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.

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!

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..

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.

I dont think is nice to mention any name lor. But I think she's quite snobbish and the way she handle her dog is very irresponsible, Im trying to be friendly not to offend any ppl, but if I sound her tat day.. it would be very teruk. She even invite another auntie into the circuit and ask her and the dalmation try out.. wtf The instructor saw her, just ignore oni. Dont know why. After that the crowd just get bigger, seems like everybody is conducting their own class in the circuit. The most boring class I ever attended. So my wife told me that next time v should sound them, and I would this time.. no more Mr.Nice Guy.

V were at BU, but it was around 6pm.. so v didnt go..AHA.. if not we could have beaten Groovie Btw, Amanda, going to PAAPP? ASk mummy to sponsor and daddy to provice transport.. can make it a family trip also. Shadow is going for operation this weekend.. Please pray for Shadow.

No lah they scared the sun only.. Actually v feel like taking part in d 5.13 first, see how Shadow reacts to d different set of obstacles... honestly he's still new kids on d block. So I think its better for us to try out 1st.

V r looking forward to join the PPAAP, as spectators for this time. V still dont have much confidence yet. V will contact Groovemaster for further details.

Wah, v need tuition class liao.. how much u charge? Our Shadow currently resting coz just went for a successful small surgery. After tat some warm up is essential b4 going back to d circuit.. thanks for d encouragement Groovemaster, will ring u soon..

Oh sorry v were absent for last week's class because Shadow was having a minor operation. Recovering now.. So far didnt receive any info's yet. Will update u once we get the real deal.

Wah wut u 2 discussing about? So deep one? LOL.. Anyway Im more interested at the PPAAP then Olympic Day.. For me, if dun wana play dun play, play oredi must go to d max. Fawn, just to ask ur opinion, is silky terrier's good enuf to do agility? Or issit all dog is able to do it?

Correct Fawn, the drive is the 'thing'. I hope that v can continue to excel with Shadow.. and hopes to train another dog. Thanks for d advice again. Tomorrow Shadow is going to d vet again to check on his stitches.. hopefully he gets a clean bill n able to go class on Sunday.. Actually not Shadow tak sabar to go.. its d owners..

Cage tak main lah Amanda.. I dont know why I dont like cage them, barricade them will do.. but I think sometimes depends on d luck oso.. if get a dog with a good drive to play den ok lor.. else.. sakit hati.

Well if it benefits the dog, then caging is a good solution lor. Coz not all ppl can accept dogs..

This is all about dog psychology.. I am really curious how Shadow thinks and wuts boiling in his little brain..

No worries Shadow is here to save d day! Pacco fly fly away.. Pupppp..py power!

Alamak dashyatnya.. is not a bad idea but how come I didnt think of that? Pacco posing proudly to tell that she oredi conquered the 'weird' object.. 2 bad this 2 weeks my wife had been very busy and v didnt warm up Shadow with our flimsy wave poles.. dont know if he would even go near it on Sunday.. OOps.. I forgot I think it's a dog kennel?

What de.. scary worr.. but Pacco sure looks macho.. Shadow is hiding from the weaving poles again.. dun know why.. anyone can help..

What a shame.. I feel so shame.. What are these organizer trying to promote here? This is not really professional. As I told Fawn earlier, I rather bring my dog go walk walk then to join this lame events again. Imagine the whole family with 1 dog, each one enter 1 event, then if they win the points will be divided? If the family got 5 person then must own 5 dogs to become the Olympic Champion? What silly doggy politics they are up to..

Should i quit from the school? Duno leh.. was thinking after i shift hse might join Pet n u and get more exposure.. lately more n more ppl joining agi class. Big crowd small place..

Well v think of loaction n convenience lor.. I just want our dog to have a good time n some exercise only.. for Amanda..

Thank u so much Amanda.. PAcco was great.. v will be coming if v can make it .. will check with u if the trekking is on.. me n wife might be bz coz our new hse key is almost ready for handover.. got to check the hse out. V definitely had a great time at d class last sunday, except for the ugly introduction from Russell, hope it wont happen again.. otherwise is nice to be able to blend in.. xtra thanks for Fawn for the kind attention.
