The adventures of a lurcher in the Scottish capital


Some agility courses

On Sunday we ran variations of this course. This was the easy-peasy version, the more advanced folk were doing more complex things with jumps 3-5, running round the back of the tunnel ... I think the layout was based on course from a show the previous day. Jake and I were working on turns and me being in the right place at the right time. Always so easy on the third attempt - ha!



Meanwhile I have a pile of entry forms to complete, and am engaged in displacement activity by poring over examples of course layouts on Mia Laamanen's site. All inspired by reading about the Silvia Trkman seminar on Johann and Snoutbeagle's blogs.

    13 to 14 looks pretty far.. my BC would have a bit of a problem with it. Unless I handled it right!

    Yes, that was the challenge ... what worked for me was to turn while J took 13 so I ran alongside him (him on my left) towards 14. There will be a better way to express that in technical agility language, I'm sure. :-)

Pic of Jake with insane toothy grin

Jake is a black & tan lurcher, adopted from Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home in August 2004. He now lives the life of Riley in a leafy suburb of Edinburgh. His interests include agility, running like the wind, enticing other dogs to chase him, fellow sighthounds Molly & Steve, squirrels, swans, plush swans, swans on telly, Portobello beach, the Edinburgh hills, sofas, & snoozing. 

Jake wears Earth Dog hemp collars from Mango Mutt. His collar tag (compliant with KC agility regs) is from the excellent Indigo Collar Tags.
