  1. Has anyone seen the latest free shipping? I've always wanted one of these harnesses so I can put an 'in training' patch on it
  2. Am I the only one looking forward to doing all this again? Lol
  3. A lot of what you saw would have probably been 'Staffies'..... byb mutts of bull breed origin, usually brindle Unfortunately the same happens here
  4. Yeah I did lol, I can't wait to use them!!! (it will be a while considering I don't currently have an agility dog lmao)
  5. Its here its here its here!!! My box is HUGE!!! its as tall as my shoulder lol
  6. It's here!!!! Cept didn't hear the bell and now I have to rearrange a delivery from Australia post XL parcel delivery
  7. haha lol, good to know Guess its obvious that I'm a boy dog virgin lol
  8. Mine was shipped on 19/12...hopefully soon!!!
  9. I've never had a male before, so I apologise if its extremely obvious lol, but this concerned me this morning He keeps developing these 'lumps' either side of his penis, you can sort of see it in the photo just below the hairy bit....the 'lumps' were a lot bigger this morning, I've only noticed them today, but they do disappear and reappear from what I can see So...normal or not? I'm kinda guessing its a gland, but I know he had a retained testicle when he was desexed, so I guess I'm second guessing myself lol
  10. I believe you can report the ad, on Gumtree only registered breeders can sell pups for more than $500
  11. I am quite sure she does all of Brissy GG Ta, thinking about getting her out to assess the new addition... There is a bit of tension between him and Tess and id rather nip it in the bud early
  12. Sorry to hijack, but does anyone know if Jane Harper comes to Brisbane Southside?
  13. Good on her...starts to balance out her support for PETA
  14. Lol, yeah it's hard to know what should be a priority in his training
  15. Hi Ness1409 Yep. Its all very confusing. What you have to do is register you dogs with your local council. They will update the microchip details on the Qld registry. If you move to NSW then you will have to register the dogs again with the council from the area you are living in and they will update the microchip details. However, if you are travelling then the last recorded registry will need contact details. This is how it works in NSW, but here in QLD the council registration has nothing to do with the microchip, you actually have to do it separately I wish there was just one national register, that would make life SOOOO much easier
  16. Thanks for the advice guys We are currently crate training him, thankfully it seems he has been crated before, because he relaxes when we lock him in, I just need to work on building value so he will be keen to go in, but we're working on it TOT and NILIF I'll have to go onto K9 Pros website and download them, thanks He doesn't seem terribly toy driven, so if we give him a toy, he generally won't chew it or play with it...I think he must have never had access to toys in the past LAT, I do have a copy of controlled unleashed, Ill have to dig it out, I forgot about that game! I do have a tab lead somewhere, so Ill dig it out and stick that on his collar, and use that to redirect him instead of touching him when he has jumped on us, thanks for the idea I was already thinking along the lines of 'redirecting' behaviour rather than 'stopping' it, I just couldn't think of how to put it in writing lol That letter from Steve is awesome, I'm a big fan of his methods, so I'm glad he has written that He is settling well, in fact he is getting so comfortable he decided that I didn't need my phone OR laptop charger today...whoopsie
  17. Me and OH adopted a 5 month old ACDx a week ago, when we got him the RSPCA warned us that he is a mouther, and he is a jumper, but while he isn't as bad as they made out, this is something I want to stop sooner rather than later He does jump up on us, mostly when we're sitting, now we don't mind him sitting on the lounge (by invitation) with us if he is going to sit quietly, which sometimes he does, but it he is worked up, we just push him off and ignore him or ask him to sit...how should we be discouraging this? he spent his whole life on a tether 24/7 until now, and he just craves attention As for the mouthing, he will nip at our feet or heels (that ACD in him I guess) and he also seems to get mouthy if he gets frustrated ie we push him off the chair, he gets back up, we push him off, he gets back up and starts mouthing us if we go to push him off again...I can see we're getting nowhere with that, so thats why I'm asking for advice on here He is walking on lead nicely, which I'm impressed with, the 'I'm a tree' method seems to be working when he does start to pull He also hasn't been well socialised, he is friendly, but does react to other dogs, he will bark like crazy and his hackles stand up, am I right to work him just outside his threshold and do basic training with him to get him used to working in a distracting environment? That seems to be working, but how should I go about introducing him to strange dogs? I think I've finally convinced OH that he is NOT going to an offleash park This is my first older pup, and my first working dog, so its all new for me, but I don't want to make big mistakes with him either lol Oh, and the mandatory photo
  18. Email them and ask for it... thats what I did I got the email that afternoon. RS already did...and she basically got told to shut up, sit down and wait patiently for it to arrive I think someone had a severe case of PMS that day
  19. I guess we could always ask clean run to remove treats before sending the toys...of course it would mean opening the package, but if you ask them I don't see why it should be an issue...its still cheaper than buying it here, and beats having the whole toy confiscated because of the treats it came with
  20. I had a friend in the US send my a small packet of treat once, and they got taken away
  21. How long does it usually take them to ship the order? mine has said 'being processed' since I placed it on 9/12...I'm getting worried they will suddenly email me saying it's too big and they will take things out...and now its too late to place a second order
  22. Its looking like I'll have to take Lexi off BH, since being on it she has been getting itchy and biting at her sides, but she definitely has no fleas, so I'm starting to wonder if its the food...her coat has also been pretty oily and dull since changing her
  23. they changed the parents names No, the breeder had two litters on the ground, they thought there wasn't a pup available from the parents Talien originally chose, so they offered her a pup from the other litter, at pick up they told her the pup was coming from the original parents as one had become available to her
