Beth. Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I love these threads!! With next year being my final year of uni, I doubt i'll get to many comps, so i'm really going to focus on agility!! Mainly ADAA, and hopefully get a few titles, but also get some titles in ANKC as well :D I would also love our CD title (we have one leg), but i'll see how we go, agility is my preference now I also hope to get her ET as wellnow that she's old enough :D That'll do us for the year, I can't wait to get into agility next year, we just LOVE it!!! Goodluck to everyone on their goals next year :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitka Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I was still thinking about if I really wanted to put anything here but hay why not :D For me it will really depend on where I am next year so thats how ill play it for now. If im still in Sale then ill be stealing mum's dog First just work our way up through obedience classes and hopefully start foundation agility training. Little Noah has so much toy drive so it should be fun seeing how he goes If I dont end up staying in Sale then its trying to convicne OH to let me get a puppy I might even try try some tracking with Toby depending on where we are. Thats it I think, really looking forward to next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megan_ Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Here's my first stab at a list. I reserve the right to change it at any time! Fergus: * Continue to get his love of agility back. This comes before all else. * Enter first jumps and agility trials, once we have solid, fast, reliable weavers. Failing spectacularly is allowed. *Reliable 2o2o for the A-Frame, not just the dog walk. * Scent detection training for fun. * Perfect heel turns, get him to a state where he could trial in OB, even though we won't. * Start flyball training, if we can find the time. Lucy: * Continue her rehab. * Enter jumps trial for fun, just to see how she'd go in front of a crowd. Even doing one jump will get us in the win column. * Weaving. * scent detection training for fun. * learning heel, including some sharp turns. Me: Try to improve handling skills as much as possible.

Pretty Miss Emma Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I would like to have a go at the following with little munchkin Kenzie... Endurance CCD and maybe CD (if she makes the grade!) get started in the agility ring (we're still learning, so where ever it is that you generally use as the starting point!) maybe look at herding (we'll see how she goes next weekend!) But highest on my priority list is continuing with her confidence training and also dealing with her reactivity. She has come leaps and bounds and I'm hoping that the next 12 months will see her mature with some massive successes on these fronts in particular as really they are probably the most important to me and her in terms of her everyday life! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agility Dogs Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Xena Continue on as she has been going and improve on my handling of her as opposed to her ability on course. Titles ANKC (We don't do a lot of ANKC trials.) JDM ADX and ADM JDO ADO GDX SDX SPDX ADAA International Agility Dog (7 wins at advanced level - only a couple to go!) Gamblers Dog Snooker Dog (Both run at ADAA open standard) She has everything else, the rest are 'just' multiples. LOL. CK Continue his improvement in both confidence and drive. Work HARD on my timing with him running courses - he needs the information early or he just can't turn. He's a FAST dog and isn't the smallest boy around so if I'm late he just takes the off course. Titles..... ANKC JDM ADX GDX SDX SPDX JDO ADO ADAA Masters Aust Agility Dog (Which will complete his Aust Agility Champion which consists of Team Dog, Games Dog and MAAD). Advanced Australian Agility Dog. Gamblers Dog Snooker Dog Jumping Dog Wikki complete the Susan Garrett Recallers course and really start to work on building her excitement for agility. I feel the need for speed! her skills are in a good place, just need more motivation to go with them. Titles ANKC JD AD GD SD SPD ADAA titles Senior Aust Agility Dog Masters Australian Agility Dog (Stretch, but Possible) Jumping Dog Games Dog Team Dog Then for me.......... Improve my consistency and ability to run HARD around an agility course and achieve a clear round (or two) at the World Agility Championships in May next year!

murve Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) our goals for 2012 they arnt much but with handling 3 dogs at different levels of learning, it is fun Malika :: ET, CCD, CD Orlando :: CD ( thats if we loose the last trial this year), yes it is CD for 2012 possible CDX Sarge :: CCD, CD might be lucky for CDX, he is a quick learner Dodger :: JD, AD, my daughter handles Dodger & she is doing Agility with him Somehow we will fit it in I think in the midst of Stewarding at a few Obed / Agility trials that we have already been booked for next year Edited June 25, 2012 by murve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) My goals for the start of 2012 is not for titles or Q's, but to spend a bit more time at Excellence Level Agility & use that time to improve my handling skills & experiment a little before we get up into Masters. It sure beats taking the pressure of that last Q needed. Our challenge for 2012 is to teach Cricket Puppy to ride a skateboard & to teach Miss Bindi to ride a surfboard Edited December 3, 2011 by sheena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I think 2012 is going to be a very busy year with the Agility Nationals in June, Dalmatian Nationals in November and a debut for Em in retrieving, obedience and agility Ziggy & Me Concentrate on fitness - strength, speed and endurance.....tugging, begging, rear end awareness, sprint work and running with the bike. Obedience - pretty much the same as last year - duration heeling, fast drops for DOR, tighten up dumbbell work ready for Open obedience Agility - will be concentrating on independent contacts (keep the criteria tight!!!!) and weaving, learn to trust my dog , stop looking at the jump I DON'T want him to take, learn to run in a straight line for serps , speed and tight turns for a big striding dog will be the main aim of the game! ET - Dally Club trial if the stars align! Em & Me Try and keep up with her ;) Obedience - a little more self control needed in the recall and stand for exam (no points for mugging judges for cuddles!) Continue to tighten up the flip finish. Happy with the retrieve although it does require a lot of concentration for her to deliver it calmly I would like to skip CCD and get her Novice title in 2012. Agility - have her ready for Novice Jumping, Novice Agility and perhaps even Open in time for the Nationals. Too much to work on to list individually but she will be quick and keen so it will be a case of me keeping up with her! Retrieving - not too many goals here other than to enter Novice Retrieving trials - I think she is ready but I'm happy to stay in Novice for a little while and gain some experience for both of us. I really won't know where she's at and what we need to work on until we enter a few trials. In terms of training, we will continue on as we have done and train towards Restricted. Need to shoot over her before January so we can enter the Gundog trial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Banjo RN title CCD title CD pass Bear RN title CCD pass ET title (depending on if it's held after he turns 2) Me Commit to it, get a handle on my nerves and have fun!

ktig Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I think I'm a bit cheeky joining this thread, but my big plan for Paddington and I in 2012 is to work our way through the low level beginner classes and maybe go to our first trial if all goes well! Also plan to start the basics in agility...puppies are such good fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Panzer Attack! Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 OK! The dogs are at awkward ages at the moment, Scooter is almost 1 and Tucky is 8, but what the hell. SCOOTER - Do a neuter show, at least one! - Finally kick the toilet training in the nuts... we're 90% there now! - Teach him 100 different tricks/things - Get him recalling as soon as he hears his word (he's about 60% right now) - Sign him up to agility! And hopefully get him past beginners!! - Finish Crate Games - Get his food and tug drive perfect - Enroll in obed and finish beginners - Prepare for ET 2013 - Prep for hospital visits TUCKER - Get him back to loose lead walking - Get a really reliable recall - Teach him clicker training - Finish Crate Games - Build toy/ball drive as he's never shown any interest - Get him enrolled in obed and finish beginners ME - STRESS LESS! - Start my Delta course - Learn more and more about dog behaviour and get more involved in the dog and rescue and training worlds - Prepare for ET 2013 (I've either got to learn to ride a bike or run it, so this will be interesting!) Gotta have more luck this year! E x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
