Don’t fear – I’m nice!


I haven’t written on my weblog in lots of months.  What came about?!

All is definitely! I ended working daily operations at FDSA, and that freed up time to do what I’m severely captivated with – training.  Loose training, for probably the most phase, as a result of I spend an overly prime proportion of my day on Social Media; Instagram, Fb and TikTok.  I attempt to publish instructional content material of quite a lot of types; conduct, canine sports activities pageant talents, getting at the side of other people, and so on…just about day-to-day. And because doing that is extraordinarily pleasurable for me, it takes up relatively a large number of time. Which is ok – I’m glad!

Therefore, my weblog has suffered overlook.  It’s simple for me to snatch a handy guide a rough clip out of a coaching consultation, provide an explanation for what I’m doing or why I do it a particular means, after which throw it up on IG or FB.  I will be able to additionally do random Are living occasions at the quite a lot of platforms to keep in touch no matter random ideas are floating round in my head on the time.

With my weblog, I take a look at more difficult to write down intelligently, proofread (k, nonetheless no longer my power), and prepare my ideas right into a extra complete bundle.  That takes simply sufficient effort that I’ve been neglecting it.  I promise I’m going to check out and beef up!

So about canine and canine coaching.  Let’s catch up a little bit.

I despatched Cube again to his breeder a number of months in the past.  Up to I attempted to make it paintings, his temperament was once no longer suitable for my state of affairs. I are living in a circle of relatives with a number of other folks and I’ve an energetic family.  Whilst I used to be keen to paintings along with his dog-reactive conduct in public (which was once bettering!), I in spite of everything got here to acknowledge that the total bundle – no longer simply his conduct in public, was once neither a protected nor relaxing have compatibility for my circle of relatives.  Whilst control is at all times an possibility, control failure is the norm, no longer the exception, and I may just no longer settle for that chance.   As a result of his breeder felt that he may well be rehomed to a state of affairs the place his temperament would no longer be an issue, I agreed.  He’s these days in coaching for IGP and is doing smartly within the game.

At round the similar time, a pal had a muddle and had further pups that had no longer been positioned but.  I presented to foster a pet and provides it a canine sports activities basis.  That pet, Xen, is now 8 months outdated.  I determined to stay him and he’s now my canine.  And whilst he’s a somewhat conventional strong-willed male from operating traces, we’re discovering our means and hope to have a powerful and aggressive long term when the time is correct. In a long term weblog, I’ll speak about him a little bit extra – how I signify his temperament, and what that implies for his long term as a canine sports activities prospect.

Lyra is now virtually 11 years of age and as captivating and good-natured as ever.  Brito is 9 years outdated and is an ordinary terrier – hasn’t bogged down one iota.

Because of COVID I haven’t traveled in a few years, and in truth, I don’t omit it.  Once I do resume trip, I believe it is going to be an especially restricted affair.  I do omit seeing my buddies across the nation regardless that.

FDSA is within the procedure of having a sparkly new web site, which helps to keep me busy on that finish.  Search for it across the finish of the yr. We’re additionally about to introduce our first “unmarried day” meetings, so you’ll be able to be informed a complete lot about something – in an afternoon!  The primary one is arising in Would possibly, and the topic will likely be nosework.  Be told extra right here:  FDSA Nosework Convention – On-line!

Anyway…that’s about it for now!  I am hoping to be again to writing right here no less than semi-regularly.   Right here’s a photograph of Child Xen, recent from his tub:
