Well, we came back from holiday last week and I really should get back to training. I sit here and watch Crufts, read blogs and get the warmth in my belly that makes me really want to train my dogs. Or maybe thats the glass of Chenin Blanc doing the warming.... anyway I miss the old me. I miss having the time and focus to really train my dogs. Hoax has had a splattering of training sessions over the winter and Boo has only had one or two :( The end of the day comes and I have no energy left for my poor woofs. I train once a week at MAD and try to dedicate this to Baby Hoaxey. I feel bad in a way as both my dogs have promise but I just havent put the time into them. I know their weaknesses only too well but havent had the time to train them since before I got pregnant- that goes back to winter 2007!!!
My competitive spirit is still running strong but I cannot expect my dogs to perform if I cant put the time in. Am I content to just 'have fun'???

oh Gemma! I know this feeling only too well! Finlay is 2 now & I still struggle to find the time to train Tia! Thankfully (sort of!) by first agility dog (the Beardie x - Sal) is now retired thanks to spinal spondulosis, so I only need to train & work one dog - Still a struggle though! The girls don't seem tp ind too much though! They seem to enjoy the pressure time I give them all the more!!! Hope it gets easier soon....!!!!!!!!!!!
