We have been competing about 2 days a month and the dogs have been doing super.  Lots of great performances and great times.  Mayhem has earned several QQ’s and is at 7 now !  He’s become so much more speedy and himself at trials…I love it !  Zae has been competing in master jumpers and holding his own with some good times.  He needs one more excellent standard leg to move up into master jumpers but has been doing amazing.

 

 

 

I am also excited to share that PYRWILD is now sponsored by Ruffdog Sports Supply 🙂

The weather has warmed up so we can begin spending more time outdoors and in the woods.  I just love these amazing dogs 🙂 Also, a reminder that I do offer ongoing private lessons/coaching and my Winter Games course has been redeveloped into an ongoing Skills and Relationship Building course.

Some updates

by pyrwild, posted in trial results

We have been competing a sunday here and there and the dogs have been doing super and having great results.  Since my last update, Mayhem has gotten 2 QQ’s, four first places, a third place and Zae has gotten several execellent Q’s with great times several times faster than the master dogs 🙂   He gets more confident each run and we are having a lot of fun.

Mayhem was #3 on 2016’s Bad Dog Agility’s breed power scores This was after just beginning to compete again and some runs with a stressed out Mayhem.  He has been running beautifully at trials since then.  After many years and trying countless things twice over to combat Mayhem’s ring stress I might have finally found a solution.  I have a food bowl game I quickly work on with the dogs several times a week and Mayhem struggles through it but has really helped him work through stress.  I do include this method in my Winter Games class and the next session will begin March 1st.  Registration is open now.  For more info click here.

Today marks 2 years since I brought Zae home from Germany.  He has taught me so much and helped push me even further to be the trainer that I am today.  Excited for many more years with my little skipskap !

Zae OA OAJ

Zae had two days trialing at two different locations Nov 20 and 27 and earned a title each day. 🙂  Zae has moved up much quicker than anticipated in the levels.  We were in no rush to move up levels with the days here and there we did compete–novice and open were just easy breezy for the little skip skap!

Nov 20 was a novice/open only trial and Zae not only won each of his classes but had the fastest time of all heights too.  He nailed a beautiful dogwalk into a weave entry perfectly in standard.  And in jumpers midway though the run I noticed my shoe was untied so not so good handling :o)

 

 

Mayhem’s 6th birthday was Nov 25–he still is a little baby though 😀 He also competed Nov 27 but was battling his ring stress and did not Q in his runs.

Coming up Dec 19 Zae will turn two years old!  Also, because I am finishing up my last semester before I graduate we will take a break from competing until Dec is over.

 

Zae’s first competition in open and Mayhem MX

by pyrwild, posted in trial results

Zae continues to handle trialing effortlessly!  Really pleased with his dogwalks in competition so far and very happy with his reared weave entry in trial.  Though, competing in nested courses between levels creates its own challenge for me as a handler too as I got lost in one of Zae’s run because I was still in the mindset of Mayhem’s run.

Mayhem had some nice runs too and finally earned his MX with a 1st place !  Though, a missed jump each run was the trend at this trial with him..but otherwise he was running nicely and had some great parts.  Pushing some skills in competition with him and was impressed by his ability to rear weaves in a trial setting 😀  Just starting to get back in the swing of competing with Mayhem but it is feeling good.
