hmm excuses family and all that my kids would never come to a comp they reckon they have been traumatised enough by the dog world over the years

Hehe im not sure DD i would say if hes graded at white then he should be able to compete in the encouragement as they arent having a white class per se will ask at club what you should do on sunday And Glory bea no i dont know the rules inthis situation as they arent running a white class and it is a club comp if white is deemed to be the encouragement exercises then is it encouragement or white class hmm the joys of doggy club politics yb Hey hedds wanna take the puppy in the puppy class for me lol theres a dilemma dogs with weternport handler with hastings what to do with the points if she wins lol

shhh shhhs i didnt hear that about Beck well if hes in white class and whiet is their enouragment i dont see why not yb You know if we get enough Dolers in the encouragement class we could stir things up and all return to the wrong dogs lol

30th april at hastings grounds i have the details here umm for you dd id put one in encouragement and one in novice or stick both in encouragement and get hedds to take one for stays connor will be in encouragement we could have a summer school reunion almost lol Dont know if there will be a fun ring i'll get rexy to ask tonight if she goes to trianing if so we could have a ball of a time. Nah summer school students are exempt from being the other team we're secretly training together so Tobes and Connor aare at their best lol yb

Hey Nat Its not till end of April plenty of time to tidy up and have a go it could be your motivation to get back into it I see they allow food and toys up until the trial type classes in the comp. Im sticking connor in he doesnt know auto sits yet of drop and stand while heeling and has only ever dont one group stay in his life and Hannah will do puppies she only knows sit and come lol so not sure how we plan to do the rest lots of luring me thinks.

Hi Guys Anyone going to go im thinking of entering but not if i have to sit by myself lol yb

Now re them wanting more - his beloved teddy bear that was his life line buddy to carry about and to cuddle up to has recently lost his face , followed by de-gutting of the white fluff, "Skin" still remins a life line, I dont think for long.. After 1.5 hours of training 3 days straight I ahve a dog standing near where I keep the ball whinging.... Havent seen a rat for a while....... Someone wants a unsatisfied monster? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rofl1.gif) Free to a good satisfying home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rofl1.gif) Im assuming this is not literal and the dog is still happy to chill out once hes told theres no more oppurtunity to gain satisfaction I hate to think the poor things obsessing over the toy

Hey seeing you took my place if you pass can i have it and say you did it for me by proxy lol yb

Cool glad to be of service lol i was going but ive hurt my back and can barely move at present so had to give it a miss yb

i may not go if its going to be hot yb

Funny my dogs show their personality through play and likes and dislikes and are highly trained i watch people with dogs that come fiftypercent of the time ignore their owners but have been to trianing and enjoy romping over the hills and far away and see something undesirable and somewhat of a nuisance to toher people at the park for example we went training with a small group my dog played with me did some trianing ahd heaps of fun one pet trained dog spent half its time at the dam barking at birds and finally came back just to nick of again two others kept racing off to play but ignore their owners call to come back half the the time the other kept coming over to my dog and trying to get his toys and food ye i got in some nice training played ball rough house with the dog i let my dog have short interaction with another dog f similar size that has a nice personality and while they interacted i prctised recalls away from them and when it was time to go my dog happily trotted off with me to the car while others were still chasing their dogs in the dark lol I know which dog i'd prefer

Do you practise sit then drop a lot at club often the dogs just string the two together and though at training your reminding her your not at a trial Id go back and be more variable in dstance duration and distaction level. and have her do sits while others are dropped and vice versa. What happens at club if you say nothing to her during the stay will she drop then if so then she needs to go back to basics and rebuild she may think stay is stay but position isnt part of it. Also has she got a sore back maybe she drops out of discomfort. I see a lot of people have trouble with the stays and usually its beause the practise routines for the ring rather than the individual exercises

My sister has tried various things but found the engine oil and cement to wok best. Ask your breeder or see if there is a local sheltie person that can show how much to use and how to apply My sheltie has the opposite problem his earls are too sofy and flop too much apparently but i think he loks cute that way so im not gong to do antyhing about it

dont use them dont really like them they take to much good timing for beginners to realy use correctly I have one it keeps the gate shut there good for that lol

Yes there is you can have a dog that will play ith other dogs and still come when called It takes hard work but then so does all training. Have you seen really reliable recalls by leslie neilson that is an excellent program that works really well i use a very similar program PM me your email and i will try to put something on papaer for you yb

so Ness what were these terrible sheltie jokes I work my training group off lead it certainly makes the class aware of keeping attention on their own dog to keep it with them its a lot of fun

Hey im a sheltie owner whats so funny baout us

Kintala i believe train with pups of lead I love dunbar i have a dvd of his and a tape of his puppy classes very entertaining speaker. didnt get to go to preston but im sure it was well worth it. would like to hear about this gruf tone thing to i need ideas for a class memebr on that one

Any idea what time we are suposed to get there

Well ive done it posted the entry today connor will do his instinct test on the 11th march. Now maybe we should go see some sheep this week he has only seen sheep once at the worskshop last year. Im going this saturday to see what they have to do as i have no idea

Now that could be interesting somhow i dont think they'd roll out the welcome wagon lol

maybe hastings will need a name change to DOL lol im beginning to feel lonely

i pity your teachers lol but i think there is some exaggeration on some of these dogs naughtiness they were all perfect angels at summer school
