Fast n' Furry FUN!

Hey pups - sorry for the lack of blogging...it's been pretty busy around here - and we're not going to be doing as many posts as before. I'll be sure to give you updates of what I'm doing - and anything to do with HM's Pop Dog Press business.

This past weekend the Fast n' Furry team was at an open house for K-9 Country Inn doing some dog sport demos and some agility racing! We had a blast!! Enjoy the photos!

Here I am doing a novice Rally-O course

Getting ready for my race! We were timed on the course - jumps and tunnels only

Finishing up the agility course

No News is Good News!

Just wanted to let you all know - I'm still here - just taking a bit of a blogging break. No news is good news. HM is super busy at work - we're back training with agility and she's taking vacation in early March too! So, I'll be at HG's (Human Gramma) that week for some super spoiling! Arooooo!

I'm doing a demo this Saturday with my Fast n' Furry dog sport demo team - so hopefully we'll get some photos or video to post at the end of the weekend!

SPRING IS COMING!! So get outside and enjoys yourselves!!! Here's a pic from last year - how happy was I???!!!

We're Going To Be On TV!!

They are doing a spot on location at PawsWay and we'll be there! HM is getting interviewed about her pawesome Pop Dog Portraits! and I'll be doing an agility demo with some Fast n' Furry team members!!

Fast n' Furry: Thursday Recap!

So HM left me at home today and I got to run with my Pooch Pals pack!! I missed them!

HM on the other hand has been a bit of a traitor!!

She went back to the show today AND ran with another dog!!

She smells like her...her being Shania the Sheltie! but HM felt great..this Sheltie is 10 yrs old and a Masters agility champ. So she knew what she was doing. Apparently there are going to be changes around here..I hear talk of tough love and more obedience structure....we'll see pups...we'll see...

Fast n' Furry: Wednesday Recap!

So today we carpooled two pups with us to the show. Wiley, a golden/border collie mix and Brie, a red border collie. They were nice dogs to ride with!

We get to the show and already the anxiety of my crate is beginning to surface.

But new help is here!! "Auntie Bev" who has champion obedience/agility/flyball dogs did some training with me today. She did some crate games with me, gave me treats for being quiet. (she even told me off for barking when HM left). But I listened..and got some more treats! HM was very happy about this! She knows she has to be tougher with me...channel Cesar Millan! BOL!

So I got to do a fun tunnel game called Chute Out where I ran through a series of tunnels in a zig zag pattern. The crowd even got a laugh, cause I went in one end and HM looked for me at the other..but I popped out the same end and snuck up behind her!! BOL! And I did Barrel racing again.

HM wasn't as stressed out and the day went well!

She's thinking of sending me to an "Auntie Bev" bootcamp!!

That ends my Fast n' Furry pawformances...it was a fun learning experience!

Fast n' Furry: Monday Recap!

My human gramma came out to see me today! She took some pictures of HM and I..but she's not too proficient with email..so I have to wait until she develops them to post.

I did barrel racing again today and for our intro, I got to run through tunnels!!

Then more crating while HM helped set up courses between shows. HM was getting frustrated that I won't settle down and rest between shows like the other dogs...but it's all so new and exciting to me!! She has to learn to be more patient!

Fast n' Furry: Saturday Recap!

The excitement was almost too much to bare. Arrival to the event, quick sniff of some other dogs and HM sets up the dreaded crate area.

SHOW 1
We were only scheduled for the rapid tug intro at the start of the show. It happened so fast that I didn't even notice the crowd.

The more experienced dogs started going through their agilty/flyball game routines. I got sent to my crate. :o(

Although HM is working on this with me...I'm still not comfortable being left in it in strange places. So I barked the whole time.

When the show was over I got to run through the performance area again in the exit line with the other dogs. Then we had kids come in the ring to meet and greet us!! I even gave a little girl my "pawtograph"!!

HM was VERY proud of me! I let little kids come and pet me, and HM answered questions about me!

SHOW 2
I did the rapid tug intro again which went well. Then I got to do a little solo of the obedience and tricks I know while the next session of agility got set up.

The meet and greet is really cool! I gave out my "pawtograph" to a lot of kids this time!

HM is still trying to crate me in between shows...but I'm not doing well with that at all. I'm a work in progress.

SHOW 3
My time to shine...I was doing barrels in my last show...and guess what? I was so tired that I forgot what I was doing and just kept looking at HM!! Jeez...but I did ok! I'm one TIRED pooch!!

Top it all off..HM and I took the subway home! That was fun. I got to sit in her lap the whole way home!

Day 1 was long and tiring..so I'm off to bed now!!

Fast n' Furry debuts this weekend!

The big show is here! April 4-13 the Fast n' Furry team will be performing at the Toronto Home Show!

I'm a junior member, and will be performing in a few games all week! I can't wait!!

I'll blog about my performances, and hopefully will be able to get some pics up by the end of next week!!

Fast n' Furry!

Hellllllo pups! Hope you all had as pawesome a weekend as I did!!

I've been given a great opportunity to tryout for a dog sport performance demo team! It's called Fast n' Furry. They will perform cool agility and flyball races at various sport shows and festivals around the city.

Today was the first practice/tryout.

I'm very green compared to most of the dogs there today, but I got lots of great training and turns at all the games set up.

I LOVE going through tunnels!! I learned a cool sequence to go over 4 flyball jumps into a curved tunnel.

There was a super cute 12 week old Border Collie pup that was sooooo smart! We did a series of barrels to run around, and this little puppy had the moves down!! I've got LOTS of practicing to do! BOL!

Here I am with HM practicing the motion of getting around a "barrel".

Here I am running around the barrel

Both HM and I are completely pooped! But man what a great day! (I ditched agility for this today...sorry Brandi!)
