Zae AX and first QQ

by pyrwild, posted in trial results

Zae recently earned his AX putting him into masters standard.  Our competition after that he earned his first double QQ with a third and fourth place 😀

Mayhem has been doing super too and running very fast in competition.  He is such an amazing dog and it feels great to be pushed as a handler in the ring with him.   The Bad Dog Agility power rankings are out for the beginning of the year and Mayhem is the 3rd fastest boston this year so far…I intend to keep pushing to be the best we can be 🙂

Next several competitions are all in different locations and on different surfaces–excited for a change ! 🙂

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 !
