LOL what day are we going sat or sunday guys

I agree with Anne and Haven. Focus is the key to stopping this type of behaviour and finding what it is thats ets the dog off. It can often be that the barking is geting them what they want that makes it so worth their while. I have seen many dogs start to associate corrections with poeple or other dogs so you need to be careful when and how they are delivered. If he demanding your attantion too then this is something else that needs to be addressed I would also suggest you call in a professional to help sort it out

Hi sam Poor bugger that stuff is shocking to get rid of isnt it. connor sends lots of loving healing licks to sooth those sore spots. Hope he's back to normal soon yb

what no shelties lol yb

i tought only certain breeds can compete in schutzhund yb

Hi guys ahh thast what i like to see eeryone gting together to wrk hard and learn those lessons lol i hope thast your plan none of this socialising stuff heheheh. I might see if Kathy wants to bring Wendy down for a spin Wendy needs to spend some time with other dogs yb

hi guys Last night was another great night with a couple of newbies which added to the fun. anne and simone go to the head of the class for practising lol. Nah you all have improved so much and the dogs were a lot more settled last night. My hubby fell in love with chelsea thought she was such a sweete was ready to take her home lol. Your al doing such a great job and its starting to show through your dogs yb

Thanks Anne its so nice to get such positive feedback i was really nervous about last night . Jake is wonderful he is so full of life and very smart i think you will go a long way with him Toby is soo cute and smart hes a real credit to your family Banjo is such a gentlean you can see how hard work and dedication to your dog pays off Skye has such good attention with time that will be a real assest for you being demanding when channelled makes for a good student Chelsea a dog with a love for life so enthusiastic for everything once this is channele she'll be unstoppable wendy has such an air of importance about her she shows off so well judges will find it hard to not look at her Hm goldie Chesea is young but did i hear Jake say beautiful might have to keep an eye on those two Jen

Next week will be the week to make his move Connor will be staying at home coz i will need two hands free lol. BLue suit ohh she'll like that maybe hang some bells of it she likes those lol Dont they always want whatthey cant have the dogtht ignores them can often become the most important thing to pay with lol. there is a lesson to be learnt in that if we gus over our dogs then the dont need to try hard to get our attention

You guys are an instructors dream your all keen trainers have great senses of humour and all think outside the square. thanks for letting me show you some of the things i do wit my dogs im having a ball yb

hi LL connor has just turned nine months old How old are your children again if they want to take on some of the training encourage it the stuf we did last night is great for kids as its easy to learn and fun. On week four when we are going through all the tricks you are more than welcome to bring them along if they want to watch and participate with Toby. It will be a fun week for kids to join in on and i thinks its important to encourage them to get involved with their dogs and tricks are the best way to do that yb

Haha you mock me thy Hedds but we will be on our best manners and there is chocolaes and other sweet delicacies involved. One of the main places i train is at the local coffee shop thast when it not from the armchair lol and to do so it is important that we and our dogs have nice manners so we will be welcomed back each week

Hi jen thankyou im glad you enjoyed it and Chelsea is sooo sweet shes just a typical pup everything in the world looks like fun. te thing with a dog like that is though she seems so distracted now as she matures she wil become more and more ocused on you and will have this lovely im sohappy bounce about everything she does I thought everyone was amazing talk about great trainers you all bring something different to the group im looking forward to getting to know you all better over the coming weeks Sam hope you got your trees sorted out i have some notes for you oh and eah person in the group has a trck to go off and thnk about work out how to train and on week foru we will all take turns in showing everyone what we found It doesnt metter if the dogs arent doing the tricks its the techniques and ideas that areinteresting so you gt Walking backwards to teach Heidi Have fun with it Next week will be all about manners and socialistion yb

hi Mik well i made it through your post and i sgree wholeheartedly with what you say. I have my concerns for the stoc too though fortunatel my little sheltie isnt going to throw too many sheep to the ground he can still stress them out and i am being very careful with this hence why im reading up on sheep behaviour lol I havent been to a working sheep dog trial but have had the oppurtunity to see dogs working cattle and sheep in real life situations its hard work and it takes an amazing dog to do it I have not even thought of ANKC as being anything like real life working dogs those dogs and handlers are a breed of their own Having said that i loved the workshop i went to the idea of working with my dog and the sheep in a different capacity to obedience and the like it was amazing It bought the country bred girl back to the surface lol I will probaby never be in a position to own land but am enjoying learning about herding and about sheep and other livestock its made me do a lot of thinking about teaching animals in general and how best to work with them

Ok well it musnt have sent then lol anyway we've confirmed so will see you all WEdnesday
