All you need are some handlebar streamers and playing cards in the spokes and you'll be the coolest one on the bike course.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-29392177736687013152007-05-03T08:09:00.000-06:002007-05-03T08:09:00.000-06:00(Mine's the Carlton Criterium, at the top).

Everyone that I talked to from my training field really enjoyed the seminar and there were lots of people that had done it last year that came back this year. One woman who took 2nd in the Grand Prix at USDAA Nationals last Nov. came all the way from South Dakota and another couple came from New Mexico. There were lots of top handlers in the area and a former World Team member in attendance.<BR/><BR/>This seminar was focused on how to set lines and some European handling techniques, in particular using opposite arm handling but I'm sure you could ask him to focus on teaching whatever you want.<BR/><BR/>I'll write up more once I get my videos (our local Dartfish guru was taping) and some time (hah! like that'll ever happen).Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-45435182261406545342007-05-01T23:38:00.000-06:002007-05-01T23:38:00.000-06:00I should ask--so would you recommend Mouwen as a s...I should ask--so would you recommend Mouwen as a seminar provider? My club hasn't hosted a seminar in quite a while (although there are other groups offering some in the area), and I'm curious about someone other than the usual north american crowd.<BR/><BR/>-ellenElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-87955164642514272132007-05-01T08:33:00.000-06:002007-05-01T08:33:00.000-06:00Yeah, the old guys do much better with exercise an...Yeah, the old guys do much better with exercise and attention than the couch potato dogs. And I'm sure my dogs would injure themselves whether they were doing agility or not, they have no regard for their bodies and love to run around like idiots. The way she tears around on a regular basis I'm surprised Lola lasted until 6 before getting injured.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-32493086422230609682007-04-30T15:48:00.000-06:002007-04-30T15:48:00.000-06:00With 3 dogs plus one Self in training, no wonder y...With 3 dogs plus one Self in training, no wonder you've been busy. Older dogs: I think agility helps dogs be healthier longer than ordinary pet dogs, notwithstanding the occasional injury, which of course we all try hard to avoid. <BR/><BR/>-ellen (taj mutthall)Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.com
