just wondering, how do/should the puppy preschool teacher correct this behaviour?

thanks for the info guys, i really appreciate ;)

thanks for your help, im still having trouble do all breeds shows mean ALL breeds with be there? :D oh and roughstock i am interested and checking out the beautiful staffies (and amstaffs) do they get shown at the same shows? i also travelling to newcastle quite a bit, do they still have shows at the doggie place there (hillsborough-i think). sorry lol i've got no idea

thanks guys im looking at terriers and working dogs (are the terriers separated into different sections?) sorry i know nothing about shows

thanks so much for the reply. it might be the internet but i cant download the guide ;) are there any shows in august?

hey guys just wondering if anyone could help me out. i am looking to possibly add to my family ;) and have a few breeds im interested in, so i was thinking the best way to make a final decision would be to touch base with some breeders and meet some of the dogs. so if anyone knows of any dog shows in the sydney area because im having a hard time finding them on the net :p thanks

thanks everyone i shall look into it and see how we go i've been reluctant to go to one before as my mum had a very bad experience :D however i am willing to do whatever it takes for us to be able to go on ENJOYABLE morning walks.

hi guys (i have already posted this in the general dog discussion ) new poster here, was wondering if i could get some tips.... i have a beautiful mini schnauzer, who i love to bits. he has a wonderful nature and is a credit to his breeder. However when we go on walks he gets extremely excitable and barks, he also pulls. i have tried many suggestions by trainers, vets etc such as haltis, harnesses, food rewards but so far nothing has worked for long. he is a highly trainable dog as even through his excitment and excessive barking he still sits and waits to get his lead clipped on and sits and waits at roads. i have discouraged the "excitment" of a walk by not talking to him, just getting him to sit(to get his lead on) but that hasnt helped either. i feel terrible because i cannot walk him in the mornings (as i would like to as the neighbours would kill me) and sometimes i am too exhausted at night to take him out (and get my arm ripped off), so he has to miss out so any ideas i am willing to give it a go! also looking into getting him some training (would have to be one on one as i dont think he could concentrate with other dogs arnd). so was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of good trainers in newcastle area? (and possibly an approx price i would be looking at) thankyou

opps

thankyou. no i havent been to any obeidence classes as he would just bark at the other dogs so it would have to be private classes. can anyone recommend anyone in the hunter valley area? (will post this in the training topic as well. thanks again

hi guys dogs are allowed off leash at redhead bch (after the 2nd creek away from the flags) newcastle. it is a great spot as it is a long stretch of bch and u will always find a spot for yourself.
