Tiggy

I've started teaching Banjo to back with me in front stepping towards him but I'm not sure how to teach it in heel position. I watched some you tube videos but would like to hear how you guys teach it. Also should he learn the elephant trick(front feet on the phonebook) first?

Will the treats always go hard in the dehydrator or can you get soft ones to?

I'm thinking about getting a food dehydrator for dog treats but was wondering is it worth getting one or could I use the oven instead. I want treats that are still softish not crunchy. I was looking at the Ezidri Snackmaker Dehydrator.

Wow Ed loves his tug. Looks like your hubby was getting puffed out . Was that Molly wondering around in the background ?

Yay for more Staffords in the obedience ring .

My friend who shows her Labrador and is good friends with her breeder feels the same about chocolates as we do about blue Staffords.

Are you looking at Queensland breeders? If so Magicmine and Vannay are DOL members.

Yep stay away from the blue breeders.

Great work shoemonster .

I hear you about club training being too long and repetitive.

Why don't you take the frisbee to your club training. It's no different to using tug toys etc. Just work on that release like Huski said .

Oh my poor kitty cats .

Poor Ed he'll be embarrassed now .

I'm going to order some more books/dvds from Dogwise, want to help me choose . Have any other sugguestions? Thanks .

Love the Frenchies .

Love this photo .

Beautiful pics .

This drive talk is going way over my head :D .

Kenzie. Great photos.

Go Ed . Banjo would have to dock dive in a life jacket . I loved the flyball the best. I hope we get a flyball club in Perth .

Don't forget a Stafford . Short coat, little cute rosebud ears and they love their food to , plus we need more in the obedience ring.

shoemonster had the link to Callicoma for the plastic dumbbells .

I've ordered the normal wood dumbbell in hardwood instead of pine. I'll see how that goes.

Yeah Banjo leaves tooth marks to. I might try wood and plastic to see if he has a preference. What size plastic dumbbell do you use for Ed shoemonster?
