End of Summer Update

I have been slacking on posting updates here.  It is so much easier to keep our Instagram updated. 😛

We did some competitions this summer and feeling more ‘back in the swing’ after our huge break and moving.  Zae has earned more scores towards tryouts.  Mayhem is chasing 7 QQ’s for his MACH still (with over well over 900 points currently).  I believe we will have two more competitions this year.

Thank you Terry Tuttle for all the great images ! 

The video is from a 4 day trial last month .  I am still having some ups and downs in the ring with Zae and learning to handle and connect with him best.  But am continuing to note and build on the nice parts. 🙂

Another video, with both dogs, from a 4 day trial in California can be seen here.   Was such a fun trial outdoors with mild weather and a lovely drive down the coast there.

It has been a very hot summer and the last two months or so have been extremely smokey from the wildfires cooping us in a bit.  The skies have cleared since (yay !) and the temperature is beginning to drop.  I am looking forward to training more come fall.  My field is continuing to come together nicely and is so cool to have.

We go hiking and into nature any chance possible. 🙂 The lakes are dried now but enjoyed some swimming too.

More of my photos can be seen on Flickr 

I have now offered Teeter Tune-Ups three times and it has been such a fun class to teach !  Students from nine different countries have now been a part of this course- I cannot believe it !! 😀  So cool, and I am so honored to be able to teach online.  I want to send a huge thank you to all my students past, present and future for this opportunity ! ❤️

PYRWILD has also secured sponsorship from two very cool Finish companies: AgiNotes and Nutrolin.  AgiNotes is an app, or online service, which is designed by agility competitors for agility competitors !  It is a cool database to store trainings, competition results, course maps, comments, things to work on, points of weakness, etc and even has graphs and other visuals.  Nutrolin is a human-grade fatty oil supplement company for active dogs.  My dogs are on the Sport blend and also get Skin&Coat.  The dogs LOVE the oils on their food and I have also noticed their fur is soo shiny and feels so soft.  I am so excited to be supported by these cool companies- thank you !  ❤️

FitDogs Class @ ProDogz in Medford

I have an upcoming class that I am teaching beginning in May in the Medford area.  Please contact the respective business hosting the class to sign up.


Fit Paws/Canine Conditioning
@ Prodogz Dog Training in Medford, OR 
IMG_2651.jpgThis course provides basic canine conditioning exercises that also get your dog thinking.  The exercises and skills practiced in this course will require the dog uses his brain to problem solve all while he learns where his feet are and how to balance his body.  These exercises in turn also create a confident dog who knows how to use his body.  This is not a rehabilitation course but a fun way to increase your dogs fitness.

6:00pm – Thursdays – class runs for 4 weeks

I also offer a variety of ways to learn and work with me remotely online as well !  See Training for more information and don’t hesitate to Contact Me with any inquiries !

Agility lessons are now available at my field in Medford !  Please see Training for details. 👍🏽

 

2018 Update

In January we relocated to Oregon.  A dream come true.  Packed my stuff and my dogs in my little car and we made the 35hr journey with smooth sailing.  The weather here is lovely and mild and the area is full of nature and amazing views.  We have a big yard with lots of land and the dogs have been enjoying lots of walks.

Mayhem and Zae are entered in a trial in Albany, OR this weekend. Zae is entered in both premier runs sat/sun too.  Lots of ring time !  Running in horse arenas will be a bit of a change for both dogs but longterm will be better.  More space and better footing. I am super excited and looking forward to spending time with dogs and friends for the weekend.

However, the dogs haven’t seen equipment in 8+ months. With getting the stars to align in order to move for some time I was not doing agility.  Not wanting to commit to entering a trial in one state when I was looking to leave to another. 🙂  And just taking a break and not taking the time to drive an hour each week to train dogs and worked instead.

So I took a day off and made the 3.5hr drive up to Salem and back just to train the dogs.  Had to make sure we didn’t forget everything.  🙂  The barn is absolutely amazing with great surface sad it is so far away.  Working with the dogs was really fun.  Time off is always golden and of course after a lengthy break we have some skills to repolish and I have to get back in sync with handling myself. 🙂  But love these dogs ❤️


Also, stay tuned for details on PyrWild classes coming to the Medford area ! And for everyone else not in Southern Oregon, I offer plenty of remote, online learning options and help. 🙂 See Training
