WHAT?!?!! No disasters this week?!?! Ok.... FINE! I'll share mine...... AGAIN! Well - apparently my previously good herding dog (read, we herd about once a year....) doesn't know what sheep are there for and they MUST be some sort of weird distraction training that mum is trying to trick me with.... LOL! Kinta just wouldn't herd on Saturday . Leo did very well though

Oh hang on..... I didn't know we were congratulating cripples!!! can I take mine back?!?!?

Just keep an eye on the thread, and let us know if you can make it......then everyone knows who to look out for :p ETA: LP! S'n'T! Back on topic you two Leave us alone!!! Tis a good topic that :p Hey SnT - what are your Amazon books like?!?!!?

Ummmm I'm on the 2nd disc where Logan comes over for a quick trip...he has just left again. Who did you have giving you the seminar if you don't mind me asking? (Just interested to know). Mel. Mel - it was run by one of our instructors at club, about what she learnt, got out of the Linda Orton Hill seminar over Easter and how she was to incorporate it into our training at club . Teehee - what do you think of it so far?!?! What's happening with L/L & Chris?! I ask coz if I say "have you seen" i'm going to give something away no doubt!

:) GO NESS!!!!! Glad she ran well for someone else, but good on her for getting those passes!!! Can she send some of that passing style down here for Leo?!?! Time to change the siggie now :) Now rest that ankle!

Yes Ness.... Spill!!! I mean c'mon - only a short sms... I want details, vids etc,etc

hmm... the 24th show is Caulfield - so I'll assume it's at the showgrounds. There are some lovely parks around Royal Pde near uni that we could use perhaps?!?!??! PM would suit me fine

Sounds good Jules - I too would love to do a run through with both pups on that April weekend, and I can finally show you 2x2 also! Susan saw Kinta's weaving today and we were both impressed (she just weaved 12 poles and we were only up to 6 in training !)

Saturday 3rd - nope - ASCV open show Sunday 4th - nope Keilor NADAC trial Saturday 10th - Yes for Me and Leo Sunday 11th - Yes for Me and Leo (PM only) Saturday 17th - Maybe for me, No for Kinta Sunday 18th - No - Berwick double obedience trial Saturday 24th - Maybe for me (and Leo), No for Kinta Sunday 25th - Maybe - also Mornington Obedience trial... Saturday 31st - No Sunday 1st - No Enter difficult LP who can't ever make a date For the 24th/ 17th PM will suit me better... shows in the AM ETA - what about ANZAC day weekend - on the Sunday?!?!?

OMG DD!!!! THANK DOG they are both ok!!!!!! What a scare!

ROFL SnT - I've watched it all already - I couldn't STAND the wait and got it over Amazon for about $30- $40 AUD when it first came out!!!! Let me know what you think of it, what you are up to!!! I'm a GG FREAK! ROFL! So sorry I didn't get to chat for long other than a fleeting wave as everybody walked past! I hope everyone had fun and I want to participate PROPERLY next time . The agility seminar was fantastic and it was just too good to step out of My guys had some fun in obedience (and rain) this morning and considering how busy their day was yesterday, they performed well. Kinta didn't have rockets flying up her butt, which helps as she works better and Leo was good, although a bit too antsy to get on with it... little blighter is going on judges commands at times now .... somehow I *don't* think we'll be getting this pass at croydon either!!! ROFL! I've been told however that if I don't enter Kinta at Berwick at the end of May, my instructor is going to come and slap me silly Sooo....TSD - when's the next meet?!?!?!

Congrats to all you superdogs of late!!! Brag of my own.... Kinta now weaves 12 poles :dummy: Oh - and i've also been told (again) to get my butt into gear and enter her into obedience CCD already..... gaaah - stupid nerves keep making me pull out at the last minute

yup same here - sort of infront or to the left of me... don't really mind so long as they don't pull me over Their leads tangle sometimes, but in all honesty, both have been very easy to walk in one hand and together

Nah not you - i'm sick of you Haven will be good to see you again too!!

I'll try and show you coz I really, really want to meet you all

I agree with this in relation to my dogs PF, but I do know that for other dogs it doesn't phase them in the slightest, hence why I mentioned it Just more food for thought Best of luck Reddii!

me, me - i'm in :kissbetter:

What do you do when he knocks a bar? I know a lot of people drop their dogs immediately - but I tend to find this sometimes can be counter productive, particularly with super, super high drive dogs because they've already done about 5 other jumps so *what* exactly were they dropped for One thing that was mentioned to me is that if your dog knocks a bar, you stop immediately saying something like "whoops" and put the bar back up. Go back to 2-4 bars before THAT one that they knocked and start the sequence from there again... IF they get it right, reward IMMEDIATELY. It's almost as though you are acknowledging that they got it right this time round. After the reward (food or whatever) you continue with the course. For my dogs, who are pretty sensitive and slow down if they think they got anything wrong, this seems to work for them (so far... it's a new concept for us!!!)

OK guys I'll try and join you all - if not to train, to have a bit of a chat and maybe show you the 2x2 method..... otherwise, we just *might* have to organise yet another meet!! We all know TSD did such a good job at organising this one, we can count on her to organise another too :D Haven - please come - would love to see you and your guys again .... there are no standards that you have to be to come training

It usually turns out to be a bit of both Haven . Some chatter and a bit of training in-between

Yup - I'll try and join up with you lot later if that's ok... yeah you've got the right spot Jules

Jules - don't be unimpressed - it's only for those that are trialling at CDODC, or thinking of instructing (agility)..... which I don't think you are... as you are only going through the modules . TSD - don't think you would be able to sit in Sorry - I shouldn't have opened my mouth, but I wanted you to know there were other things going on at the grounds also, and I might be 'flitting' a little bit :rolleyes:

Yeah there is plenty of room... it's just me being selfish and trying to fit everything in. Don't really know JulesP - was emailed to me for the agility triallers I think

It's up to everyone else - I don't want to put anyone out - I'll manage if we keep it this week... it just sounds like too good a training day to miss (both of them!)

Just some info - there will apparently be some agility seminar at the grounds on Sat!!! I really, really want to go... so now I don't know what to choose!!!! Maybe a bit of both ;)
