Just a note: Virtually all of the training on these pages and on the website relates to my dogs and the way I train them.  Unfortunately I can't advise on behavioural problems.  Please the Contact Us page. Pat 
 

Contacting us
Jamie and Sasha have written this page which will help with some of your enquiries.

Breeds and Crossbreeds for agility - What sort of dogs would you recommend?  Can you spare a minute or two to take a survey?

Agility For Pet Dogs
Would your pet dog enjoy some simple agility? You don't have to compete or go to training classes to have some fun in the garden.

Dog Treats
Have you ever wondered what sort of treats to give your dog for a change?  I've found some interesting stuff on the net and Kathy Williams has sent in an interesting recipe.

Finding Space to Train
Are you stuck for a little bit of land to set up some jumps?   Here's some ideas that might help.

Prong Collars, shock collars and choke chains
Prong collars are being sold on ebay but we'd like to see these things banned.  They have no place in training.

Jamie's in fine fettle at the Cornwall show
and I've been asked a couple of questions about elementary classes.  There's a video clip on this page too. 

Fat Boy Slim - Jamie goes on a diet
OK,  So he's still a bit podgy here and there but he hasn't half done well.  Observations on slimming and links to articles on the dreaded bloat and a study of fat dogs versus thin.

About us 
Some background information.  Just in case you want to know who's responsible for this lot.

Road testing the Easy Walk harness
A lot of dogs pull on the lead and Sasha was no exception.  We stopped the problem with an Easy Walk training harness. 

Sasha Learns to Weave
Weaving is one of the most difficult things to teach a dog.  Here's Sasha learning the V-weaves and then the upright poles.

Meet Sasha
Jamie's new companion is a little border collie girl.  She's beautiful and is dying to have a go at agility.

Good teamwork
Sometimes you can learn a lot from watching top class handlers.  The video clip on this page shows some exceptionally good handling and I think you'll find it memorable. 

Civil Service Dog Agility Club
If you're a Civil Servant and you train a dog for agility  Soraya Porter (Revenue and Customs), would like to hear from you.

Road testing the Halti harness
I've been threatening to get one of these for ages.  Now that I've forked out for it you can read the road test.  It could be the answer for your pulling dog.

Pulling dogs and Lead shy dogs
Not agility I know but I will do everything I can to stop people using cruel collars

Strains and an Agility Dog
It was almost the start of the agility season and Jamie had strained his hind leg. Here's what happened and how I rehabilitated him.

A Rehabilitation Diary
A record of how we got on with our rehabilitation programme.
