Starting to work again

Well, at last updating my blog as I am finally working my dogs again! They both had a lot of time off over Xmas what with club closing, Ethan waking lots etc etc.

Hoaxey continues to improve and gain confidence. We have done a few sessions with Toni, Tasha and Dave and each of them have given me something to work on. Last session was with Dave who seemed to 'get' Hoax pretty well. I was chuffed with how she worked, finally she is starting to gain speed and confidence although I still think she has a lot more to give. I won't bore you with specifics but each aspect is better although who knows what is going to happen at shows.

Boo is my angel as always, however with all the work I have put into H our relationship has suffered. We still adore each other, just dont feel quite as 'tuned' in agilitywise, trying to do a little more with him as I am thinking about trying out for the IFCS and we need to be spot on for that :-)

We ran a fun show at MAD in November aswell which was great fun. I let Boo down with some pretty shabby handling but worked H well. I also finally got a chance to compare her times with another medium (Tonis Minx) and we didnt come out too poorly from it. I don't think Toni is going to worry about Hoaxey being hot on Minx' heels right now but I was extremly proud of her nonetheless.

Well sadly (in agilty terms) we are soon off to South Africa for three weeks so our dogs wont be worked. I get back and we have show season starting soon after- excited!
