Mason_Gibbs

No he only does it to some pups and never to an older dog. My older dog is a very soft submissive dog but he is the boss of the puppy - for now.

My pup started pup school last week and he has met a few friends vaccinated dogs. When other puppies take the play too far or get in his face for too long he makes a warning noise, not a growl but almost like a sharp bark - snarl. Now i have only ever had a very aggressive dog and then my other lab and he will let anyone do anything to him and never tell other dogs off. So i guess what i want to know is it normal for a pup to tell other pups off??

It was even better in the flesh

COOL!!! I am going on monday as my friend wants to see the Chi's and I have no one to go with on saturday so I may as well go monday. So what time will the chi's be on and is the obedience the whole day??

Welcome to my world - Saturday nights State Champs and my OC dog picks that night to forget what SFE means, not once but twice. Just as well he got his UDX otherwise he might have had to walk home without sharing my cheese and bacon balls :rofl:

Great news about Mindy, my 2 both send licks

I must say I have a soft spot for Corgi's there is one that does trial classes at our club and it is lovely!!!

LOts of clubs have training on week nights

My pup took ages to loose his canines he had the baby ones for ages next to the adult ones but eventually they did come out

Cant wait until Gibbs has had his 12 week vac, im going to bring him down for a couple of show lessons on a thurs night

Thanks Tiggy

That is what my vet said to me as Mason was also lowish on Distemper but he wasnt concerned enough to revac as it wasnt low enough to warrent it.

Aww Tiggy please can i have the crate games dvd? I had a copy, leant it out and never got it back and i cant remember who i leant it to!! Will take the tunnel too if you dont mind want to get Gibbs used to it

RS i was watching most of it last night and having a chuckle, she looked extremely happy and at the end of thd day a happy dog in the ring is what i want Amypie i have used Ziggy for Mason as a pup when he had folloculitis and blocked tear ducts from it, she is very reasonably priced, think it was $80 first consult and $35 for follow ups and she is so professional!

There are 4 sundays of retrieving training in april i think it is - and then training days here and there throughout the year. Its a sport where you train mostly on your own or with people near to you. Your dog has to be a registered gundog to compete in trials at this stage

Chicko there is obedience, tracking, retrieving, dancing with dogs... Have i forgotten any??

Great night tonight!! Mason passed his the first novice trial we entered even though i had not done much training lately with him so i am that pleased!!! Well done to Ptolomy, Bedazzled, Rubystar and Mirawee, great work from all your dogs

I like Canidae, my older dog gets stomach upsets on Kibble but he is fine on Canidae...the pup is eating Royal Canin junior but i will probably feed Canidae when he is older. Mine get raw meat and bones as well!!!

I only paid $70 i think here in WA to titre

Hang in there Mindy

Well done again guys it was a night i will always remember. I know what you mean Katie, i am so proud of Mason ( first dog i have trained) half the time i have no idea what im doing and its a matter of try this and see if it works 13 years ago when i got my ridgebacks i knew that i wanted to compete in dog sports but unfortunatly it did not happen, with Mason it has and just the fact that i got him in the ring was a huge achievement for me....

Everyone did so so well.... And my poor Mas who has been neglected lately due to puppy toilet training got his first novice pass tonight, i am well pleased with him!!!

Joelle how is your new baby going??

My new puppy was reluctant to drop but i persevered and rewarded each step and now at 11 weeks he will drop with a food lure. Dont give up - take both dogs to training or if you really only want to take one, take the 1 who wont drop as she needs it most!!

Canidae grain free salmon works great for my 1 dog.
