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 [...]

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 [...]

Tatum’s Agility School

9 May, 2009 (11:50) | Training | By: Cynthia

ore pictures from the flyball tournament! LOL but this one is not of flyball, but of Tatum and Chase playing. After the tournament was over we got to relax and the dogs got to run and play. I love to let them run and play as I think they need to relax and burn off [...]

Agility Weekend and Sore Knees

16 March, 2009 (16:14) | Agility | By: Cynthia

Well, back from another agility weekend. We had a DOCNA trial and it was a lot of fun. Chase did great, he loves the wide open courses. Levi also did great. Levi Q’d in three out of his four runs. He loves jumping at 16″. When he’s 10 years old, he can run [...]

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, [...]

Tatum and Muffit and Agility Practice

6 February, 2009 (16:01) | Agility, Muffit, Tatum, Training | By: Cynthia

I am so thrilled! I took Tatum and Muffit out to the local agility barn today and Tatum did so great!
She is a maniac on the A-Frame! Well, no, not a maniac, LOL, but she’s fast and not afraid at all. I thought she might be afraid of the contacts and I’m so glad [...]

Does Levi Look Stiff?

28 January, 2009 (13:24) | Agility, Levi | By: Cynthia

Here are Levi’s runs from agility last weekend. He’s such a good boy and I love running him still. We have been doing agility for five years now. Wow, five years! I don’t even know what I did before agility. I must have had a ton of time!

Levi is 9, he’ll be 10 in November, [...]

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 [...]
