Continuing Professional Education
As a dog trainer I think it is really important to keep up-to-date with the latest information and research surrounding our beloved pets. I really do believe in the saying “Learning will set us free”, and being a bit of a bookworm certainly helps me with this! The code of practice from the Association of ... Read more
Goodbye little Zen
This is a particularly sad post for me, as my friend Wendy Rutter (neé Page) has recently lost her collie Zen to suspected cancer. Whilst she wasn’t a young dog, it still feels too soon for her to have gone. Above: Desmo, Meg & Zen I met Zen for the first time, many, many moons ... Read more
Diamond Dog show, 10th-11th July 2010
Another hot weekend – can’t get over the beautiful weather we’ve been having, although I’d be happier if the temperature came down a bit. Although I’m burn free which is an achievement in itself! This was the first show Diamond Dog Agility club had run, and it seemed to go relatively smoothly. Unfortunately the ground ... Read more
Relationships with our dogs
Those of you that know me, know I make no secret of the fact that I’m a fan of Canadian dog trainer Susan Garrett. I was delighted to meet her and the rest of the Canadian agility team during their visit for the World Agility Championships, and as well as being a fabulous dog trainer, ... Read more
Tuffley Agility show, 3rd-4th July 2010
Another hot weekend, but I’m glad to report it didn’t reach the baking temperatures of Lansdown. However I did manage to burn my lips again on the Sunday – the cooler temperatures, caught me off guard – grr! Another weekend of good and bad bits. The good bits centred around my handling improving and everything ... Read more
Lansdown Agility show, 26th-27th June 2010
My overriding memory of Lansdown 2010 will be the intense heat, like nothing we’ve ever experienced there before! You’ll see from the picture below that the grass is looking very pale and bleached out, and it was more or less the same around the rings. No exciting places had, but there were glimpses of the ...

Excuses, excuses!
It’s been a while since I posted, so I thought I’d pop a quick update of how things have been going recently. It’s been a busy few weeks since SWAT show, which was the weekend we received an offer on our house. It led to negotiations on a house that we had our eye on, ... Read more
SWAT show, 29th-30th May 2010
Well I managed to fulfill two of the aims I set myself from last weekends experience at UKA Phoenix – I duly put a curfew on the husband and managed an early night, and made myself have Weetabix for breakfast both Saturday and Sunday morning. Need to work on the third goal of being focused ... Read more
UKA Phoenix, Saturday 22nd May 2010
Lovely hot summers day today, almost too hot really although I’ve escaped my customary sunburn with judicious application of factor 30 suntan lotion throughout the day. I was scrime for Wendy Page who had her first judging appointment today, who set some great steeplechase courses. The beginner one at the end of the day was ... Read more
