haha that heaps good, was the car spacious when you where in there with a dane haha Bit confused why they changed the colour of his nose and removed spots as when he is in the car he has his pink/black nose and his ears are down aswell ? yet in the other they are up and airbrushed hah

get in contact with the council to change registration details and chip details, and also notify the vets of change of address.

Exercised Induced Collapse In Kelpie
BMAK replied to Kelpie-i's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
haven't heard of that in kelpies either?? One of my kelpies get a bit heat exhasuted after exercise and takes a while to cool down, due to breathing problems, he always jumps in the pool and basically lays on the cold grounds until recovered from a long 1 hr "chuck it stick" run what types of exercise does the dog do this with ? maybe you can try more mental stimulation, and controlled on leash walks for short amounts of time but regular through out the day/morning/afternoon for a while and see if that changes anything. surely your vet should know some symptoms of how to stop/help fix the problem or determine why ? -
My Father's new neighbours have recently moved in next door a middle age couple with 3 kids who are young they also brought their old blind and practically all deaf J/R. Kenny is so sweet and doesn't really know he is blind he doesn really well on vibrations and smells haha he wonders back and forth from its home around dinnner and breakie then travels to my dads to spend all day there sleeping in the sun in the cat's bed outside, has a few run in with the deck chairs but copes really well travels along the foot path back to it's home, and manages to do this everyday and has only been there for a month in the new surroundings, my dad doesn't mind nor do the neighbours as they are full time workers building their house and my father enjoys the company, as he is home alot and treats it like his own. so there is hope that it will cope

Sh.t how big is your dog!! omg thats enough to wash your dog for a year almost haha Anyway i use about a 50 cent piece worth of aloveen on my kelpie's double coat, leave it on for a few minutes not the suggested 10 minutes, rinse it off, then follow up with a quick bio groom cond.. for a few seconds then rinse it off aswell. and if they go for a swim in the ocean/pool/lake they justs gets rinsed off straight away. They rarley get blow dried unless we go to the groomers DIY wash n dry, as the heat dries out the skin, but i will normally dry around her tail and spine and leave the rest to dry naturally. if i notice my dogs coat is looking filthy covered in mud, and dirt they will get a full bath and good towel dry then just to get dirty again

i hate dogs that hump, it is them normally trying to dominate. My girl will stand there sometimes and other times she will warn them by snapping the air towards them.

BMAK replied to jackie_a1's topic in General Dog Discussion

Dog Will Fetch Dumbell, But No Other Object With High Value
BMAK replied to BMAK's topic in Dog Tricks
i would like to do a formal retrieve with the tug toy as in sit, wait send,etc but i think that could be my problem with the squeeky toys as she will just laydown and squeek the toy and if i were to incourage her along she will drop it as she can't play tug with it as a formal retrieve. she doesn't play keep away but will not do the "fetch hold give" in a sit position infront of me she just refuses to open her mouth or touch the tug unless she knows it is "fun time exercise complete" might fiddle around to day with the clicker and shaping today as that is what my other dog is taught but different kettle of fish with toys. -
Shaping A Dog To Walk Backwards
BMAK replied to leopuppy04's topic in Training / Obedience / Dog Sports
my guys naturally walk back on their own accord (being stalking kelpies) which is frustrating when you want them to come to you haha I was also going to mention the food between their legs but i am not sure if they would offer a bow to get it or even lay down if that is how you may teach change of position by putting the food infront of their legs then again you would be throwing it not lureing. May i ask why you are shaping this with no cue to walk backwards when they can do so on heel? sounds like a lot of effort haha, you must have patience i bet! lol Good luck ! -
Free advertising i guess, emails are free and so is chat! nothing to loose ahha and easier upkeep then a website even though FB is not the nicest looking site. it does the jobs of showing off your breed/s and photos videos and sharing.
-
maybe teaching "sore paw" where they lift there paw out and hold it like it is sore when sitting and teach it to them when standing ? not the same look but similar hahaha that would be hard to teach as they probably are not awear of what you are clicking for but more for focus for kelpies anyway.

My girl brandy will fetch, hold, give, Wooden dumbell, and rolled newspaper and will also perform the retieve exercise with both, but.. Anything that she knows has a high value to her she will not fetch/retieve which frustrates me as i don't always bring her dumbell to class but always have a small tug on hand or similar toy. HIGH VALUE: Tug toy, Squeeky dumbell, lead and tennis balls. She fails to fetch any of the above obejects listed because she knows that they are a reward for obedience where as the wooden dumbell, has always been my object for retieve in which she is not allowed to play with. i have tried to do the clicker elimination with these objects but she is just see's them as her fun toys that she can do what ever with. Is there a way to teach her to fetch these items???
