It’s wild how the summer gets away from us dog lovers. Before you know it, here it is November! It actually snowed here yesterday! It has been a while since I have posted to my blog...and it’s not because I haven’t had a lot to [...]
The Games Championship is comprised of two Games: Snooker and Gamblers. If you are really keen to learn more about each game, there is a briefing written up on the WAO home page. Snooker is a game that most people who are new to agility [...]
I just got home from my participating in my second WAO (World Agility Open) event held in Oviedo, Spain. Some consider this one of the four "world championship" type agility events; FCI in October, European Open in July, WAO in May and IFCS held every [...]
"If you aren't learning you are dying" I am sure I have seen that quote somewhere before but for the life of me, I can't find it who gets the credit for it. I do love the quote, each of use has to make a [...]
Well another IFCS World Championships has come and gone. 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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
