Tiggy

Phew we thought you couldn't remember your own birthday

Walking and training, will probably get a shorter one for trials, you know which one I want ness .

Ptolomy I'm terrible for spending a lot of money on my dogs. If it was something for me I'd say $90 I'm not paying that but for the dogs I have blinkers on . Lucky I don't have 7 hey .

Pinky has good taste

I'm very tempted to get my dogs leather collars and leads from K9 pro, they have a special on get the collar and super premium lead for $90. I think I want the 4ft leads. I hold the lead in one hand on walks and most of my training is off lead. Why do most people tend to like 6ft leads? I find them too long and get tangled up . By the way ness don't laugh at me .

Love your new signature TerraNik

By the way huski Banjo can be very noisy to so I'll be interested in how you go with training Daisy. Banjo is so impatient that when he's in the car and we pull up somewhere I can't even get the key out before he starts yodeling .

My dogs haven't done a group stay for two years probably due to me giving up training then getting back into it last year. I don't like to spend too much time on stays, I know before we trial I'll need to train solid group stays, but for now I make it really easy for them to get it right every time and I'm leaving it at that. I am working on steady feet. On a different topic in one of my obedience books it talks about progressive classes - which is dogs at different levels in the same class. My new club has a really small obedience turnout maybe 5 dogs at different levels and I'm really loving the class. Love to watch the more advanced people but also the beginners as it reminds me to reward 'easy' exercises to and I just love that we can all help each other .

No not yet I've been good . I have a bad habit of booking my credit card up with doggy purchases so I'm trying to actually save for things .

She'll need to get the matching special green collars to

Hey look Ptolomy 'apple green' from Blackdog. Good colour for your red kids . http://www.blackdog.net.au/index.php?page=...rt&Itemid=5

Blackdog has a new colour 'apple green'. I like it - will suit my Sophie . http://www.blackdog.net.au/index.php?page=...rt&Itemid=5

The club valleyCBR and I go to is going to be holding Rally classes after the seminar as the Instructor has done the Canadian Rally and wants to make sure she's teaching us right .

Two of the Instructors are sick and the wet weather although I don't think it's raining now, I can't be bothered poking my head outside to check .

'Boo' agility training was canceled tonight and it wasn't on last Monday due to the public holiday so it feels like ages since we've been. Banjo's not too upset he's fast asleep on the lounge . I might set my weaves up tomorrow .

Last night the 'stand' fairy must have come because today Sophie nailed the stand each time, she had been getting confused and sitting, I hope the fairy comes to visit Banjo to .

It should be a pleasure for you to

How annoying .

I'll be there

UM - This will make 6 for me - but soon I will be living with my mums two tollers too - Dekka, who is Scoota brother and the untrained feral Chevy who is Bean's brother. Makes life interesting and there is never a need for extra blankets with all the kids on the bed If you don't mind me asking what area is your new house? I'm daydreaming that you're moving close to me and I can watch you train your red kids .

Congratulations Ptolomy on your little man. What a little cutie . How many dogs does that make it now or have you lost count .

Well done amypie and Kyzer . It wasn't that long a go you were nervous about entering your first trial and now you're a pro .

Great idea flyingduster

I'd say the verbal then pause a bit before the hand signal, eventually you'll do them together. I changed my drop hand signal by getting them to drop on the verbal then introducing the new hand signal.

Yay for Mille . She looked great at that last practice trail so I'm not surprised she did so well .
