This one a bit different in that it was right here in North America. Unfortunately for me, a week before the event, I threw my back out and was unsure if I would even be able to compete! I missed both days of our team practice [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2012/05/ifcs-2012-weekend-recap/feed/ 33 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/06/getting-close/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/06/getting-close/#comments Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:35:06 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=7095 Okay today is the day. My first ever no charge live webinar. I know we are just about at capacity in the 8:30 pm call so if you are interested in hearing about the Say Yes foundation program please don’t sit on this because I will not be making this webinar available for public viewing [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/06/getting-close/feed/ 22 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/05/taking-direction-from-the-dalai-lama/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/05/taking-direction-from-the-dalai-lama/#comments Thu, 26 May 2011 00:19:42 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=6757 It was the Dalia Lama that suggested “When you lose don’t lose the lesson.” So with every disappointment I am faced with in my life I search for a lesson. Some are more obvious then others but I find they are always there. In today’s video I will share with you some of my more [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/05/taking-direction-from-the-dalai-lama/feed/ 61 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/05/feature-at-the-world-agility-open-championships/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/05/feature-at-the-world-agility-open-championships/#comments Tue, 24 May 2011 12:36:54 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=6744 Today I will go over some of my  rounds at the WAO. Sadly for Encore all of my clean runs were with Feature — that is no reflection on Encore whatsoever! The first run for Feature was Individual agility — the first run in the pentathlon. I was conservative and got caught behind going to [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/05/feature-at-the-world-agility-open-championships/feed/ 32 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/05/world-agility-open-in-the-uk/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/05/world-agility-open-in-the-uk/#comments Mon, 23 May 2011 10:52:42 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=6735 Well a week has past since our return from WAO  in Britain but we jumped right into 6 days with Susan Salo (pardon my little pun). More on SS later. First I thought I would comment on WAO. I thought it was a well run event with absolutely fab courses from the judges. Challenging yet [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/05/world-agility-open-in-the-uk/feed/ 14 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/03/swaggers-early-education/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/03/swaggers-early-education/#comments Sun, 06 Mar 2011 18:51:36 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=6373 This is a video I posted to my FaceBook page a couple of days ago. It shows Swagger with his new toy (which is a great confidence building toy for puppies). At the end it shows how I start my puppy’s jump training.   Swagger turns 5 weeks old today, hard to believe really!   [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/03/swaggers-early-education/feed/ 25 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/02/socializing-the-singleton-puppy-a-swaggers-big-adventures/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/02/socializing-the-singleton-puppy-a-swaggers-big-adventures/#comments Mon, 28 Feb 2011 03:10:14 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=6341 I think I have neglected you blog readers a bit by posting a lot of my updates about Swagger on my new Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/SusanGarrettDogAgility). So today I am going overboard, with this mega- blog post. And yes, I promised to get back to our talk on NRM this week:). As you can see in [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/02/socializing-the-singleton-puppy-a-swaggers-big-adventures/feed/ 52 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/02/swagger-turns-three-weeks-old/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/02/swagger-turns-three-weeks-old/#comments Mon, 21 Feb 2011 12:56:08 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=6328 Great conversation about non reward punishers over the past week or so. More on that later. For those of you not on facebook I thought I would post a few new pictures and videos of Feature’s little boy “Swagger.”  He turned three weeks old yesterday and is a whopping five lbs! He is totally living [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/02/swagger-turns-three-weeks-old/feed/ 15 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/02/puppy-preocuppiedatiousness/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/02/puppy-preocuppiedatiousness/#comments Wed, 16 Feb 2011 05:04:24 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=6288 Feature’s puppy has taken over my life. I just can’t get any work done he is sooo darn cute, I can just sit and watch him all day long . . . and I do! He is no longer going by his puppy name of “Sid the Kid.” As cute as it was, he grew [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/02/puppy-preocuppiedatiousness/feed/ 26 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/01/january-in-canada/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/01/january-in-canada/#comments Wed, 12 Jan 2011 19:11:06 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=6029 I hope all of you have had a great start to your new year. As you may have noticed I have been hibernating up here in Canada. Truthfully I haven’t been doing much except spending time with John and my dogs. This is the first January in 13 years that John and I are not [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/01/january-in-canada/feed/ 20
