hahaha.. no need already. She eats like nobody's business....tummy full like hell now.

Actually can set up weight pulling as well. Just need a cart n lotsa weights.

U still waiting 4 d timing ah, dat 1 so long ago. Another trainee, Junior, also didnt get her official time. Wat lah dese ppl. U still doing any agility with Taro?

Yarlah dats why try n promote dog sports, otherwise ppl tot dogs only know how 2 growl, bark, bite n jaga rumah, look cute n pee n poo everywhere. Who wants 2 gv us a dog park?

U brought Jo n Russ. Nice, how many dogs went lah? Last Sat, dun hv agility...dey must hv gone 4 F1. Sun was raining cats n dogs, so no agility again . Leg itchy now.

Sorry for my poor interpretation, I was referring to the 'warm up'! Coz new enviroment dont know Shadow can adapt or not.. We are trying to re-introduce Shadow to the weaving pole after a bad accident last week, now Shadow is kinda afraid lookin at the poles! Hopefully tomolo's class will bear fruit.

Oops, hope d poles didnt fall on him ...

hahah...last time pacco oso got knock b4...but tat's juz PVC...not d standard metal material...or else, really will get pengsan...

Yalor land on Shadow's back.. its the pole he is scared of.. and the sound..

Honestly if metal should be damn steady oredi lor.. its really my fault.. I should have know better. Anyway, last sunday Agi class was good and Shadow manage to conquer his fear! The problem is for the handler to maintain the speed with Shadow coz I would say his tiny n fast! Hopefully can see Groovie & Pacco at YMCA soon and get some 1st class hands on experience!

yea....our dogs speed like every round was their 'hot lap'.....is difficult for me to keep up wit her....

n during d k9 day, v join d agility game...pacco was so fast until she slid down from the pause table.....'brake pad' malfunction..

Bsides training ur dog 2 b proficient n pacy at d obstacles, another very important aspect of d sport is 2 train d handler 2 read d course n run it in d most efficient n smoothest manner possible. Only den will u hv any chance of keeping up with ur dog. Ur training school shld b able 2 teach u d moves if dey r for real.

Install ABS lor.. at least can pause on time.. I heard they minus marks or add minutes as penalty everytime the dog miss the obstacles or they do not do it the proper way, correct me if Im wrong.



I totally agree with you. I really appreciate Fawn for introducing me to JRT's and his advice to me all the time. THanks bro! Not to forget Amanda., hope to meet yea soon! Alrite back to the topic.. no offence to my current doggie skool.. a little money minded I would say! How do u expect to train a 9 month old Afghan Hound, 1 year old Pug and a Shi Tzu to play Agility, without first giving them OB? The problem is the lack of attention from instructors that makes the whole circuit like a big mess.. Last Sunday 15.04.07 was the worst training ever.. GR's and some mat salleh gal with a dalmation just goes in out of the circuit (which they did not pay for) and 3 big dogs just got stuck in the damn tunnel and rumble inside until it roll on the grass..! Is not that v r selfish.. 1 hour is quite short I would say.. ppl walking in out really distracts us.. and d instructors did nothing , maybe scared they will offend the ppl kwa... I just feel that there are too many students at one time .. chaos! Im not trying to say my dog is the best.. but surely 4 weeks he manage to overcome all d obstacles except the weaving poles off leash.. This is all due to my wife (Jennifer - Pflakes) kind attention and enthusiatic towards Shadow. I would not say that the instructor didnt do anything, but they just dont give enuff... sometimes I feel like I want to switch venue. Odie's owner has been complaining all this while.. think that she will change venue soon.. I'm thinking of enrolling for some extra classes (dancing etc.. ) from Pet N you.. Shadow really meant alot to us after all the hardship v have been through together.. so I think giving Shadow d best is not too much after all..

for me, if my dog really pay attention...1hour is more than enough, (but that won't b happening until d next decade)....but if u keep having short break n chit chat around, then obviously is rather tight...

tunnel rolling to d grass?!?! that must b funny....

since they had so many students, i think they shld actually separate d agility classes, to beginners n senior...

In a proper trial, a team will incur faults for missed, wrong or incomplete obstacle. Any obstacle not completed will mean elimination. In Msia n Spore, to keep things simple, dey just add 5 secs to ur course time for every fault incurred. In Western countries, dey look at the number of faults first b4 looking at d course time to determine d team standings.

Always willing 2 share tips with a fellow JRT owner or any dog 4 dat matter. Good 2 know dat Shadow is progressing well n am sure dat d weave poles will only b a matter of time.

Dogs n owners running in n out of d agility training ring is unavoidable, u know how Msians r ven dey wanna try something. It bcoms worse ven there r a lot of dogs at 1 place. In d end, wat matters is d quality of agility dogs dat come out from any school ie. dogs dat really cn perform on d field n trials. Just hv 2 look at d hit/miss ratio n u'll know wat I mean.

Yeah.. pay attention.. The problem is the instructor is nowhere to be found.. only to be seen in a minute or so.. Actually the tunnel incident is quite funny.. at the mean time dangerous coz the dogs inside the tunnel are actually struggling like mad and accidents could happen.

I would have to agree with you.. I would rather use the word annoying to describe those people. One of the students even brought her dog on heat.. so all the other male dogs are going crazy! She brought it there becoz she had to perform a short dance b4 the graduation ceremony. I hope to find a doggie school with a proper trainer, to start with.. so that v can excel in something me and my wife are keen at.

Open tunnel should b held/ pinned 2 d ground to prevent from rolling n moving bout for d dog's safety n dat cn only b done on a grass field.

Since u asked bout Silkies at agility, here's a clip of 1 at Petnu (Junior, 1 of d trainer's dog). He came 2nd at d recent Novice Agility trials. Watch him go!
