Today Bernadette & I attended a Susan Garrett seminar. Susan is a very inspirational speaker, humourous animation & entertaining analigies mean very interesting listening. It was a long day but well worth it. Arriving back home I set up my doggie crates ready for their reminder of some 'ruff love' & crate games.
Susan signed my copy of Shaping Success. Unfortunately we forgot to take any photos. Check out Susan's web site - http://www.clickerdogs.com/susangarrett.htm

Wot a UKA!
This weekend we went to Just Mini's UKA show - it wans't just mini's, but all jump heights. Chi performed very well gaining almost all of the points he needs to progress into the Champ class and join his sister Zen - who has just obtained her Win CAP. GRATZ!
Despite being in different classes we still managed an Obay Sheltie sweep by winning the Royal Canine agility heat - again:). Fortunately we did not prevent anyone else from qualifying.
We added some glass tumblers to our collection and a large bag of food for everyone to share, well not us humans ofcourse!
Roll on the Finals in June.

Ha - P Easter!
Over Easter we attended the Easter Celebration show at Ardingly. We went with the intention of having some fun and implimenting the techniques we have been honing in training. We came home with 3rd 8th & 5th which was very pleasing especially since this time last year we were no where near as successful.
Here are a couple of clips that our friends Tim & Marion captured for us and Granpa Dennis comitted to DVD for us to publish here for our pleasure to watch :)
WARNING!! DO NOT WEAR HEAD PHONES TO WATCH THIS!
Unfortunately I have not been able to remove the audio on these film clips - but you know it's quite nice hearing Zen, Billy, Grandma & friends cheer us on......
Check out the family footage on the Obay blog, with choice music to boot!

Chi's no April Fool!
Today was Downland a really enjoyable show especially since we had a lie in - 7:30am, arrived home in time for lunch and got to watch Pete van Dongan run Chi, very well! Here is the evidence of what a good job this 'on the day' team managed to produce.
Invaluable Training Methods
One of the most invaluable methods of training that Chi has undertaken to date is the studying of Greg Derrett's training video's. Here he is absorbing the details of how to acheive a good 'snake' manoeuvre.

O! *swoon, he is so handsome!
Just to show how handsome Chi really is.....not that I would be biased in anyway ofcourse! :)
And how agile............... no wonder he performs so well.

A gr8 run!
Not an agility run but Griz & Chi running up the gallops at the end of our road. Since Chi was a puppy Griz has played a fundamental part in his exercising. When he was small he couldn't keep up very well but as you can see he isn't that far behind these days. I am convinced that these lurcher exercising sessions have payed off with Chi having good stamina and being able to power off at great speed.
