It’s been an epic battle, and still ongoing, but I think Jaxon might actually be winning…

Discovery Monday – Getting in the groove
What are we going to play today?
It’s a beautiful thing when you really start to click with your dog as a team.
I’ve been training my dog for 4 years, 2 .5 of those consistently and through club, and then starting Agility. Over that time I’ve learnt a lot about being a handler, owning a dog, opening my heart, patience and persistence.
Discovery Monday – neat tricks
Embarrased me you have. Pee in your shoes I will.
There are a lot of talented puppies on the Internet. I’m sure you spend hours looking at them and their kitty friends for a good laugh. When it comes to pure talent, it’s such a joy to watch the elite levels of our sport when they are working.
Last week we talked about doggie friends overseas who are currently participating in various competitions and they are running with out their normal team mates.
Workout Wednesday – Target practice
Getting back into club has been fun after a long break for both Jaxon & I. I’ve found that it’s given us some time to settle down our training, and approach it from a different attitude.
I’m also loving the One Mind method, and how much smoother this is in the run. Jaxon has been learning the new moves with me for a few months now, and I can see that is starting to pay off.
While rain didn’t help his distraction cause on the weekend, we did have a lot of fun doing some foundation work on obstacle focus.
Discovery Monday – Running with other dogs
We’re quietly anticipating the upcoming World Agility Open Championships in Italy. There’s a great team going from Australia, and I was wondering how they were going to get their dogs all the way to Italy, then back again with Quarantine times etc.
News from Holiday Camp
Jaxon’s a bit annoyed I’ve gone away and taken the computer with me. So he can’t help write the blog.
He has been sending photos and news of his holiday with his friend Coco, though, and looks like he’s having a fabulous time without us!
I’ll let the photos & video speak for themselves.
Happy weekend everyone!
First port of call, steal my host’s bed…
Workout Wednesday – Snow Dog shuffle
Jaxon is a single coat pampered pup. I often wonder what he would do in the snow. In fact I’m thinking of taking him to the snow this year just to find out.
A bit to the left…
This doggie is obviously very happy lying in the sun. Up the mountain, there were a bunch of Labradors and a poodle doing doggie rescue training.
Agility News Friday – the agility groove
It’s so great to hear when teams of dogs and people get their Agility groove.

Recently, we’ve had a lot of our friends & members of the NSDTC Agility Club with great success in the rings, getting their first titles, and gaining lots of new awards and qualies.
Not all of them were gun dogs – quite a few different breeds out there winning in the rings!
Congratulations to all of those who gained new titles or added qualies in February! It’s been a hard and fast start to the year.
Workout Wednesday – Lap turn
Another Wednesday, another move from One Mind Dogs – this time a Lap turn.
I’ve been trying out a bunch of new moves, using our training sessions to first get Jaxon used to the hand signals, then move on to the actual jumps.
