A PYRWILD Update

15 April 201914 August 2019 by pyrwild, posted in photos, training, trial results, updates

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.

ONLINE WORKSHOP: Teeter Tune-Ups

9 June 20181 May 2022 by pyrwild, posted in online classes, training

Students all over the world have enjoyed and benefited from this comprehensive teeter course

Just like a lot of foundation skills in dog training and agility the teeter also needs some regular maintenance to keep its performance in tiptop shape. This course is intended to give you the tools to create a confident dog who slides into success by working on little tune-ups to adjust their teeter performance. No heavy duty tools necessary. 🙂

This course is suitable for dogs who need a better teeter (confidence, control or understanding) along with dogs and puppies (9 months+) who are just beginning their seesaw education. Teeter Tune-Ups provides all the tools for you dream teeter and building a strong teeter foundation along with expert guidance and feedback.

🌟 New in 2020, Teeter Tune-Ups also includes a Puppy Diary of Onnea learning the teeter from the ground up as part of the expansive course content.

Nancy Gyes Seminar

6 June 2018 by pyrwild, posted in updates

I can get a bit lazy handling my own dogs- especially after such a long hiatus like we took ! :o) It’s not that we don’t do okay- we just don’t do our best. I was looking forward to this seminar to whip my handling back into shape. It did that and more ! Was the eye opener that I was needing.

Sometimes I still think of Zae as my young, lackadaisical dog who would trot and go around barless jumps. He isn’t. I’ve put so much work into him and the progress he’s made has been unbelievable ! Working with Nancy helped me realize that I need to be a better teammate for Zae as the dog he is now so we can continue to grow as a team. ❤️

Private lessons are now available at my field in Medford. If there is enough interest, I’ll also run a weekly class. See Training and Contact Me. 😊
