AUSSIE’S DOING MORE IN 2024
We will be doing more training with our pups in 2024. The goals are to pick one new skill to work on either learning or improving each week. Showing videos of our progress, setbacks and final results each week. At the end of each month, we will attempt to do a “routine” based on the things we have done so far. We hope this will help us stay on track with our fundamentals and progress

Devyn Backyard Training 8-7-23
Devyn had her turn working the serps and threadles in the backyard today as well. She worked very well and tries to please me every run. Her threadle was much better than I expected. She knocked a couple of bars but that does not really concern me at all with her. I am much more concerned with her focus on my directions and her willingness to try and desire to please. I look forward to

MeiLi Backyard Training August 7, 2023
Today we got back to doing a little backyard training as I prepared to launch the new Facebook CPE Agility and SpeedWay skills page. This page will be a win-win for us as it will force me to train my girl on a more regular basis here at home. She loves to work and cuddled all evening after her few minutes of work. The focus of our training today was working on a Serpentine staying

Devyn Class 8-1-23
Today was all about showing up. I have a bum knee and really did not “feel” like going to class. But both pups look forward to their training time with Dad and I knew that there were skills that I really needed to work on that could be done without much movement. Besides you never know when you might get to a big event and have something limit your ability to run. The warm-up run

Devyn Class 7-25-23
Miss Devyn continues to grow in confidence and as a partner in our classes. She is really enjoying getting to hang out in her crate and watch the other dogs working while we wait for our class. I was able to sit and get some work done on my iPad while she relaxed quietly. Every once in a while, I would get her out for a quick trick session or hanging out with me. Once

MEILI CLASS 7-25-23
Today MeiLi was a bit unfocused at class. She did do an amazing job on her wraps from the Aframe to the tunnel on both runs that we did that course. Her start line and focus on the start of the runs continues to be an issue. Perhaps part of the issue is on my part of not giving every command needed and assuming she is going to do what I expect. we will need

DEVYN CLASS 7-18-23
Today Devyn had another great day at class. She is getting very comfortable in the building waiting for her class and has much more confidence running in the ring. I am able to maneuver around the building and into the ring as needed without her reacting to anything. She still has a little to say when headed toward the crowd in the middle of the run but as you will see she did get over

MEILI CLASS 7-18-23 SENIOR LEAGUE COURSE
Today we got to play with the senior league course from the past week. MeiLi had another strong class. She even handler the rear cross weaves very well. Just a bobble at the end. If this was a real run, I would have handled the ending very differently. I messed up on recording her one other run. Today several of the students had issues so we got less turns in this class.

MEILI & KRISTEN LEAGUE JULY 15, 2023, RUN 2
This is their second run together on this course. MeiLi is a much faster dog than Kristen is used to running but man she is getting good at it. I know that when I am away, they will be able to enter and succeed at trials without me. I look forward to seeing many more videos.

MEILI & KRISTEN LEAGUE JULY 15, 2023 PRACTICE RUN 1
While I was away on Long Island judging CPE for the Dog Club of Long Island the girls were home playing league. These two are really starting to work as a team as long as I am not nearby. MeiLi really likes the game and is becoming more and more focus with each run.

DEVYN DOES CLASS WITH DARRYL JULY 11, 2023
We decided Devyn needed to be exposed to some more distractions by doing a group class. The private lessons Kristen has been doing are great, but she still needs to learn that self-control and confidence around others. This was the second week of this class. I did not video the first week as I really wanted to remain focused on Devyn. It is a very nice set up as there is a class between MeiLi’s

MEILI ONGOING CLASS TRAINING JULY 11, 2023
Today MeiLi had another solid class with Betsi Hartman. She continues to grow as a teammate and overcome her other mental focus issues. This week we got three runs. One was working on a Serpentine, followed by a threadle back to the beginning and then a sprint around the world and back to the front of the ring. The real course was a play of off the Senior league course from last week. It did
