My blogging’s been pretty bad lately (read: i haven’t blogged like forever!)… many things going on.
Pan’s training is coming along, and since a month or 2 I am able to train more regularly because I have my trainingplace! It’s a big field, all fenced, needs a bit work still – but we’ve set out our jumps, weaves and seesaw.
I never much progress without a proper training plan, so for October and November I’ve written one- which includes training some specific skills like 270′s, distance grids, value building for decel and acelleration. Pan and I are also working on improving skills in switching between high arousal and relaxation, checking in uncued, sents and a cued stand. Lots really. With the other dogs we are doing some ‘treibbal’- but that’s at a very premature state
Besides the training, work and all else which keeps me busy- i’ve spent a lot of time in organising a 2 day seminar, which for me is a first time. There’s a lot of work, and yes -stress too- that goes into organising an agility workshop with foreign instructors! I am glad and very thankfull for my family who’ve been helping out and supporting me all along from my first idea. Also thanks to my friends who’ve been helping out.
I am enjoying ‘puppy sitting’ duties every Monday for my friend Bianca (Xzibit of Dazzling)- I just love puppies and seeing them develop. This is one special litter! The puppies are developing well and will be amazing- It’s a very time consuming activity however… but hey- have I mentioned that I LOVE puppies?!
Since the weather’s been so nice I’ve taken out the camera. Here’s a nice shot of my lovely boys in the autumn sun:
