Agility and Pups!!!!
August/September 2021
It has been a really good few weeks for myself and my dogs in agility; Bree has been 2nd in a jumping final at Pure Agility Show, and Mitch did four really good runs at that show. The following week, Bree had 3 runs 3 clears and 3 first places at Agility Nuts Show. No runs for Mitch.
On Sept 11th, Bree did an amazing clear round, in her Olympia quarter final run, just missing out on qualifying for Olympia. An amazing achievement, for a dog, at almost 10 years of age.
My 1st two puppies classes, came to their conclusion. I loved every moment of teaching both classes, and each puppy left with a ' goody bag'...and a happy owner.
I currently have another two puppy classes, that I am teaching, at my paddock in Worthington....and starting on the 18th September are two agility foundation courses.
September 18th
So the sun shone and we had perfect weather, for the first agility foundation courses at DanTup. A real mixture of different breeds of dogs, which was great. Older dogs in the first class, and the younger dogs in the second class. Lots of things for everybody to go home and work on. Hopefully, a couple of new wobble boards and some more toys arriving for next week's classes 🤞
Sunday September 19th 2021.
A good day at, Southam Show. I really like this show.
Bree, was her usual awesome self, and another win for her.
Still looking for that elusive clear with Mitch, but his confidence in the ring is getting better all the time, and his contacts have been great, and consistent and his weaves much better.
September 20th onwards
A good week weather wise.
My two puppy groups went well, everybody working hard, to improve their own puppy, and its behaviour and obedience.
All my 1-2-1 agility pupils were taught in beautiful weather and the lovely surroundings of my paddock.
Saturday, we trained a small jump, a tyre, drive/focus, and a low dog walk in my agility foundation training.
Sunday 26th September 2021
I headed off to a show at Catton Hall, where Bree, won both of her classes, Grade 7 agility, and Comb 6/7 jumping, and Mitch, got his first clear round in Gr 1-3 Agility, and won the Grade 2 class by 5 seconds!!
He needs an agility win or a jumping win to now get to Grade 3.
A great day on Sunday........so proud of my dogs.
Tuesday October 5th 2021
Bree and myself, have been invited by the Kennel Club, and Agility Management Team of Great Britain, to try out for the GB Agility teams, for 2022. This would include competing at the European and World Agility Championships. A great honour to be asked, and so very proud of Bree.
Saturday October 9th 2021
A lovely day, weather wise, to finish my puppy training outdoors for the summer.
The two foundation agility classes, also, reached their conclusion.
All dogs trained really well, and were a credit to their owners....and each one went away with a 'goodie bag'
I am now looking forward to the indoor classes starting at the Beaumont Centre, in Peggs Green.
At my venue in Worthington, I am still taking 1-2-1's and a group class in agility is starting end of October.
Sunday 24th October
