Thanks for sharing TSD...Love watching your training

Fantastic score kallistar..have done the 1 point thing in Novice..hurts losing that 1 point ;)

Yes, there are some stunning dogs coming through CCD and Novice over here Ness..guess you haven't seen them work??? But yes, we all aspire to have our dogs work like Ptolomy's and Bedazzled's..wait tiil Zac gets out there

I hear they had hail...Cider got 2 CDX passes and Scoota won UD

No jinxing..her dogs are awesome.. ;)

Our favourite tug has rabbit fur intertwined with polarfleece...they are from the US...but Snazz is happy to tug anything

I'm sure you'll do well judging by how the guys have been training ;)

Thanks Huski... actually like these... http://www.agilityclick.com/prod12.htm but is does depend on your dog.

What is an appropriate material?

Aw, how cute!!! Shaping is fun!!! Snazz retrieved a pair of scissors, a 6 pack of My Dog and a stuffed Wubba Toy tonight. Just love shaping

Well done Vickie and Trim! Snazz wants to know how his sis went? :D

It does appear that way, doesn't it??

Crikey..it's getting serious!!

Love this video. It shows how to make Obedience training fun.

So you'd recommend the DVD then? I'm looking for some more foundation stuff to do with the new pup that I never did with my two. Started watching Success With One Jump the other night and thought it looked good! But I need some real puppy type stuff. Pup is almost 9 weeks old Mary Ellen Barry's DVD is excellent.

I thought I could smell an Aussie brain frying It will all be worth it in the end :D

Would that involve a toy dropped as you turn??? BC brain was fried that day the Guru dropped that one on us...brilliant though

I just hide one thing...and their job is to find that...why show them, they are using their nose? My cue is "find". You are getting all formal again RS...just play the game! :D

I play the game "findies" with my guys..very informal and and just hide anything with your scent on it be it in the house or in the yard. I hide the object and grab the collar (remember the Sue H collar grab to gee them up) and ask "are you gonna do Findies"...they go ballistic and tear off to find the object. "Findies" is my cue for SB in the ring. What you're doing in the yard sounds spot on to me :D With this as a foundation it won't take long to get a formal SB down the track (pardon the pun). I think forget all the formalities and worrying about how this will affect that...just make it fun and your dogs will respond to that more than anything :D :D

Good post SD

More success today..that Wagon wheel ex works a treat! After doing that exercise before each session, our DR is deadly I wish I had done that a lot earlier. Certainly a lightbulb moment for the BC ;) Thanks again.

Love your sense of humour...I can see BC brains exploding SD I'm with the BC :D Oh, and idiot that I am wrote 45 degrees instead of 90 Ah yeah, I knew what you meant

Love your sense of humour...I can see BC brains exploding SD

Certainly will keep at it and increase the distance..thinking the gloves will need a toy in them to get a good throwing distance. I like to have a good foundation on every exercise and I can see a good end result with this exercise...thanks again. :D ps Sue suggested 8 dummies up to 100 metres away, or you can have 4 dummies (12/3/6/9 oclock) at 50 metres away and fill in the gaps with another 4 dummies at 100 metres .....uh yeah I'll stick to this for awhile :D
