Small Setback
For the most part this week Raven has been going well. We went to training on Tuesday night and she was jumping out of her skin so I put her over a simple novice jumping course a couple of times. She was starting to show her old self again and was barking at me too. …
Training
Here's a couple of courses I've come up with in the last week or so.With the one above I was aiming for challenges in obstacle discrimination (Tunnel/Dogwalk), difficult angle broad jump, and also wanting to work Raven's weakness in collecting, rounding over a jump whilst I'm doing a front cross very close to an upright …
Greg Derrett Chapter 5…The Conclusion
So this is the final chapter in my Greg Derrett Seminar series. It will finish off the Friday night seminar that concluded with Weaving and weave training and go into a run down of what we did at the final seminar on Saturday morning. The weave poles had been set up as usual. First let …
Cool website
After rereading my post about Greg's thoughts on contacts I went and looked up Silvia Trkman's site again.

Below is the sequence; (Again don't forget that all these diagrams below can be enlarged by clicking on them) If you …
Wednesday Night Training
Keeping in mind most of our heads were swimming with the Greg Derrett seminar yet still needing to do some skills work for the upcoming major event of the Western Classic I pulled this course straight out of the top of my (some say *evil* but they're just jealous *g*) head. I wanted to work …
Greg Derrett Chapter 2
The first seminar was held on Thursday and it ran for 5 hours and was for the dogs about to start trialling or in their first 12 months of trialling. The first drill and many subsequent drills he put up for us were from the double box work Greg is so well known for. Greg …
Greg Derrett…Chapter 1
We’ve had the benefit of the teachings of Greg Derrett here this past weekend and it has certainly been an eye opener for many of us. To be honest I was surprised more Perth agility people did not take advantage of the unlimited auditing. Everyone has their own ideas I suppose. Anyway the four seminars …
