

Whatcha mean early Tiggy it was 7:45 which is the time I usually run my morning training session before I head into Uni . I think thats relatively late in the scheme of things LOL.

I have an agility training question - Kenz has started cutting behind me when we run (mostly into tunnels) but also behind me to take the occasional off course jump. I set her up this morning to do some flat recall work to a tug and she also managed to come to the wrong side once. Does anybody have any suggestions other than just not rewarding it and doing more flat work with her? I posted this in another thread but in this clip she does it twice - once into the tunnel and then once to take a jump on me - http://www.youtube.com/user/ness#p/a/u/0/o_O-l8V0Y7w.

Well done kallistar . Best of luck with the remaining 2 passes.

Wahoo bet you can't wait Ptolomy .

Great news to hear he is home cassie. Give him a hug from both Kenz and I.

Awww look at the mini BCs - maybe my next dog should be a bi-sheltie :D .

Congratulations ish .

First competition for Vic is scheduled for August Wizzle. Link to the Australia Dances with Dogs website - http://www.danceswithdogsaustralia.com/ <If you look under the SA stuff you will find my videos but there are plenty of other videos on that site from other competitions>

ValleyCBR yep my youngster has her DWDF.S title and half her HTM.S title. Not bad for a shy timid midget BC who had to travel interstate to get it since we are yet to run comps in SA. My older one has half a DWDF.S title which I hope to maybe get the opportunity to finish at some point. Barb (Tassie) who appeared on the ABC clip featured on the link is actually a member on here too . Sorry Tassie for dobbing you in . I would post links to my routines but they are fairly average and plenty of better ones out there :D :D .

Hey congrats on your open mock trial performance DSO. I caught bits of it and it looked very good :D.

Kenz just wanted me to add that she also sends special midget BC thoughts to Hudson Cassie.

Big hugs Cassie. Hope Hudson is ok and back home again soon.

She is definitely very different to running Ness :D . I am grateful Ness wasn't quite as fast I could only imagine learning the game with a fast dog .

Tiggy and she wasn't even running her fastest :D . There is a little bit more in there yet.

Ok DSO here is Kenz's JDO run from yesterday - not clear but she was having soo much fun :D .

Only managed to get one JDO run on video today DSO. Naughty Kenz seems to like blind crossing me or so I discovered .

Congratulations everybody on your results. I have a half brag - Kenz had her second agility trial today and ran pretty nicely. We had a very shitty JD course in the morning and most people with faster dogs made a bit of a mess of it (some not very nice angles) but Kenz managed to run two very lovely JDO courses - no quallies but some nice stuff happening. We nearly walked away with JD pass in the PM trial but silly handler didn't play it safe and didn't quite support her dog enough into a tunnel so she popped out . Ah well always the next trial . Hope her older sister's bad run in ADO comes to an end soon. Another great run but with just one bloody missed colour - so can't win this battle.

Sounds like what Ness was doing when I went and stayed with Ptolomy and just before our UD debut .

Looks good Tiggy. Now that takes dedication a video session in your pj's ;) .

;) Ptolomy I have visions of your red kids doing that as well. I have visions of Kenz doing that if I tried that with her. Ness would pick up the first one if she found a second one stop at it and go WTF, probably drop them both and then stand there going hello mum what are you wanting .

I have all 4 dvd sets :D including the competition one.
