A PYRWILD Update

A lot of (EXCITING) stuff has happened in the last couple months.

We relocated to Eugene, OR and now live in a lovely cottage in the trees.

I am also now teaching agility full-time @ Infinity Dog Sports and am over the moon over this opportunity.  I taught my first workshop last month and it was a huge success, too.  I feel so in my element teaching and am quite honored to be an instructor.  The community here has been so welcoming and kind.  It truly is a dream come true.

My life has 100% ‘gone to the dogs’ and I wouldn’t change a thing.  I look forward to all the opportunities that will continue to come my way and all that PYRWILD education grows.

Mayhem had a super time competing last month @ the Eugene trial.  He earned a Q/3rd in JWW saturday and a QQ with two first places sunday.  He’s now 5 QQ’s away from his championship.  I am looking forward to competing with him three days coming up this weekend again at Eugene.  We’re both having lots of fun- and that’s the key and most important part to me.  He’s such an incredible little dog.

I ended up pulling Zae’s World Team Tryout entry after his last competition some weekends ago.  His confidence has been lacking in the trial environment and I wouldn’t want to go to a big event like that unless we could truly push and do our best.  I will continue working to rebuild his confidence and focus at trials along with working on my own mental game at competitions.  We’ll show ’em what we’ve got next year.  🙂

Because, without a doubt, the skills are there.  The teamwork is there.  The love for playing the game together is there.

Here are some extreme weave scenarios I practiced with the skipskap last week.  He’s such a superstar and always surprises me with his brilliant success.  And yes, these were our ‘first tries’. 🙂

We’re still settling in but enjoying living in Eugene !  The dogs and I are quite happy to be an hour from the coast.  More photos from our beach adventures on Flickr.

Thank You 2018, Hello 2019

2018 was such a cool year- even if it was far from easy.  From following my dreams and moving cross country and having my own agility field to train and teach at to Zae turning 4 and qualifying for World team tryouts…  PYRWILD continues to grow and have opportunities I could only dream of. 🙂

We had our last trial of 2018 and it was probably Zae’s best competition performance wise overall.  Really great moments and speed in the ring with him.  He earned QQ #8 along with his masters agility title (MX) and novice fast title (NF). 1st and 2nd in T2B and some beautiful premier standard NQ’s.

It was the boston terrier club trial too so Stormy got to come out of retirement for a run each day and Mayhem got to run too.  I had been taking a break from trialing Mayhem so I could mentally focus on Zae but T2B each day was perfect to enter.  Stormy hadn’t trialed in over 3 years and we don’t practice for her soundness.  Both dogs did really super.  Stormy loved every second of it and Mayhem even earned 1st place.

I am so grateful for all we got to compete this year and the fun times we had.  Along with the beautiful places we’ve got to experience for hiking and agility.  Zae and I have also become a stronger team and continue to understand each other better and better each trial.  I continue to learn and become better with this little dog !  We’ve also kindly been welcomed into the agility community here in Oregon and continue to meet cool new friends. 🙂

Thank you to everyone who was part of our year.  Thank you for all the love and support and a huge thank you to all my amazing students for giving me the opportunity teach and honor of working with them. ❤️ Looking forward to all the amazing moments and opportunities 2019 brings !

Happy 4th Birthday Zae !

Crazy to believe my little skipskap is already four years old !  It was his birthday dec 19th.  What a special little dog he is- I am so glad he decided to be mine.  🙂

Does 4 years old mean it’s time for puppies ? 🙂 

Zae has really transformed a lot in the last year and we’ve really begun to strengthen as a team.  We have two days of competing this weekend up in Washington and am looking forward !  He’s been doing super in training and I am feeling quite inspired. 🙂  Counting down to tryouts…

Zae Qualified for WTT 2019 !!

Feels so unreal !  AWC has always been my dream and biggest goal since I started competing in agility in 2009.  Something that always felt very far in the future or out of reach.  We’re not there, yet.  But we’re closer.

Qualifying for and attending tryouts (in May !) is a major dream come true in itself- to have gotten this far feels incredible.  And with my little dog who some years ago I didn’t even think would end up doing any agility. 🙂  We kept at it and never gave up.  Dreaming turned into little steps and planning as we keep unfolding towards our path.  The beauty is in the journey and continuing to live out our dreams is such a cool feeling !

Today’s message truly is Never Give Up and Keep Dreaming ❤️ If you keep going, even taking baby steps, you’ll end up somewhere. 🙂

I am so thankful for these special dogs and the lives we get to live together each day.


Also, coming soon is the Agility Resource & Community.  ARC is the ultimate handler resource for training, competing and collaborating.  Exciting stuff !!
