Another after another.

How many times do you feel like giving up, but still holding on, staying strong? I'm so tired of hearing family members or others saying Bad dog. or family members would say "She's just a mongrel. Don't waste so much effort on a dog like this." Mum would say after the trial " She's just dumb, she couldn't do anything. I think she should stop training." Sisters would say " Noob dog, stupid dog." Before the trial, I told myself It's ok if she dosen't do well. It's alright. I told myself not to cry. That day I went home at night, I took her for a walk alone to the park. I unleashed her collar and let her ran. I myself, took off my slippers and ran the basketball court bare footed. I ran and kept running. Till my feet was finally hurting, I cried. I sat on the floor and cried, till my best friend came. She licked my face and just stared at me wondering what was wrong. I kept telling her it's ok, it's ok. but I wasn't.then I cried even more. That night, I cried to bed. After the next day, I kept asking myself "Why is other dogs getting better and better. and mine? Nothing changes.but gets better to worse?" I remember running the course for the first time with her. We got over time, I didn't called her or anything. I was nervous, I didn't dared to run. I was afraid. Then after that, I put her inside the crate. People came around asking me to talk to her, talk to her. you have to talk to her. I got even more nervous. The second round, she got better at first.I was still Really scare but I was talking to her. I thought she got better cos She was jumping and going in the tunnel smoothly, then we've to missed the tyre cos she was cared of it. Then we through in another tunnel and she didn't want to jump anymore She was trying to escape I kept calling her and she got over she look around and then I still kept calling her till she ran back to her crate. Then I looked at mr.chan and i took the leash, I saw the timer it says 42.56? and walk out the ring. I was completely disappointed then I feel like nothing but a failure.When I was leaving I saw the results on the board.. Others think it's just a waste of time. But can't they see it? I'm trying to fix things, I'm trying to help this dog.I love this dog with all my heart, I didn't cared how horrible she is. I'm trying to fix it. But why? Why another after another, it has to get better to worse. I'm trying really hard.. I'm trying to prove others wrong about her. but was I wrong now ? It frustrates how she could ignore other dogs in training and just listen to me or just do amazing at home but jumping in straight line in a trial is too much for her.I tried, I ignore what people said. I fell, but i got back up and I didn't give up.I really want to fix things, but I just don't know how to anymore.

Day 2.

More jump drills! We added a bar.We did a little stay and come, not much obedience today.But jump drills are definitely looking good! And now for some great stuffs! We finally bought the Pvc cutter after pleasing the parents for ages!!Finally! we got it!  :) we will build more jumps soon! Here's a video.

Day One.

There is a video below to watch what we're working on today. I might be posting videos everyday,so you guys could watch what we're working on daily. The videos are being posted on youtube, but you only could watch when you've the link. So if you search it on my channel, there will probably won't be any videos that I posted over here :) Just thought you guys might wanna know this.

Day 1- Today, we work on sit stays and when being called we added another down stay on it. So you might see  why I released her and command her to hold, and then a down in the middle. We'll be working wraps and turns by using Silvia Trkman's  cik&cap method. I haven't come up with names for the right and left turns yet, so I was just saying "right" and "left" in the video.

Unsure.

Hey there. Is happy's human here, I will be taking over Happy's blog for a while from now. Just this morning, hap went for her usual training at bricks field .As all of you know, she runs off least once or twice in the training grounds.Today, she was really misbehaving, she ran off whenever she has the chance. At first, I thought it wasn't a really big deal since she was just running off out the field to chase cats in the car park. I had been thinking a lot today, then I realised it Has to be a serious problem and it needs to be corrected before it gets worse. She dosen't wants to come when being pulled, she's a really stubborn dog. I have to carry her every time she does that. On that point, it was a really terrible mistake. When time passes by, she will learn that if she dosen't want to walk, my human will carry me there, and so it will gets worse. I'm not sure she really likes agility anymore, or she's just doing it for my sake. She really Wasn't focusing today, it's really disappointing somehow.I wonder if I'm pushing too much? I don't know anymore, but we'll try anything that's possible to fix it.Furthermore, we're really having high chances on entering her very first trial at an event called Pet World 2010, is being held every year. We might be entering basic jumpers class, which we're allow to be on lead and bringing treats and toys into the ring, which is mainly why I wanted to give it a try for her, since they allow food in the ring.There will only be jumps, tunnels, spread jumps, long jumps and tyre jumps, in that course. But after what happened today, I'm really not sure if I should enter her in anymore. It's a difficult decision. Other than that, we should Really work on our OB, it's extremely bad =P. And so that, we will spend least 10 or 15 minutes to pratice our sit and down stays and comes. We are mainly focusing on stays and come because that should help by when she runs off and I could have a slight chance of having her stay and come back to me. Least, doing it for 3 times per day. As for Agility, it's all about fun. We will set up all kinds of jump and tunnels sequences courses at home and the open field. And I will also work on some jump drills.To know more bout jump drills, click on it :). I think that's all for now, i'll be updating on how all the training seasons at home goes! All these running off and misbehaving out the house is really too much.We need to get it fixed, before everything's too late. Happy won't have her blog back till her human says OK! Hope all the effort is worth it!

Before I end this post, a big shout out to Eva! She did amazing at her graduation test today! She passed her test with flying colours by scoring an 94/100! A really well done job for a 6 months old puppy! Her humans sure put a lot of pratice and effort on it! She make us all proud! The future is looking bright for this puppy :) Well done again!

Signing off,
Jiayee.

New Moon Fanatic. Grr-eat.

This is just grr-eat. Guess who pop onto the front gate on wednesday? Buddy's owner! If you don't know whose Buddy, well he's a handsome husky and my cousin (: Anyway, back to where I was about to say. Also, she pop into our front gate and then here comes the human taking in a plastic bag. The moment she open it, all I know she was screaming and jumping up and down all excited like she there was a brown border collie in it. Later on, all I know was what.. what... was it? Oh it's just .. a New moon dvd and a really huge poster. Ohh I'm sure she's mad, somebody call the mental problem hospital and send her in there please.By the way, do check out my awesome pond,I extended it and bought another 4 fishes to keep another 4 accompany! They're pretty aren't they? all different colours! You can feed them but Only with fish food (: [Translate it, if you wanna know the meaning of the title I put for my pond] And then, she make me take photos with that scary huge poster! so here it goes..

I'm Not a new moon fanatic At all.

I wasn't looking at Taylor Lautner honestly. I was looking at that poor wolf

Hey wolf, poor you getting stuck inside the poster!

This is just horrible! How many more photos do you need!

OHHH look a bird! 

Trying to put my beautiful paw prints on it..

OOHH I thought it was a mat. Oh nvm!

[sceretly attempting to squash it. ooh i forgotten it's flat.]

I hope she donsen't ask me to accompany her to watch the dvds.Oh Hope not.If she does, I let you all know by howling! Keep your ears clean hounds and make sure you send a few wolves or vampires to save me. 

By the way, I heard FIFA World Cup 2010 had already started on Africa? I'm not really sure whats so nice about it, I'm no biggie fan but I do like to chase footballs! I thought the photo above was kinda Lame, the human edited it. Lame much! ..Humans..

Bark bark bark,

Happy.

A day to tell.

OHHHH.. IT'S GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT to be BACK to be blogging again! Finally, exams are over for the human. So we could get back on the computer again and again and again. We have so many due posts! But since the human is extremely lazy to post all the photos. There will only be photos of Sunday! it was such a paw-tas-tic day! till i ran off.. and i get tied up with some other dogs. It was certainly NOT nice at all for the human to do that to me. I meant what did I do wrong? I just ran off and she just chased me across the field, I mean I let you do some running on every sunday! and you don't even appreciate it and tied me up!Still, me and Eva was forced to do stays with the evil human. She thinks she can handle two dogs at one time, with a stick and sausages. yea rightt.. we will Never listen to her....

  

Later,

OHH SAUSAGE! she gave us the "you better not run off" look. So both of us will extremely scared she might not give us the sausage and stick so we stayed obediently.

sausage hunting.

When I was being tied up, the humans had been training, taking photos, videos of eva. and I was barking like a mad dog at the background. btw, she got it on tape. so you might hear a sweet sound of dog barking that must be me :) [-coughs-more like mad dog]

I have to admit she really has a glossy coat, but hey.. my coat are white too and they do looks glossy under the sun sometimes.

Back at home,I found something really interesting on the plant to play with during my walk. So I brought it back to my bed. 

~ohh caught in action!-

I didn't want the human to know, or she might take it away. so I quickly post a smile for the camera.

UH OH.. here she comes! 

.No time to hide! i'll just post for the camera and act like nothing and hopefully she wouldn't realised the tiny green ball. SAY CHEESE!

And did I told you I got this new toy. I think I'll name it the akc toy. Since it wrote AKC on it, it stands for American Kennel Club. I wonder why can't it be HKC?

Happy Kennel Club? I just don't understand. Oh wells, the human LOVES this toy like more than I do.Sometimes, I even have to growl at her tells her thats MY toy NOT hers. 

She says I only can play with it when it's training time and other time she'll keep it inside the house. I wonder if she sleeps with it on her bed? since she love that toy so much? I mean who knows? Is in the house and I'm not always inside the house

This really freak me out a while! it's float...ing!

Nowadays, I barely get to go inside the house when human mum's home.She says I shed too much, and no matter how hard I try I just COULDN'T get in the house. Not even opening the door works, I think it's locked. Last time they used to forget to lock the pad locks and I get to open it and sneak in.. I missed those

days.

.

Not even putting the puppy look helps too..

Even when I got inside the house, I couldn't have a good sleep. All thanks to my human. I don't like her when she reading those novels and story books she bought. she reads them and start laughing out of all sudden. I thinks she's a mad human being.

Would you be just shut up and read your damn book Quietly? I'm trying to sleep here!

Seriously, One more time I hear you laughing. I'm gonna rip this book off when you're asleep! 

and I think the human is stupid to sleep with MY TOY. But least, i have other 3 to sleep with. there's Mr.ducky, Mr.sg burger[ the human got it from singapore so i just named it sg burger] and fart toy [he squeaks sounds like fart so i named him fart toy.]

and here's the video! take note the beautiful [mad] barking dog at the background!

Till the next post,

Happy.
