You'll have to try and get along to a show and watch us compete. I'll probably be doing Paws in the Park at Detling later in the year.

After a few shows where I was working on the rings and we didn't achieve a great deal we were back on form at Paws in the park. Bertie managed 5 clear rounds out of 6 runs.

The other run was a bit of a farce. I tried Bertie with some high energy treats to see if it made a difference. It did, he went absolutely ape, jumped the down contact on the dogwalk, came out of the weaves and bit me, back weaved, ran up the dogwalk three times instead of going in the tunnel. he was completely hyper.

Well done to both of you (*) .

Bonnie was supposed to start Agility this month but I'd overlooked that she was going to come into season so have now deferred until September by which time she should be spayed ready for action ! She had a preliminary introduction in some of her early puppy classes and seemed to enjoy so looking forward to seeing how she gets on with the real thing.

Back on form in a big way today. Started the day with a clear round in combined 1-4 jumping and finished with a clear in combined 1-7 speed jumping. In-between we won Grade 4 agility which puts us up to grade 5. I'm still high on adrenalin and Bertie is sparko under the desk.
