Tip Tail

So Chase and I went and did agility last weekend… DOCNA, and I’ll post more about that later. But we also did a UKC Obedience show Sunday evening. I have to admit, I enjoy obedience with Chase more than I enjoy agility… and so I’m proud that he got a Q in UKC novice [...]

Chase is a very happy boy… for the first time in months he was playing with our other dogs. Unfortunately Chase does not like it when we have fosters. And so for his sake (and our own peace of mind really) we can’t foster anymore. Titus is gone, he went back to [...]

I love letting the dogs run after a day of agility. This is from Sunday, the day I left Tatum home. So I just let Chase and Jet run a little bit. Chase always gets the Frisbee when these two run together. If it’s just Jet, then Jet will bring me the Frisbee [...]

I took Chase to an ASCA Agility trial last weekend. It was three days, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I think Chase did really well. And I didn’t do too bad myself. I’ve been toying with the idea, lately, of picking a venue with Chase and pursuing a high level title. A Trial [...]

Well we are gearing up for a three day ASCA trial this weekend. I hope to get some video. I MUST get video of Tatum! She’s in Pre-Novice and I’m now nervous about running her! It’ll be just for fun, I don’t think she’s ready really, but pre-novice will be pretty darn easy and it’ll [...]

So I’m working Sits and Downs with Jet and Tatum. As well as signals with Chase… which is similar, for utility obedience, but it’s all hand signals and no verbals. I want them all to have good verbals as well as hand signals. Their sits and downs are great on their own, but when [...]

Here is Chase’s Jumpers with Weaves run from last weekend. He did good, a couple of mistakes… I think I need to invest in buying a good quality triple jump. He takes it out. And we don’t have one so we need to work it.

It’s a good run. I wish Saturday would have gone [...]

Yup, he finally got a Q in AKC! Hehe… he’s been in Excellent for a while now, maybe even a year… I forget, it’s too depressing to keep close track. We have a hard time in excellent in AKC with the twisty courses. But we got a Q, so maybe we actually [...]

So, there’s an AKC agility trial this weekend that I’ve entered Chase in.  We’ll see if all our work with Stacey has paid off!  One thing I learned was… you do not have to be in perfect position to start signaling a front cross. But we need front cross work because I’m always behind Chase, [...]

Unfortunately, Chase is unhappy with our foster dog Titus. Chase doesn’t like other dogs very much… he has space issues and doesn’t like dogs getting into his space. He gives off the weirdest signals. And Titus doesn’t know how to interpret them so he just stares at Chase. And no matter how [...]
