Good morning all!
This week i am joined by Enya Habel

Enya is an international competitor, a trainer and just a damn good person!

This podcast was recorded before the new year.

Since then, lots has happened! I hope we can get Enya back on to talk about it all, but it goes without saying we wish herself and Markus well!

And a MASSIVE congratulations for managing to qualify all their dogs for the Sweden team this year!

What's happenninnnnnnnngg good people??
Hope everyone is doing well!
We are hoping to get back to schedule on these, this week.
The GB try-outs and Crufts made it impossible as i just had too much on, so thanks for bearing with me!
Expect a new podcast on Friday
As a little "bonus" , i have had a fair few people ask about the intro song..... Well its one of my own i wrote with a friend.
And i've found the full file, so here it is if you want a listen:

13/03/2024

In this episode Kert and Dave discuss some of the courses they ran at Crufts, and analyse the bits that went well, and the bits that could have gone better!

Just as a side note, there were meant to be more course runs analysed.... but something went wrong in the editing room, so im blaming the editor (me).

Hi

Me and Dave Munnings are going to do another analysis podcast as it seems to have gone down quite well.
If you are open to us looking at one of your runs from Crufts (we need 4 more) please can you link the run in the comments?
Either via the live stream from the Crufts youtube channel, with a time stamp of when your run is, or send it directly to me on my personal account?
Many thanks! :)

This week we have AWC world champion Kjersti Jørgensen
Kjersti won gold in the small category with her dog Agi.

We had a great conversation, and i think we could probably still be going now!

I hope you enjoy.

Hi
I hope you are all doing well and having a fantastic weekend!
Me and Dave have just recorded a new podcast episode, this one is a bit of a different....
We have analysed a few runs from the GB tryouts weekend 1.
It'll probably be a better one for you to watch if you can.
I'll link the YouTube link too, but it can also be watched on Spotify.
This wont be a regular thing, but if you like this kind of format, we will do them every now and again, so let us know your thoughts!

Hi everyone!
Hope you are all doing well!
Me and Dave are potentially considering doing a "Match of the Day" type podcast revolving around some of the runs from GB tryouts.
We will analyse peoples runs basically.
The good, the bad and the ..... you know where im going with this ;)

If you have a run you would potentially like to get looked at, and you have a good quality recording of it, let me know in the comments section and i might be in touch!
Thaaaaaaanks :)

The end of our first year and its been a good one!
Firstly, thank you to all of you who share the podcast with friends and enemies ;)
It is the thing that helps us grow, and if we can grow, we can reach more people.
Hope you guys have enjoyed our first year, and are looking forward to what we have in store for '24.
Still not quite sure how that will look, but I'm sure we will sort something!!

Your turn then.....
If you could steal anyone's dog in the "small" height class, without repercussions, who's dog are you stealing??
Tag them in the comment so they can be on watch for all the potential thieves! 🤣🤣

Merry Christmas!

As a bonus Xmas special, the roles are reversed and i am on the receiving end of my own questions!
When initially coming up with this idea (pre covid) i asked questions i thought i would give some fun, unique, informative or interesting answers from whoever was answering....
Lets see if i fail spectacularly 🤣
Thanks Aimee for doing a great job as host.
Little warning, we talked for longer than we realised, so it does go on a bit longer than a normal episode.
Split it in two if you need ;)
Thank you to each of you who's been listening or watching all year.
Your support means a lot, and i hope we can continue to make this grow in the new year!

Relax yourselves ladies and gents, Dave is BACK!
In this episode, if i sound like ive been drinking too much wine, its because i have actually just come home from a session with the dentist! So please forgive my poor articulation!
Today we discuss some agility partnerships that have left their mark in the world of agility, and we are looking to find our top 5.
Yes, we know mount Rushmore doesn't have 5 heads, but we found it hard enough narrowing it down to 5, so live with it!
Do you agree with Dave's choices?
Do you have some differing opinions?
Why?
Who did we miss?
