Final Farewell @ Jump Start Agility

The time has come for me to say a final goodbye! 😢
I would like to thank the many customers who have trained with me @ Jump Start Agility since I opened for business in 2016. Your loyal support has been much appreciated over the years. It has been a real pleasure to have shared my love for dog agility whilst having fun training together. So many of you have become my good friends. I will miss you all. 🐾🐾
Thank you again for the past eight fun-filled years! 😊

All good things must come to an end! 😥😥
As my training field has recently been sold, I have decided to retire from teaching agility & hoopers at the end of this month. Sadly, this will be the very last video that I post of me training my dogs @ Jump Start Agility.
I haven't told Baja that I'm retiring yet! Think he is really going to miss training together at the field. It has certainly been our "Happy Place" over the years. But it's time to move on & discover pastures new. Hoopers will remain our favourite pastime 😍, whenever we get the opportunity to practice!

Agility Training with Remy - Easter 2023 🐣🐥🌞
Enjoyed a warm & sunny Easter Sunday having some agility fun with Remy. We haven't been able to train on full courses very often this year, as the ground has been so wet! Feeling very pleased with my little spaniel. 🥰

Thankfully we had a few days of glorious sunshine over the Easter weekend. The weather has been so wet this winter! The ground has been very waterlogged at times & lessons have needed to be cancelled!!! But finally Spring is here. 🐣🐥🌷🌞
It was worth getting my camera out of hibernation to record the event! Baja & I enjoyed some hoopers fun in the sun at long last!

Sending warmest wishes to all my lovely Jump Start Agility friends.
This year has definitely had its challenges, its ups and downs, with happy & sad times thrown in for good measure! But I am still here and still enjoying having fun with my dogs. Thank you for your continued support through an extremely difficult year!
Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you all. Hope to see you again in January (weather permitting!) for more fun agility & hoopers.

This is such great advice! ❤️

How do you advocate for your dog?

A dog can need space. A dog can not want to be touched.

Speaking up for our dog is a HUGE, underestimated part of being a pet guardian.

Despite this, speaking up and advocating for our dogs is incredibly hard and often goes against our natural desires.

It is ok to not want conflict, to worry about hurting a persons feelings and to make up a reason as to why you need your dog not to do something or their space to be respected.

You do not need to provide a reason to anyone when you advocate for your dog.

Be firm, be consistent and be strong.

Although your dog can not say, they do appriciate you being their advocate.

This says it all!
I just love teaching agility to complete beginners...and seeing the joy it brings to both dogs & humans. 🥰

Hoopers Training with Remy 🐾🐾
Remy is starting to gain confidence with me handling him at greater distances. So pleased with his Start Lines! 🥰
