Back October 2025!
Panache GB tryouts 2025
🏆🏆Panache Wins the EO individual qualifier day at GB tryouts!🏆🏆
After a great couple of qualifying rounds with the only error being to run past the finish jump 🤦🤦
Panache went on to show what he was made of and won the large qualification. Unfortunately he didn’t hit the MPS requirement so is unable to have the win on spot 😵
A huge thank you to our sponsors who have helped us massively in the build up:
Gus - Injury Mechanics Abbie fixed me up after a 5 hour ski lesson Tuesday they received a well needed flush yesterday.
Grace & Favour Clinical Canine Massage Therapy for giving Panache all the cuddles and occasionally getting a bit of massage in there 😅
Karma Fitness for making that blind super easy 😛
Natures Menu for fuelling my boy!
And to the team GB sponsors:

How would you like your first startline in the ring to look like this??
Our position change in the ring ensures the dog is in control and listening before we ask for any complicated agility behaviours. Because let’s face it a sit is one of the early behaviours most of us teach our dogs, so if we can’t do a sit how will we fare for the rest of the run??
Listen with sound to hear how busy the environment was behind her……
This is Fevers first show and she aced it!! Solid start lines all day and amazing forward focus. This little girl is just so exciting it’s unreal 🥰🥰🤛🤛
We are thinking of adding a seminar into our startlines course for nervous dogs! We usually do these live so you can ask questions about your dog, especially those spaniels that can be very quirky on the startline. Would this help you??
Our startlines course opens for sign ups this Sunday and all for less than the cost of a workshop!
How would you like to smile like this whilst leading out on course??
With Zest's last ever runs at Crufts all rounded up it’s a great time to reflect on what creates success? What creates a three time consecutive Crufts winner??
"Start as you mean to go on!"
If you start your run from a place of confidence, control and drive on course then the rest is far more likely to fall into place. However if you start a round from the dog breaking the startline you set the precedence for the dog to make more of their own choices.
- stopping on that see saw
- staying out of that tunnel
- finding the correct weave entry
If the dog makes the choice to take the first jump before you are ready what other self directed decisions may that lead to on course??
Think about all the wow runs you have seen, the ones that really make you have goosebumps and ask yourself.....how many of them came from an uncontrolled startline?
If you already know the secret sauce to your perfect startline then this post isn't for you! But if you want the feeling of starting a run as you mean to go on then keep an eye on this page!
Nicola's startline course will be opening again in 7 days time!!
Fever and Nicola will be at the Natures Menu stand in Hall 3 at 2pm. Head over they will be doing running contact mat demos and see saw 4 on foundations. As well as a Q&A don’t miss it!
Zest’s very last run at Crufts and she smashed another clear! What an amazing girly she is 😍😍
Unfortunately one place out from making the final but to finish in a double clear is fantastic!

Last walk walk in the woods before the big day 💚💚💚
Our Crufts countdown is well underway.
In this video you can see Nicola and Zest in July 2024 at weardale, where she won the (intermediate) Championship Final.
This secured her place for running at Crufts 2025. This is just one of the several ways to compete in agility at crufts across all heights.
Nicola and Zest are no strangers to the green carpet having competed there consistently together for the last 8 years.

Fevers First “show”
Fever had a busy Monday this week!
We went on a little trip to Dog Sports Derby for one of their Steeplechase mornings.
Here are her highlights from the day, Nicola’s goal for a first “show” are focus on the handler and not get distracted and a successful startline routine. Both of which were a big ✅
She was so brilliant on the day and displayed some distance work, tight tunnel turns and speed. Things for us to work on, poles after tunnels on loose turns, deceleration 😅😆 and jump targeting on the start line. Fever is just over 16 months and is growing up to be just a brilliant dog all round. Big thank you to Mandy Bainbridge for breeding this very talented little collie 🥰😍
Obviously afterwards she needed her R&R like the rockstar she is so we went to see Grace & Favour Clinical Canine Massage Therapy where she was perfect and had a nap whilst her sister was treated.
Fuelled by Natures Menu and thanks to Gus - Injury Mechanics and Karma Fitness this girl can turn to we are going to need to more agility from the human this time round 🤣🤣
Treadmill Tuesday!
Verdict and his rubber ducky today.
