The real joy
is in the privilege and ability
to step to the start line
with your dog by your side,
not in the crossing

victorious over others.

Quote of the Month:
January 2008:
 

Run the course like each one is your last.
Make it a run that leaves you smiling,
if not laughing aloud for the joy of the sport.
Otherwise you will have missed
the most important thing in agility,
the love and companionship
of a trusted, loyal and loving canine partner.

Kathleen Highfill

Quote of the Month: 
October 2007

Often the difference
between a successful person
 and a failure,
is not one's better abilities or ideas,
but the courage that one has
to bet on one's ideas,
to take a calculated risk,
and to act.

Maxwell Maltz

Quote of the Month: May 2007

The reason most people
never reach their goals
is that they don't define them,
or ever seriously consider them
as believable or achievable.

Winners can tell you
where they are going,
what they plan to do along the way,
and who will be sharing
the adventure with them.

Denis Watley

Be aware of the role you play
in your dog's mistakes.

Do not blame your dog for

Our dogs are only a reflection of us.

Quote of the Month:
March 2007

Julie Daniels
(agility instructor and competitor)

Believe in yourself and in your dog (and do your homework, so you have reason to believe in yourself and your dog).

Eat and drink properly. Love the course. Avoid people who are whining and worrying. Internalize only what is good for you.

Visualize what you DO want, including the entirety of your perfect run in detail. Breathe. Loosen up yourself and your dog.

Know and do what helps your dog when you are on deck.

Go for it!!!

på de forskjellige nivåer av treningen.

MARCH 2003

Om 20 år - uavhengig av antall seire og titler,
det vi vil huske om hundene våre, er vårt forhold til dem,
deres smil, deres tilbedende øyne
og deres ubetingede kjærlighet.

Bud Houston

 

 

MARCH 2003

In 20 years, regardless of the qualifying scores and the titles,

Konkurransesesongen er i gang....

Visdomsord for ditt første stevne:
Agility er gøy, AGILITY ER GØY!
Hvis du ønsker deg noe mer enn det, finn deg en annen sport.
Verken du eller hunden din kommer til å bli verdensmestre.
Ikke vi heller. Heller ikke 99% av andre agilityutøvere.
Så få den tanken ut av hodet øyeblikkelig
og gå ut på banen og ha det gøy!

Betsy Hyde

 

 

MAY 2003

The competition season is starting....

Words of wisdom for your first show:
Agility is fun. AGILITY IS FUN!
If you want more than this, go to another sport.
You and your dog are not going to be world champions.
Neither are we. Neither are 99% of agility competitors.
So just get that out of your mind right away
and have fun.

Betsy Hyde

 

 

JUNI 2003

Hvis hunder kunne snakke,
åh - hva kunne de vel si:
"Jeg gjorde mitt beste,
til tross for den dårlige føringen
jeg fikk idag!"

Denne sporten er 90% mental 
og 90% svette

Marquand Cheek

 

 

JUNE 2003

 

If dogs could talk,
oh, what they might say:
"I gave it my best,
despite the marginal handling
I received today!"

 

This game is 90% mental 
and 90% perspiration.


Marquand Cheek

Properly trained,

Corey Ford, American writer

 

AUGUST 2003

Det er synd vi ikke kan lese
hundens tanker. Ofte antar vi at
hundene dabber av eller gir blaffen
 i oss, når de i realiteten bare
leser vårt kroppsspråk,
plukker opp små signaler
vi ikke engang vet
vi sender, og adlyder det vi
ikke vet vi forteller dem.

Trisha Stall

AUGUST 2003

 

It's too bad we can't read dogs'
minds.  Often we assume dogs
are "slacking off" or "blowing
us off", when really they are
just reading our body language,
 picking up subtle hints we
aren't even aware we're sending,
and obeying what we don't
realize we're telling them.

Vårt liv er bare et speilbilde av våre handlinger.
Hvis du ønsker mer kjærlighet i verden,

Ditt agility løp er ikke en tilfeldighet.
Det er et speilbilde av deg.

Our life  is simply a reflection of our actions.
If you want more love in the world,
create more love in your heart.
If you want more competence in your team,
improve your competence.
Life will give you back everything you have given to it.

Your agility run is not a coincidence.
It's a reflection of you.
