Angel - Agility Training

I took Angel to agility training this afternoon, we were training for about 1hour 30mins which was good for both of us because it gets us fit lol... Angel was little miss speedy at training and she was really enjoying her self which is nice to see! I don't train Angel to much because she starts getting slower the more i train her, i have noticed she seems to get fed up of to much training so i only train every so often!

Here is a short video of Angel training today..

(Day 3) Obedience

It was the final day today it was obedience. Jazz was so excited her tail was wagging most of the day! I didn’t no what to expect with Jazz because she was there all day. She was great except from when she saw my parents and decided instead of picking up the dumbell she would go and vist them haha! Apart from that she was concentrating really well especially for the age of 10months! I couldnt ask anymore of her she really done me proud today :)

Results…

The Final; Jazz got into the final WOO, I was nervous because it had been a long day for her and i didn’t know if she would still be able to concentrate but she proved me wrong!! She was AMAZING the whole round she was tuned into me. I wasnt confident with her recall because it was a long way, but she managed to wait even if she didnt sniff the floor a little bit lol! I will post the final results tomorrow..

Back From Crufts!!..

Bad Storm: Angel isn't home with me :( she is still in England because of the terrible storm, i am hoping she will be back wednesday morning! It just isnt the same without her at home
She is now back home :D

I am now back home from Crufts 2008, it was amazing as it always is.

I really enjoyed watching the agility of course and the flyball (WOW THE SPEED........)

The best in show was great the agility championships were amazing to watch that was the highlight of Crufts for me!


Me and Angel did 5 good citizen silver displays which was good fun. On the saturday we done 3 displays and on the second display the Duke Of Kent and Grommit came in the ring because Grommit is now the new face for the good citizen dog scheme (Im not sure what the dogs thought when a giant Grommit came into the ring haha)

Angel was really tired at the end of each day and so was I we had quite alot of travelling getting on buses and taxi's (im pleased that part is over haha)

I didnt take many photo's because i was to busy buying leads & collars lol and watching everything.

Here is a photo of me and Angel on our bench......

Jazz Obedience Training

Jazz is doing really well, she has picked up obedience very quickly and she seems to enjoy it as you can see by her wagging her tail whilst training.. sometimes she looses concentration so i only do short training sessions, usually around 5mins which lots of play in between, otherwise she gets bored and goes all moody and runs off and lays down as if to say boringggggggg!!... (Moody Puppy) haha

Here is a little video i made up this evening of Jazz doing some obedience training in the kitchen!!!

Jazz Agility Training - Nearly 10 months

Jazz is nearly 10months old already!!!

I decided to do a little bit of agility training with Jazz today, she did a few jumps on a low height and the pipe tunnel! She really really enjoyed herself today. When it was time to leave she wouldnt let me catch her haha the little bugger!

She is already going very fast when turning and especially when she is running in a straight line as you can see in the first clip of the video, i couldnt keep up so i let her run on hah! im to lazy, i think i need to get alot fitter to try and keep up with her, but it was good practise sending her on for distance control.

Here is a short video of her jumping a few jumps on the low height and going through the pipe tunnel...
