Luke captured the moment I received the trophy from the Chairman of the Agility Club The beautiful crystal trophy which has mine and Dylan's names written on the front

Well done Dylan ... super dog! Enough taking photos already! The Agility Club publish the Voice agility magazine and I guess we might feature in next months along with the other 20 winners and the overall Club winner too. To get the magazine you too can join the club via their website here This is what I have written for the Voice magazine:

"I am Janet and have owned and trained with Oodles of Dylan Antics in Bedfordshire since he was a puppy. Dylan is my first agility dog and is 3 years old on 24th Nov 2012. When I chose him I wanted a dog who would give agility a good go and come canoeing with me at work and for fun. He is fabulous at both and has been brilliant at teaching me what I need to do for agility to get better and better, with the help and support of Jackie Brett & John Gilbert at Faldo (Thank you so much guys). We joined The Agility Club in February 2012 because John told me I could gain points for the club and I thought why not. We had been competing since the previous June and were still in Grade 1. In March we went to Dog Vegas and won out to Grade 2 taking 2 agility wins. From there my confidence grew and Dylan's increased speed and enthusiasm has helped us collect points all over the place, finishing at Dog Vegas in September winning 5 jumping courses and 1 agility to win out to Grade 6 much to my surprise and delight and totally beyond my expectations.

Dylan is a cockapoo (half working cocker spaniel and half poodle) and I think has been and is a super dog to train as he picks it up so quickly. This winter we have gone back to the drawing board for our contacts as his running contacts are not consistent enough and can be frustrating when that is the only thing he is getting wrong. With our new puppy we are definitely starting with 2 on 2 off contacts from the beginning so my advice to newbies would be to get the basics right as early as possible. With Dylan, I am now thinking about racing lines and turns and helping him be more independent, as he doesn't like me too far away! Having said that I am also getting fitter and running faster. He is a lovely dog who enjoys long walks, playing with his new Chinese Crested Powderpuff brother (Joe) and stills gets very excited when we go canoeing and every time we go agility training or to a show. I am thoroughly hooked and have made some brilliant new friends through the process."
