Course Analysis Seminar & Final Day Pictures
Hello,
Today I have been conducting the biggest agility seminar I
have ever done, with my course analysis seminar attracting 75 people.
We started the day by me watching everyone run one of my
previous course (A class 3 agility that I used in South Africa 2012) and after
everyone had run, I worked through the course (with the help of my translator)
to analyse every part of the 20 obstacle course, looking for the optimum line,
and suitable handling solutions.
The group then ran again through the course. I timed a
section of the course to see if the handlers improved, which almost everyone
did.
We then did the same on a Jumping course I used in Prague a
few weekends ago, which also proved excellent for analysing routes and fastest
lines.
The day proved a huge success and everyone said they had
enjoyed it.
I am now back in Osaka, listening to English Premier League
football despite it being the early hours of Monday morning.
I fly back to the UK Monday evening, arriving around 7am
Tuesday morning.
I would like to say what a privilege and honour it has been
to teach here in Japan. I would like to thank all of my students, and everyone
who has organised my trip here, including my translator who has worked
tirelessly all week!
Enjoy the pictures.
Speak soon

Japan KC show course plans & pictures
Hello,
Today has been a very long and tiring one, but a lot of fun
also. Friday we drove 3 hour South West of Osaka for the competition. This
morning I was up at 6am to get ready and be at the show to check the course’s
which I had designed.
I was in charge of designing class 1,2,3 agility &
jumping today.
I actually judged class 1 jumping large and class 3 agility
small, medium and large. It was a terrific honour to be judging in such a great
country.
At the end of the day we had a big prize ceremony. I was
awarding the prizes and also ended up signing for some people. It felt quite
good that everyone appreciated you being here! After the signing I then had an
interview with Japanese TV! This was done through my interpreter but was also a
lot of fun.
I have attached the course plans and some pictures of what I
was up to today (The first couple are from the drive yesterday!).
