Doing Some Turn Training

26 June, 2009 (17:29) | Agility, Chase | By: Cynthia

So I got a new little camcorder. It’s an RCA EZ300HD… which means, yes, it’s HD. Yay! It’s not the best quality HD in the world but it’s better than my other camcorder that records to DVD. This one doesn’t have all the options needed for agility recording, but it’s gonna be great [...]

Understanding Collection and Turning

8 June, 2009 (16:53) | Agility, Chase | By: Cynthia

So I’ve been competing and training in agility for, oh, about five years now. Levi was my first agility dog, and he’s a collie, a bit long in the body and not very flexible. He is just about retired… and my new agility dog is Chase, a border collie. Chase is very flexible and [...]

I Think I’m Getting a Puppy

3 June, 2009 (07:25) | Agility, Chase | By: Cynthia

I don’t want to go into detail yet about what kind of puppy, as I want to make sure everything is going to work out. But I can’t help talking about it.
It’s a boy, and I’m thinking of naming him Jet. I have wanted a small dog for quite some time. And if [...]

Chase’s First Obedience Trial Ever!

23 May, 2009 (20:23) | Chase, Levi, Obedience | By: Cynthia

I am so thrilled with Chase’s first obedience trial! Levi, Chase and I went to an ASCA obedience trial today. I was nervous… I always get more nervous in obedience than in agility. But the boys did great. Levi got his first open Q… his first leg towards his CDX! I was happy, though [...]

One Q in ASCA Agility

16 May, 2009 (18:17) | Agility, Chase | By: Cynthia

I went to an ASCA agility trial today with Chase. I’ve been really sick lately and I haven’t been doing much, and I didn’t feel up to taking any of the other dogs. I only entered Chase and so just brought him.
He did really well. Unfortunately I couldn’t run fast enough or cue [...]

Blown Pad

17 March, 2009 (18:54) | Chase | By: Cynthia

Well, my Husband took Muffit and Chase to the park yesterday and Chase blew his pad.  Poor boy. He has the most sensitive feet.
So this evening we put some Vitamin E on his pad, put on gauze (okay it’s a band aid, LOL) and then wrapped his foot with vet wrap (notice the blue, our [...]

Long Days of Agility

16 February, 2009 (18:03) | Agility, Chase, Levi, Tatum | By: Cynthia

Whew! What a weekend! I am dead tired. At the end of the first day I thought having a 3 day ASCA trial was a great idea (ASCA  is Australian Shepherd Club of America). However, today, after the third day was over, I think two days are better!  I’m dead tired. So are my dogs, [...]

Chase and Dylan in Singles

9 February, 2009 (09:13) | Chase, Flyball | By: Cynthia

Sometimes it takes me a while to get vidoes up! And I know why, each time I do them. My laptop isn’t the speediest when it comes to building videos. It takes me a while to import them and fiddle with them etc… but anyway, so I did only this one. I’ll [...]

Flyball Is Too Much Work

2 February, 2009 (16:22) | Chase, Flyball | By: Cynthia

GEEZ I’ll tell ya, flyball is way too much work. I’m home, finally, sitting on the couch and way too tired to go upstairs and get my camera to load any pictures.
Chase did great, his team took first place in division four on Sunday. Our junior handler got a .000 start with her Border [...]

Chase Does Great in Agility

26 January, 2009 (08:59) | Agility, Chase | By: Cynthia

The AKC agility trial was fun. It’s nice to see Chase and I finally running together better! We didn’t get any Qs (Qualifying Runs) but we had fun and I think Chase did really well. He knocked bars on runs he would have otherwise qualified on, which is frustrating but something we can fix.
This first [...]
