Funny thing, I had that problem too!!, for a lot of the time while training I stood over him and held him steady but thats probably not the best idea, we just had to learn it for obedience!! not a comp

I find class tiring and I'm only 15!! and poor snoopy, they make us work for a full hour straight because we are in a 'stablizing' class not in beginner class

I always knew snoopy was a nutter heres his thing Prey = 25 Pack = 45 Defense - Fight = 55 Defense - Flight = 40

HURRAY for Vickie! YAY for TRIM!! that is amazing, I've never met a dog so focoused like Trim, she just puts her heart and soul into pleasing you, lucky ducks!

Really nice, she is a lovely dog

Darn, we need the extra training! OH well :sigh:

where are you guys located!

I have a small set of equipment, old broom handels over garden edging, an ikea play tunnel and several tomato stakes, curtain rods are great as well!

Yay for Vickie, It was a brilliant run, ceck out the photos forummif anyone wants to see piccies, it's called Agility Photos Galour (I think) I got alot of sun and finding it hard to remember everything I say/write

We give our dog the chunckers that you get in the super market in the fresh pet food and we like them, except they smell like garlic but pet meat is pretty good!

snoopy does both, when we at obedince school always on the left, but at home on our walks he naturally walking on the right

Well, I thought this might be a bit of a challenge for snoopy but he has it, after 3 days! except as soon as I move my hand he stops 'bowing' but now he has a trick for the doctor harry day.

when I got my little monster, he was scraggly and thin and his coat was terrible, he gets 1 cooking size cup of supercoat each day with his chucker meat and he has improved beyond all belief, that is a good brand of food which is inexpensive with types for all sorts of dogs, I believe there is a puppy sort, Hope that helps Sam + Snoopy =)

YOU GO! G D LUCK!

I wanna go, Is that the dog sport trials

Well, back to the original topic 'what do you do with them' My neighbour has a border collie X Kelpie (coal) who I think they were saying they got him off a farm. And before I got snoopy I used to walk him alot and we used to do everything, mostly fetch and agility on the play equipment. He loves to just be out there and in the world doing doggie things, Christmas came and he decides to be a good sport and dress up. I was planning to do agility with him excpet I now have my own dog whom I need to work with so that idea went down the toilet. But being a working dog he loves to do anything especially run, the thing that gets me most is that he doesn't know when to stop and have a rest. Anyway attached below is the photo from christmas hope you like it!

Amazing! look at them go!

Well, Even though I only just got my own dog I've been walking them for ages, I feel that my training has changed I mean before I went to pieces as soon as the dog growled or another dog growled at it, but now I can regain control and deal with the problem, I love the experience I've gained!

That is AMAZING! and from such a young dog! Well done!

Well I'm not sure on all of that :D but I do know that for a clapsed tunnel as in the one with a closed end, you can get a cheap out door bin (a round one) and attach a rather large bed sheet the whole way round the othre opening and that should do the trick. Also you can generally buy cheap tunnels that you usually find in the children's foldable playsets, I think you buy thoese separtly but I wouldn't reccomend it for the larger breeds like german shepherds and GDanes ect as I thin they only come in one or two different sizes but you know it's your choice! H :D pe that helped Sam

Hey I was wondering how does everyone here keep their dogs coat nice and glossy, I heard that raw eggs and olive oil are good ideas but i thought I ask some experts! So what do you think ?
