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.

The dogs had 12 runs total with four 1st places, two 2nd places and a QQ. 🙂 Mayhem earned 1st and 2nd in master jumpers. Zae got 1st place in premier jumpers and standard on saturday and a QQ sunday with 1st in standard and 2nd in jumpers. More importantly, had really nice moments in the ring with both dogs. Mayhem’s ring stress was almost completely gone in one of his runs and it was a blast to run him like that. Zae is having really brilliant moments and is beginning to find his stride a bit more. We’re still learning to be a connected team on course but with not training or competing I am quite pleased with where we are at. His contacts his weekend were so lovely too. Something that I am wanting to train and should be able to soon now that we are acquiring some equipment again. 🙂 Back to training now !
