Loving Leads Agility

Good morning all. As you all know I have been fretting about the winter with my main field being badly damaged by the drought.

I also predict that we are in for a very wet winter after such a lovely long summer.

So I am delighted to inform you all that I have secured an indoor venue in Market Drayton.

I will be contacting each of you individually.

We have secured two nights a week which are Tuesday and Thursday. Because we have to pay for it up front for a 6 week period I will be asking the same of you. The fee will be £ 20.00 per hour.

How it will work is Tuesday class arrive at 6pm and put up the course, then we will have an hours lesson. The second class on a Tuesday will arrive at 1930 )or 730pm in old money) and we will start straight away finishing at 2030 (830pm) and then we will have to pack the equipment away. We will need to leave the premises by 2100 (9pm). The same for Thursday evening. The first class of 6 dogs starting at 6pm will swop over in 6 weeks time with the second class so that everyone gets a chance for the early shift or the late shift. Look out for a text from me soon.

I will put the address details in your texts.

Well it's over. The Championships have finished for another year. GB had some amazing result. Well done team GB and of course Max Glover.

Now that we are more relaxed it's a good time to think about our dogs. This was a recent recommendation from a client of our own Kerry Owen. Well done Kerry.

Note from a client :
I have seen many canine specialists over the years and I can genuinely give my full support and recommendation to Kerry for anyone who is looking to get their dog checked. She has a natural ability with dogs and can work with even the most tense or nervous ones. The treatment itself is VERY thorough and you can be assured that anything no matter how small is going to be found and worked on. Her knowledge is excellent and you are kept informed with what has happened and a plan for things you can do to improve or work on imbalances or weaknesses.

This is something to be aware of. Never seen it on a jump before but have seen it on plenty of tunnels where the number is placed in the middle of the tunnel. What this.means is you can take the obstacle from either direction. Same with the tunnel it means you can go in either side

Okay this is a whole new level of weirdness. I haven't seen 6 weaves.for quite a while. This show has thrown up a few courses with 6 weaves but this course takes the biscuit..obstacle 2.. 6 weaves. Obstacle 4 jump right in front of 2 and obstacle 3..6 weaves off to the left. Be interesting to see how many get round..
