Tip Tail

So it’s been a nice lazy weekend so far. I went and did some agility training last Friday with Tatum. Brought Jet along too for some crate games and recalls and fun. He rolled in the dirt and got nice and brown, of course.
Tatum did really well. She likes 12″ jumps [...]

Well this isn’t a picture of Chase, it’s a picture of super cute Jet… LOL but Jet makes me happy! Okay Chase makes me happy too but he’s not a wiggly cute puppy anymore.

Anyway so Chase got 2 Qs this weekend out of 12 runs. I’ve been told (since my [...]

Did ASCA agility today with Chase.  Dragged my body out of my sick bed. Ugh.  We had fun though. I still want a higher Q rate.  Out of six runs he only got one Q. Fortunately that was in Standard Novice and he needed that for his title. So I’m glad he got it.
Here’s one [...]

Went to flyball last weekend and had a great time. It’s the annual Jumps and Jackpots put on by Touch N Go Flyball Team from Las Vegas, Nevada. They have it in Utah because there’s a really nice location here which is easier to us because we don’t have to drive so far.
I put this [...]

Sunday Morning I went with some friends and did some agility training. I’m kinda pissed at the AKC courses because they are so hard for me to handle with Chase. But I’m learning. And these training sessions have been invaluable to me. A friend got a course map from Agility Nerd and we [...]

So I’m very happy to say that Jet seems to love agility! Well we didn’t do much.    I took him over the dog walk slowly, with it loaded with treats, and he seemed to really like that.  He also ran up the teeter. We held the tipping end so it wouldn’t go down.  [...]

So Tatum is doing great in agility! She really is. She is learning to put obstacles together in sequence. I’m very proud of her. She’s not too sure yet about doing jumps at speed, but she is having fun, her tail is up, and she really loves it. She likes that I run beside [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]
