Back to work 2016

We took some time off and we are back training...

 

Some of our training from 2015

Some of our training from last year, enjoy...

Summer's gone yes!!!! back to work

We are all so glad summer has gone because with the heat it's impossible to train or compete, so we all took some time off.

But now we are back to school and we are proud to have a new studient... a beautiful poodle called Shadow De Lune who is now 10 months and is so looking forward to do what her brothers are doing :)

Here are 3 of our only training of the summer and all babies did look good :) enjoy

Enjoy

Trial Rivalcan

Pancho and the 2 babies Pepito and Wilson are all doing great and we all enjoy our time in the ring :)

Enjoy :)

Seminar with Asa Emanuelsson 2015

We have been competing with the babies and had a great time doing it.
Here are a few courses from those trials, enjoy.

And we had the chance to traing with Asa Emanuelson once again, here are the 2 videos of our training.

Enjoy :)

Great start of the year 2015

Great start of this year 2015 with at last beeing able to train on our new course at home with all our contacts. Here are 2 of our training with 3 courses to start with

and 6 sequences from All Star agility great for all type of turns. 

Those sequences really paid off and you will see why on the following video of our first trial of the year.

This new year 2015 has started with a bang!!! Wilson won grade 1 with 2 very good runs and Pepito second with also some good and faster runs. Very proud of my babies.

Pancho's jumping was perfection, all my turns were on time and the whole course was just a dream. He ran the second best time at 4.8 meters per seconds, very proud of him too. The agility was good too but with a missed dog walk I made him go back, no more cutting corners we need to be consistant with all our training cues...

Our year 2014

2014 was  not about competition but about getting Pancho back to his maximum health after his intoxication last december 2013. I can only thank the angels for allowing Pancho to have a fulll recovery without any problems to his kidneys. We were also very lucky to be picked for WAO and for the 3rd time made the pentathlon final and finished 14th over 80 dogs from all around the world. 
Yes a pug in the top 20 best dogs in the world in agility.....
In FCI we have had some great results but I wasn't looking for clear runs but for perfect runs. Many poeple don't care how they get their clear runs but I do if it's not good it's not what i'm looking for.

Pepito has been doing great in grade 1 and has now more than 12 clears. I'm not going to compet in grade 2 with him, he can't run more than 3.1 meters per seconds and that would be unfair for him to be eliminated because of the crono :)

Wilson has been a great little soldior and had ran many great courses and has now 2 clear in time and many other great runs. I'm very proud of him and can only go better with time.

Those are a few runs we did... a lot to work on for all 3 boys but I'm enjoying them so much it's the most important matter for me .

New arrival in the Flying pug pack

We have a new arrival at the Flying Pugs.... a little black furball called Shadow de Lune... No she is not a pug but a toy poodle :)

Here is our first walk on the beach and she is already part of the pack.

After our seminar with Jenna Caloander

I had a few training on the beach after our seminar with Jenna and we went to a trial and tried to put into action what we have learnt.

Seminar with Jenna Caloander 2014

I was very lucky to train with Jenna Caloander in Girona. Jenna is such a great lady and I wish this hearth would have mor people like her to make it a better place.

Jenna's training was a very good addition to what we trained with Asa, fast and furious too!!

Training on the beach and trial November 2014

We have been training on the beach for our few trials, it's the best we can do but we are missing our contacts training and this is what's missing in Pancho's and Wilson's training. Enjoy :)

Happy pug time on the beach

Training is just a little part of our routine we love to go on the beach and have fun!! Wilson is showing you how its done ;)

Seminar Asa Emanuelsson

We went to Valencia to train with one of the best Sweedish handler Asa Emanuelsson.

We trained on 3 courses and I can tell you it was fast and furious!!! BLIND CROSSES FOLLOWED BY MORE BLIND CROSSES AND MORE KERTSCHKERS!!!

Wilson and Pepito aslo trained abd it was very rewarding especialy for Wilson becasue Asa showed me how to help him more due to his bad eye sight.

Here is our video of the seminar :)

A week later I had to train what I learnt at the seminar and I was happy with the progesses we made here are 2 of our training on the beach.

FCI trial La Torre

So proud of my boys after starting in grade 1 in FCI!! and finished 2nd and 3rd!! 

On sunday pepito won and Wilson was 4th with great runs.

Pancho had 2 great jumpings and a 5 at one of the agility at the dog walk again....

Here is the video of my 3 boys, enjoy... click on link

Training is important for the competitions

I have been unable to train the babies due to my move from Mallorca to Barcelona and I really missed it. I love our training days with my boys and at last I have found a great place to do it... The Beach!!! Now that the tourists are gone we can have accesss to them and they are the best place to do it.

I don't train for long just 5 minuters per dog but it's so important and I have seen the rewards this weekend at our lastest trial with some great runs from Baby Wilson with perfect contacts and great weave. Still a few poles but that will come together in time. Pepito also has improved his weave entrances and did great too with a 2nd place and Wilson 3rd. 

Pancho loved his training this week and it has helped us for his runs with some very good courses from Albert Ulldemolins with the technical changes we worked on the beach and finished 2nd in Mini/midi.

 This is our video enjoy :)

FCI trial La Daga

We went to Lleida for a trial at a great camping with the flying pugs.

Pancho had a very good run at the agility on saturday with a very unfair 5 points at the long jump. And an elimination at the agility... i can only discribe the action as "lost in translation" lol better next time.

On sunday we ran 2 clear runs in the fastest time and won the class small/medium. Very proud of my baby boy and the most important is the fact that pancho is pretty much where he was a year ago before all his health problems. Love you baby.

Enjoy the video :)

FCI La Salva

This was a great trial for Pepito and Wilson as they were able to compete in a pre agility event with great runs from both babies.

Pancho also ran his classes with some great moments but too many mistakes from my part...

Soon the 2 babies are also going to run FCI trials and my wish is to have a Flying pugs team :)

International Agility Festival England

Again this year we went to England to compete at the International Agility Festival. 

First we ran the qualifiers for the International class. 
With a clear jumping and a 5 at the dog walk we were 5th overall. We had a good start at the final but unfortunatly due to a bad desicion of my part we were eliminated.

The following days we had some great runs with many placings and i was very happy to see Pancho running faster each time we entered the ring. 

I'm so proud of my baby boy and we will be back next year for sure with all the flying pugs in the ring....Enjoy :)

Holidays in France

We are all taking a few days off in France before making our way to the Agility Festival in the UK. Here is a short video of our day out. Enjoy ;)

FCI August 2014

The flying pugs are now based in Cataluña and this means a greater number of trials and much easier to get to them.
Those 3 trials are our first since WAO in May and our move from Majorca to Barcelona.

I was very happy with our first few runs and Pancho was getting faster every time.

We still have a few things to sort out like the dog walk but the start line but i guess things never change lol...

Here are our 2 videos with some of our courses, enjoy :)
