Today.

Guess who came home right after school and got dead on the coach for the rest of the day and left me no walks and no toys in the crate? That's right, somebody caught up a virus and this is a good chance for the human parents to lock me up without starting a fight.

In other hand, it also means that staying away from the clicker awhile and start lying on the bed with a book for her or either, lying on bed with the laptop watching agility videos. At second thought, she's not really made of metal after all.

Weird enough to causing the lack of sleep.

Wondering what the pawesome white mutt had been up to lately? Wonder no more!

Weird things had been happening around lately.

Here's me freezing the lion with my super powers.

I spent too much time with my toys instead of the food.

Guess where I found my enemy the other day? I knew she had been hiding away from me.The human is acting rather weird these days.Sometimes out of a sudden, she thought of weird games for us to play with.

see what I mean?

Well, this is called the act-like-you-are-a-K9-game.

See me drooling over in that photo?

You get to bite the human's arm.. wrapped in a towel*

Just so you know, I always wins the game. the human is just ohhhh so weak..

Did I also mentioned that she had been waking up way too early Every day? Well she is, I just need her to know that the school is really nearby that I don't think that's a need to wake up that early in the morning. Also weekends, is probably saturdays I get to sleep in.. till she decides that I'm over weight. time for more long walks. awesomeness? Then if you wonder why I had been running away a lot more lately in training, is probably because I want to go home.. [to be honest, there's a cat in the car park.] and continue my sleep. Blame it all on the human/cat whichever reasons above that make sense to you, for all my misbehaving.

And and and .. this is how I actually looks like before and after sunday training. you just couldn't missed a single second of sleeping in the car.

I better get off the computer and continue my sleep before the she decides that I shouldn't even be napping during afternoons instead I should do more training and running with her. Sometimes, I wonder if she's really made of metal and never gets tired?

More to tell soon, 

The poor mutt,

" Well done, Happy. but maybe next time."

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.
