New Year's Resolutions 2016 On New Year's Eve

It's New Year's Eve, meaning 2016 is approaching at a rapid rate. Because the big change of year is coming up tonight, we decided it would be a good idea to make our New Year's resolutions and write them down today. And what better way than to start with the dogs?

Earl's New Year's Resolutions 2016

1. To gain my final Agility win and win out into Grade 6 at Kennel Club level in Agility and come within the top three overall places in the ABL Senior League in the Agility Nuts Winter League 2015-2016.

2. To continue to increase my speed, motivation and confidence in the competitive Agility ring.

3. To attempt to control my cheese and general food addiction, hopefully resulting in less whining when the humans are preparing any edibles.

Ethel's New Year's Resolutions 2016

1. To win at least three Grade 3 Jumping classes at Kennel Club Agility competitions and win out into Grade 4.

2. To gain more accuracy when attempting to complete more difficult Agility courses.

3. To attempt and hopefully succeed at the Young Kennel Club Agility Dog Of The Year Crufts Qualifier in November with natural speed and confidence.

My New Year's Resolutions 2016

(Of course, Earl and Ethel's Agility winning out resolutions are as much mine as their's!)

1. To improve my individual handling for Earl and Ethel as individual dogs when running each one separately in Agility.

2. To go for longer, more exciting walks with the dogs in different places to usual.

3. To ensure I get more sleep and have earlier nights than during 2015. Hopefully, this will result in feeling more awake and motivated to do things in my daily life. Although I don't need any more motivation for hobbies and activities such as Agility, having more sleep will hopefully make me even more aware and focussed in the ring, making me an even better handler and quick thinker.

And another one for me... 

4. Start a successful YouTube channel and upload high quality videos of the dogs doing impressive activities such as performing tricks, running Agility and more, including uploading our first, introductory video.

We're pumped and ready to see what 2016 brings us!

We hope 2016 brings happiness, grand health, excitement, success and good times to everyone out there, human, canine and other animal alike!
