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/ 50 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 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2010/10/recovering-from-failures-and-successes/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2010/10/recovering-from-failures-and-successes/#comments Thu, 21 Oct 2010 04:09:24 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=5803 The last few weeks have been pretty action packed for my dogs and I. Some great thrills at the World Championships in Germany followed by some more awesome thrills at the USDAA Nationals in Kentucky. In between all of my highs I have shared with you all, some of my lows as well. I have [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2010/10/recovering-from-failures-and-successes/feed/ 16
