Student shoutout!

How awesome is this, R dressed up as me for school- complete with the trademark crocs and lots of bracelets!

She’s a total mini-me, she does agility and tricks with her pup and is accumulating a nice little collection of rosettes, winning our last steeplechase competition with a lovely clear round 🥇

Everything she does reminds me of what I was like as a kid, the only difference is she’s a far more skilled handler than I was at her age- the adults better watch their backs! ✨

Willow is nearing her due date, thankfully she has Bramble to take care of her 💜💙

I feel very lucky to have a household of very different dogs who all care so deeply for each other, they’re not related by blood, but they’re all sisters.

“He’d be alright if he had a good handler”…

So that’s what we’re doing!

Brian has been doing agility for a long time, but he’s by far one of the trickiest dogs I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Simply because he’s so wild and over excited all the time!

Not long ago, he was just screaming at his dad, running around obstacles, had no distance work, no stay, no commitment and his dad often went over the jumps with him 😂

And let’s just say, his dad was as chaotic as he was (I’m sure he won’t mind me saying!) and most classes had him on the floor at least once.

We’ve been working so hard on focus, distance, stays and handling, and they look like a totally different team!

Such impressive work, I can’t wait to see them continue to improve ✨

Feeling very lucky to have such lovely students & friends!

Special shout out to:

Lucy, Hammonds Hounds & Hooves - Dog Training & Behaviour and Anna Murawski Photography for dog-sitting, stealing & training and photographing my dogs this week. Plus everyone who has bought me snacks, of course!

Just the loveliest community of people! 😍

A stressful week with very little sleep has resulted in a very grouchy Jodie, however food gifts make everything better (hint hint)

Delicious scone offering yesterday, even if the jam & cream were the wrong way round 😉♥️

What an amazing weekend!

We had the biggest ever Crazelpup turnout at a KC agility show, with eight dogs (plus my own three) competing!

Some take aways were:
🥇Harloh getting her first KC clear and WIN!
🥇Bramble winning and doing her retiring run
🥇Primrose winning the IFCS qualifier agility
🥈Elsie the boxer getting her first KC clear!
🥈Violet coming a very close 2nd in her agility
🥉Otto coming a clear 3rd in combined 1-4 agility, the highest placed G1 dog
⭐️Loki the collie doing his first KC show in 8ish years
⭐️Winnie, Lily and Finners making me so proud to watch! (I don’t think I’ve missed anyone out!)
✅Two of our young dogs got their first measure and one dog measured down a height on their second!

I couldn’t stop smiling all weekend, having a group of people supporting, queueing for others, giving each other pep-talks, cheering and being there at the end of the run to celebrate the good bits is so valuable. I felt very very proud, and despite withdrawing from most of my own runs, it’s been one of my favourite shows of the year seeing everyone do so well ♥️

Prim was amazing today winning her IFCS team GB agility run! Unfortunately we’ve not done enough of them to qualify for the semis but I’m just in awe of her for beating some seriously amazing high-grade dogs today!

Shes turning into a very impressive dog when her head stays screwed on. Especially since I never thought we’d even get in the ring when I adopted her, to now be considering trying out for international competitions with her is crazy.

Onwards pup! Maybe I’ll enter her in more next year after all 💛

New toy!

Willow is 6 weeks pregnant and is struggling with focussing for more than 5 minutes at a times, so a very short training session today, but she did so well for her first ever try 💙

Stupid tricks that have real-world applications: pregnancy edition!

These tricks make checking her over so much easier and I don’t have to force her to do anything she doesn’t want to 💙

Willow has her 33 day scan tomorrow, what do we reckon?

She tried to jump out of two windows today at physio, so it’s great to know she’s taking care of herself 😂
