Inspired by the other thread - 2021 plans for dogs?!

[CorvusCorax]

The sport formerly known as Schutzhund I'm just enjoying training, not sure if I'll compete with this one or not.
The social stuff is just social stuff, whether she's a sports dog or not, I need to be able to walk my dogs past road works, through crowds, sit at peace during the football or when I'm having a coffee etc etc and not leap all over random people.
The fact that it applies to a competition setting (loud noises, crowds at bigger events, neutrality to strangers) is just a bonus.

Don’t acquire anymore. Especially not another corgi.

Not to kill current corgi.

Find a more mutually effective way of grooming my eldest rough collie (now ten and with a huge coat)

Keep the blue one sane.

Stay sane myself.

Not buy another corgi.

or a whippet, Tibetan spaniel or Sealyham.

not buy another corgi.

never.

I have not acquired any more dogs.

I have not, in particular, acquired another corgi.

I now give a hygiene clip - bottom, balls and belly, to my eldest rough. He seems happy enough.

the ‘blue one’ is sane enough still

corgi Sherman tank is still alive. 2 next month, it is a record I think. Although she still thinks she knows best.

2021 dog wise is going to plan at least, even if nothing else is.

Small dog went to an unaff agility show and had a nice win, there's another unaff and two KC shows on the calendar this month, soooo close to normality now and getting him out there.

I have been exercising with surprising regularity and no longer groan when I put my socks on so there's even a chance I may be able to keep up with him.

Ducks are a bit too excitable for herding but sheep have now arrived for experimentation ?

Big dogs still snoring and farting, couple of health scares but ticking along and happy. 2021 ok so far!

We're now back at training for all sports.

Agility is going much better than I expected with Dobby, he has 12 months to pull his socks up before focusing just on that as disc and leaving flyball. We did manage some work with balls last week and he is coming back quicker but I'm still not convinced it's worth the stress. He's also doing really well as toss and fetch, we have a new venue for this season which means he's off his longline and we're both more relaxed making us the highest scorers at out club the last 2 weeks.

Fizz has forgotten her striding/box work so going right back to basics but she's just loving her flyball still and enjoying toss and fetch even if catching isn't her speciality.

Ginny is really working hard at flyball, we had a slight set back with her triggering the box for the first time as the noise worried her but some desensitisation work at home seems to be doing the trick. She's also much happier with the boss handling her for run backs etc which is a big help. Shes had an agility taster and loved it so more private lessons this month and we'll see how she gets on. She's gone back a step at toss and fetch as our new venue is way too sniffy for a close to the ground sniffy girl like her but she's enjoying the socialising at least.

Here’s my Collie dog.
Her main ambition and goals for 2021 are to get a bit more sleep in and perhaps figure out a way to get to the dog biscuits without being seen.
She’s also keen on teaching us (her people who are a bit slow at these things) that she is categorically no longer, ever going outside in the rain ️
