Can anyone recommend a good obedience class near me. I have looked at the websites for Messy PawZ, Berwick K-9iQ, Pro K9 and would like to know others opinions. I'm planning on calling each place tomorrow but was wondering what success or otherwise others have had. Thanks

Thanks every one for your replies. Berwick it is :)

I have found 3 obedience clubs in my local area (Berwick VIC) and was wondering if anyone has experience (good and bad) with any of them. I had decided to go to Berwick as it was very affordable compaired to the others but I was not that happy with it the last time I went. the 3 in my area are: 1. Berwick Obedience Club 2. Training Offered at Vets- Woof Per Nah 3. Berwick K-9 IQ Thanks in advance for any help.

thank you all for your replys, very much appreciated. Having more accidents at the moment as she stuggles outside in the heat (flops in the shade and wont move), just have to keep going and hope the hot weather goes away so our pup can go to the toilet outside :laugh:

Just wondering how long it could take to toilet train our 8 1/2 week cocker spaniel puppy? We take her out after each meal and every time she wakes up and so far we only miss 1 or 2 wees a day. I am not bothered how long it takes, but would like an idea on what to expect. thanks

I had a job interview at an employment agency this morning and one of their employees brings her kelpie to work every day. It got me thinking how many other people take their dogs to work with them?

I was at Knox shoppinc centre yesterday and the pet shop there has a similar sign. I was having a cuddle of a ragdoll kitten (to test to see if I had any allergic reations) and asked about the purebred kittens papers. They dont give them out as they cannot give out the breeders details plus you get to pay double the price for the privallige

Our vet gave us a 10% discount when we took 2 pets in for imunization. I dont know if that happens if you take 2 pets in for enything else.

Thank you, that made my day

We have just purchased a holded rodeo duel cab. My OH thinks its for us building our house but actually I want it for when I get my dogs

I understand your pain. I had to PTS my Golden at the start of the year and it was horrible. I remember driving somewhere a few months later and seeing a man walking his Golden and I burst into tears in the car . At the time I new it was not possible to get another dog because we were about to move onto our block whilst we build. Our block is fenced on 3 sides and the front fence is just temporary builders fencing. There is no trees or garden for shade and once we get into the swing of things, no time for training. My brain know this is not the time to buy a pup but my heart just does not care! Thankfully my head wins each time I get close to looking for a pup. Just keep reminding yourself that you are doing the right thing, bringing a pup home right now is far too dangerous and the wait will be worth it in the end!

Keep your dogs indoor bedding washed, try vases of fresh flowers that smell nice or lots of scented candles (which is what Sunnyflower said, I just got distracted and took too long to post )

and they dont get "really friendly" with your guests ;)

Thanks everyone for your advice. My head says kitten but my heart says puppy or else!. I'm going to do something I dont normally do and agree with my head and get the kitten first.
