Brave PUPsterS!

Today we went to our local kennel club show as a bystanders and not a participants. I quite like the feeling, however I will prefer to a participants anytime. We have 3 brave PUPsterS entered this show. They are Gillian and Sky, Nicole and Hope and Anderson and Blossom. Weather is good and all of us enjoyed the shows tremendously.

After a long break, Nicole and Hope are back and this team came back with a bang! Two clean runs in their maxi-novice jumpers class and earned their Jumping Dog Title. Well done Nicole and Hope, great wins with great handling. Anderson is a faithful USDAA scorer and she always have to give up her chances in USDAA Trials as a volunteer so that other participants can enjoy the shows. Thank God for local kennel show, now she can concentrate on her run. Guess what? Anderson and Blossom came in 3rd in the mini-novice jumpers class and this is their first clean run. Well done Ann and Blossom, your hardwork have paid off.

Gillian and Sky also have their good runs, however due to some faults, cause this team their win and placing. Take heart Gillian, continue to work hard, you will see your efforts pays off one day.

This being a great opportunity we brought along Guinness and she has proof her obedience. Guinness is so concentrated on us, she is quick to respond to her recall, distraction and a tempting big field to romp around. She has passed his test with flying color, she socializing well with all dogs and she is ready to enter competition when she is ready to compete.

Thanks to our supporters, Lynn, Yulin, kamal, Alex and Debra. This great support have given our participants strength to do well in the competition.




What a great day today? Once again well done to our brave PUPsterS,

It's been a long time .....

It’s been a long time since I have time to train Jade. This afternoon training was a beautiful experience. Jade now can move into heel position on my left and on my right. She now automatically move into heel position to get her rewards on motion.

At the same time I worked Jade on Agility as well. The Pause Table was my plan. Now she can jump onto the table and adopt a sit position. Of course, my ultimate aim is to get her to take a down position on the table. Jade don’t seems to like to down position, I will have to work on her separately. Open Tunnel was next. Working with Jade to go into the tunnel on her own. Jade did it brilliantly. Now she dashes out with great intensity.

She is such a darling :0

PUPS Dog Sports Demo @ RustiRun!

PUPS Dog Sports Demo at RustiRun Event this morning 24 Jan 2010
I want to thank RustiRun of having us and we are there for a series of Dog Sports Demonstrations to promote Positively Trained Dogs Can Do It All!

We kicked start with our 1st Dog Sport Discipline, some call it K9 Freestyle or Heelwork to Music, but to put it simply it is Doggy Dancing! Mikah and Debra will performed a minutes routine to the song Achy Breaky Heart. A Westurn line dancing song that Mikah enjoys dancing too. Debra and Mikah hopes that this sport will pick up in Singapore!

PUPS 2nd favorite Demo will be demonstrated by our members the CrazyK9s Flyball Team. Flyball is another popular sports that dog lovers do with their dogs. It is fun and energy burning! Both dogs and their owners love this game!

Lets hear it from Team CrazyK9s! Team A - Christine & Micky (BC), Tina & Buddy (BC) & YuLin & Vidya (Cocker Spaniel). Team B - Gloria & Sparky (Corgi), Ken & Bozz (BC) & Evelyn & Billion (BC).

Our 3rd Demo is Dog Frisbee or Canine Freestyle. Benji enjoys a good game of Frisbee and this is one of his favourite rewards after a good training session. Dexter and Benji will show you some of the moves you can do with a Frisbee. Butterfly, multiple, under the legs, over the legs, over your back, the salute, the catch…..

Our final Demo is our Agility Dog Sports. Agility show a dog’s natural athleticism. Athleticism is represented by a dog’s working ability, which is defined by the dynamics of their physical build as well as their willingness to work.

The challenge presented in this demo are weavepole, pin-wheel over 360 degree turns, a fast home stetch of jumps over tunnels jumps combination. Our Agility Demo Team are Christine & Micky (BC), Tina & Buddy (BC), YuLin & Vidya (Cocker Spaniel), Gillian & Sky (BC), Nicole & Hope (Golden-X) & Dexter & Benji (BC).

Without you guys and girls, our PUPS Dog Sports Demo will not be a great success! Thanks again, and we hope you all enjoyed yourself at RustiRun Events.

Analogies of Dog Sports......

Analogies of Dog Sports

I have found very interesting and good analogies on how we can express the various discipline of Dog Sports.

Dog Obedience = Champagen and Caviar

Dog Shows = Formal Dinner

Dog Agility = Wine and Crackers

Flyball = Beer Party

PUPS - Positive Interaction with Animals! from Dexter Sim on Vimeo.

Finally we can get back our very first video we made. It mean so much to us. We were very disappointed when our video was amended by another video hosting site.

All dog and handler teams in the video are positively trained. This Video aims to explain all dog-lovers that positively trained dogs can excel in dog sports such as Obedience, Agility, Flyball, Frisbee, Canine Freestyle Dancing etc

Positively trains dogs ROCK!
