Buffy's champ agility run at North Derbyshire! So close to a clear!

09/09/2024

Great weekend at North Derbyshire show. Lovely to see lots of Freymor folk enjoying their dogs!

Buffers won a grade 7 agility class and did great stuff in champ with just one little mistake on each down to me not being fast enough 🙈. Really pleased that her confidence seems to be back!

Vaia did a lovely run in a grade 2 jumping class with fastest time overall but unfortunately knocked two poles. Very pleased with her as she really struggles in the show environment so great result for her.

Emma Scott and Zeus did really well winning a class and qualifying for the DSD Novice final!

Lots of other places and training wins for Freymordians. Proud of all your successes! Buffy's champ agility and Vaia's jumping run are posted below.

Freymor Dogs Agility Foundation Skills courses starting in September!

Main venue in New Farnley, Leeds
Tues 3rd September 11am

Acrecliffe Equestrian Centre, Otley
Wed 4th September 6.15pm

This 6 week course will set you up for successful agility training by teaching crucial skills to you and your dog through a series of fun, reinforcement-based games.

These include:
Relationship building
Handling skills
Reinforcement strategies
Creating drive to and away from the handler
Focus for work through distraction and excitement
Introduction to jumps and tunnels

If these are in place, obstacle training becomes so much easier and you will have many skills you can train and practise at home so your time in class is spent more productively. All training will be tailored to you and your dog.

You will also get:

- online support via a closed Facebook group with demonstration videos and/or notes for the weekly games, and problem solving help if you have issues during the week.
- Reinforcement toolkit including our top pick of treats and toys

To get the most from the course, whatever your aim, you should enjoy playing with your dog and be able to commit to several 5 min training sessions during the week between classes. Your dog should be fit and healthy, 6 months or older and be happy to work around other dogs.

You may have the aim of just having fun with your dog at a weekly class or are serious about competing in the future. Dogs that have completed this course in the past continue to come for weekly fun in class and some have gone on to successfully compete at national and international level!

Jen Lewis is the Head Instructor and has competed in top level UK agility for over 20 years, with multiple dogs. She has a world champion title with her border collie Spud and is a Kennel Club Championship level judge and Judge's Trainer and has taught and judged all over the UK and overseas.

The cost of the course is £150, including weekly hour long classes, online support with videos and feedback, dog treat pack and two agility toys for reward success.

If you would like to book a space, please get in touch as soon as possible as I expect the spaces to fill quickly. Once a space is confirmed, payment in full will be requested.

Guest trainer day with Nic Jones at Freymor Central!

17/04/2024

We got the terrible news yesterday that James had had to say goodbye to Winston. It is likely that Winston ingested a toxic substance on a walk at Lindley Wood Reservoir. I will share James's post below. It would appear that it is currently unsafe to walk dogs in this area and that other dogs have become ill and lost their lives after walking there.

Winston was a much-loved member of our Monday night training group, but having previously trained at Acrecliffe on a Thursday, was known to many Freymor members.

James and Winston came to us when he was young, to do foundation at Acrecliffe. James did a super job, growing Winston's confidence and skills so he could excel at agility. He demonstrated this amply by bringing home many rosettes and trophies, qualifying for finals, getting on podiums (earning the title of Lord!), going up the grades and trying out for the national teams. That his bright future has been ended by this most cruel of events is devastating for James, his family and all of us that knew them. Winston was the sweetest dog and the bond he and James shared was plain for all to see.
If I could rewrite this ending, I would. We wanted to enjoy watching them get to grade 7, run in champ, make more finals and podiums, and run in the team tryouts again. I'm so sorry that this isn't to be. Winston could not have had a better home with James and Becky and he will be much missed by everyone here at Freymor.
