Happy Holidays to both of you and all of the other Agility Dynamite students!  So far this has been an awesome experience for us!  I have learned so much already!

My goals for 2007 are to work on being a better team with Phoenix.  I think all the little pieces are there, we just need to bring it all together.  I couldn't ask for a better partner!  I really hope to quaify for our AAC regionals this year and make the trip to Ontario for the Nationals in August.  But mostly, I just want to have a blast running her and enjoy the ride.  It goes by so fast!

Good luck to everyone in 2007 - I hope it's a great agility year!

My new years resolution is to buy warmer clothes and to change my outlook on things when they don't go as planned (read: trying to qualify for akc nationals in two months)....my new motto for myslef is going to be 'pull your head out of your ass and kiss your dog!' ha ha ha.... ffluffy

I resolve to find a contact behavior and STICK WITH IT!!

Also to achieve faster weaves. Shasta likes to walk through taking three steps per pole. You can take a nap waiting for her to finish.

 But my main goal is to have fun with my dogs and develop our teamwork.

I resolve to get a new lesson out every week.

And to work Bree more. 

I hope everyone has a happy an safe new year!! I am looking forward to getting back to NC where is it considerably warmer than here in Toronto!! and where I have dsl not dial up!!!!

New years resolutions;

Pippen: MAD (need 1 standard leg) and his ADCh. Also to qualify him for AKC nationals.  As far as intangibles.... I want to run him at squirrel chasing speed.  If I can get that then that will be an achievment.

For Shadow I would like to get her MACh2 and get her qualified for akc and usdaa national competition.  I would like to keep both Shadow and Pippen in the top 5 AKC Lakelands so I will have to do some AKC)

For thunder I hope to get him ready to show (he needs more practice with his weaving and with working in close to me) and perhaps get his starters titles.

I would like to have my BC puppy Wisp ready to compete by this time next year (hopefully she will look as good as Yankee!).

I am looking forward to getting to work on these goals and having Olga and Eric's help to get there.... am also looking forward to meeting some of my fellow students perhaps at scotsdale in 2007.....perhaps team TNT???

happy new year

Happy New Year!

It's hard to believe the year is nearly over....it has been a whirlwind!

In 2007, I resolve to:

Keep working on the basics....connection and teamwork, positions, timing, understanding verbals, life skills....our work is never done, but it does get easier!

When we're ready, enter a trial with Freddie ...can't wait! Actually, yes I can....but I do look forward to it!

Cherish the people in my life....never take them for granted, make sure they know how I feel about them, and not waste time or energy on things that don't really matter.

Love my dogs...after a full day, right now Gus is warming my feet and Freddie is cuddled next to me on the sofa. Their world is a happy place. As it should be....

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful New Year!!

What wonderfull resolutions everyone has!

Mine are much the same....I want to have a better "team"  relationship with my little girl, provide more varried training opportunities, make the cross between training and trialing.

Thank you TNT, you guys are so awesome and am so enjoying your classes.
