Silvia Trkman's best DVD yet?
 
Quite possibly! I'm really excited to check this one out. It released for download yesterday and rumor has it that CleanRun will have it in 10 days.


I just picked up two more Trkman DVDs and started watching Cik & Cap last night. I've enjoyed every one of them that I've purchased!

Thanks for sharing, I am downloading the DVD right now:) Hopefully I will have time to watch it tonight:) I have really enjoyed her other DVDs, but this one looks very interesting!

Well then you beat me to it! I prefer the hard copy so am holding out for the offering on CleanRun. Definitely let us know what you think!

[EDIT]- man I'm so bad... Couldn't wait. Ordered the DVD from her site. :rofl:

Lol, you are only slightly more patient than me! I can't wait two weeks:) I have a serious agility DVD addiction (actually anything agility addiction.) I just downloaded Daisy peel's "look back" DVD yesterday too, really liked it. I have decided I am going to embrace these "European handling" maneuvers. There were several places at last weekends trial where I was really wishing I had a blind cross! Plus there were several "world level" handlers at the trial and its just too much fun to watch their moves, now I want those moves too!!!

Well- welcome to the club! Yes, I most definitely also have a serious agility DVD addiction. This just arrived in the mail yesterday:

LOL!

I'm with you on the international style handling. AKC, CPE, NADAC, man- it's so boring compared to watching international style. In fairness, I'm hardly bored when running CPE with Pimg. Just saying all that "fancy crap" is seriously fun to do and watch!!

KristiM 03-06-2013 10:23 AM

Haha, yep I think we both have a problem lol. I do have a bow wow flix membership and rent most stuff and take very good notes. Otherwise I don't think I would have enough money to eat! I want to see and read EVERYTHING and that seriously adds up$$$.

I'm totally addicted to AAC style agility now! NADAC was fun....but the international style challenges are WAY more exciting! Now that Odin and I have moved up to advanced I can barley contain myself:) I'm so excited for regionals (and possible nationals) I could just scream. I really need to calm down lol.

I have to say- I just started watching the Cik & Cap DVD last night. Awesome, awesome, awesome! There was fantastic Kelpie at our last trial who was trained using a combo of Mecklenburg's Jumping and Cik & Cap. The handler was sooooo good, and the dog was only 17months old and lightening fast. They would go out there and just play with the most crazy twisty turny backsides wraps etc. It was a dream to watch. I asked her what jump foundation she used and she told me the above two. She even took me over to the practice jump and showed me more/less what was covered in the Cik & Cap DVD. I swear that Kelpie could float like the best BC... Incredibly light on her feet.

Speaking of... Internationalization | Dog Agility Blog Events

The first Dog Agility Blog Event for 2013 is today Wednesday March 6th on the topic:
“Internationalization”

It is so much fun watching dogs like that! I should watch cik and cap again. I didn't really do much with the material in the DVD, but I do run the dogs around trees, power poles etc like she does in the DVD. Odin turns very tight and bends really well through the spine when taking jumps, i get tons of comments on how crazy tight he can turn! I really think that all of the sending him around stuff has been a huge help in making him so bendy (I actually started doing it to get really nice, tight turns for the blind search in schutzhund;)) Havoc needs a lot of work on turning though (but is still injured:()

Thanks for the link, I will have to read through it later or I will meet get my work done in time to take the dogs to the barn for some agility this afternoon;)

Thanks for the reminder about that DVD!! I saw the trailer and decided I have to get it.

I love Mecklenburg's jumping. My friend suggested I try it to start Ace on jumping since sheps don't tend to naturally jump well and it's helped soooo much. His jumping is looking so much better.
