I will be there both days if it's not pouring rain! We had a really good training session yesterday, and even had some help with distractions in the way of several crows and a little mudlark! Silly mudlark would just walk around following us while we did some heel work He proved quite useful actually, he walked directly in front of her during recalls and she just ran straight passed him, and then when I put her in a stand stay he went right up to her and all but walked underneath her belly. Good girl didn't move an inch and watched me like a hawk Cocky little bird though tempting a birdy gundog like that! I normally watch the weather closely a few days beforehand to work out what I will be wearing, but still working in the light mist rain Congrats to you both for doing a great training session, we dont have any cheaky birds here wish we did We have had a few good training days, on Sat I had Orlando in a sit stay when 3 young drunkin hoods walked pass calling out to my boy, he looked at them but he didnt break I was very pleased Last night working in the Pavillon he is comming along ok, we had a 1 on1 with another trialer, she thinks he is doing good after the freak out he got last year in the building,

me I didnt eat for 2 days got myself in that much of a panic/angzity attatck I nearly end up in hospital Thanks to my heart specalist we have got it under controll also with some outside help with training :D Now I just walk in like we are just at a training sesson

Hi Echo the instructor was talking about it last night at training, so if you suddenly see a lot of witches hats popping up come over & see us :D at the moment she is trying to get as much info as possible to be able to even do trials, I think this could be fun for those who would like a slightly diff trial to just Obed or who cant/unable to compete in Agility. I know my dog would damm near kill the times in Agility 'cause I have a medical cond, I just cant run the courses, I would love to put him through, he just wont work for anybody else we have tried even with me hiding Rally -O here we come the more people we can get to take part the better :D in Vic

Hi Angelsun one of our instructors is talking about starting Rally-O, we have got some of our members want to give it a shot, me for one :D would like to compete, our club is Westernport Obedience Dog Club :D

ok who's entered the State Trials at Kcc Park on the weekend ??? I have heard the weather is going to be horrible Sat - morn rain to clearing 13deg, Sun - rain all day, 8deg

Hi Brennan's mum :D welcome of coarse you can join in the chats Its good you have a method that does work for you & Brennan, everybody here I have found are great with advise, encouragement & lots of praise when you have done well eg: getting passes in trials if you are competing :D :D

Thank you SwaY :D now I can look at making my curtains for the Benches

Andisa I do not blame you for the language, I would use it tooooo Communust Bastards I like Karma she comes back tenfold & bites HARD, You have my sympathy for your lose

Hi best4koda, a good question as bone & body development is different in all breeds, the best person to ask maybe is Abbistar you find him in the Endurance thread a fair bit :D He does a lot of training with dogs & bike

:champagne: A massive big congrats to everybody for this weekend I hope we can do it next weekend at the State Trials, come home with our 2nd pass for CCD :crossfingers: we are doing both days

most Rotties /Dobes dont really mature till thye are about 4 yrs Its fun when you have 4-5 Rotties who decide to show there assertiveness within months apart from each other We have had one that was 78kg's by the time he was 12months, who really pushed the point in being very defiant in training. We found the bitches didnt do this sort of thing till they were around 3yrs, so yes be more calm around her when you do train & go back to more walkies, she might calm down again :D

Good luck I am not looking forward to doing scentwork with Orlando but my OH says he's got some sneaky tricks up his sleeve that could work I am now flatout trying to get him to hold the dumbbell, it is slowly working Little Sarge loves the dumbbell, 10months old & he is already fetching, comimng back & giving it to me

this looks like fun I 2nd that megan if not we miht have to start a group

So when does the new baby arrives??? :D

Can't on Saturday. Thought I might try and get there for a look on Sunday. Are you competing? Yep doing both days with Orlando, he now needs only 2 more passes to get CCD :D

HI PP are you coming along to the State Trials next weekend at the Park

Oh what a magic training session Orlando & I have just had everything was in place perfect for CCD, now we have to just repeat it all again next weekend for the State Trials :happydance: I decided to through in a Change of Position (he has done but walked into me before he droped) , Orlando was at least 15mtr away & Whoa Hoa he did it on the spot :happydance2: I think we will do well in CD when we get there soon

I must admitt I have 3 kids 1 out of control 1 settling down & of course 1 totally in control, ok yes they are 26 yrs 25yrs & 19 yrs 1 grand daughter out of control with her parents but when stays with me its "BOOT CAMP" as her mum puts it & is concern my fury kids 5 in control 2 are just learning being only 10months old

I should not skite here :D but we just bring our bitch upto my partners place where she is housed with our other 2 cut males & our other cut bitch while our 3 entire males are at my place, Malika normally spends at least 3-4 weeks there :D

The only time we have done anything in the Pavilion is when did Conformation shows I have been taking it slow & steady with him, he is ok when it is one on one but when the rest of the class is there is when he trembles We will get there as the old saying goes "Slow & Steady Wins the Race" :laugh: Thank you for your kind words of encouragement Tassie :D

You beat me to it Kavik I was going to suggest those methods it worked on my boy, it took some time but it has paid off :D good luck Marleah :D

Oh I think my boy Orlando has phobia of working in the Pavilion at Kcc Park He will heel ok, 1/2 harted about sits & drops, hates doing stays & jumps the gun on recall When we work outside on grass he is fine does everything beautifully , stays no probs, recall he waits for the magic word, :D I think it is the building, we have only just started working in there one night a week, & of course every little noise echoes,

You sumed it up in a nutshell Bullyisious :thumbsup: Dogs have to be dogs whether small, large or in between, our Pappys love playing with a Bermese Mountain dog (he is very gentle & lays down to their level) also a GSP, she is as silly as a wheel, they love playing "catch me if you can" our Whippet loves doin zoomies with any dog that will zoom with him for some unknown reason our guys seam to adapt them self to the eviroment they are in The 2 dogs I have mentioned are part of our Obed. club there is dogs I do know we wont let our guys play with

I did an inquiry & found out that cats are suppose to be locked up at night I spoke to some people I know that live in NSW & they have cats

Ok I have a silly question to add Ker Do you know if the attack to place during the day or night ??? Also do have any idea which state this attack happened ??? Being a Greyhound (sighthound group) they are a natural prey dogs especially if it has already been trained to chase, even if they havent been taught it still a risk you take having this type of breed
