ok our club has set up a clicker challenge for over the summer break need to teach your dog to do a obedience move or trick they dont already know using clicker training. a fun way to introduce people into clicker training.. soo im trying to think of an easy trick or move to teach remy (stafford) for the challenge. i was thinking walking backwards as he has very little knowledge of his back end.lol so it would be a good one to do with him so where do i start??? also an easy trick would be good too. he knows wave shake high 5 ..10 trying to get him to roll over he just wont do it..lol he started to when he was younger but now has just lost it..lol

i know of someone that has 3 BC and clips their bellys only in summer, 2 of them are working farm dogs and seem to cope better with the heat.. with my old BC i just groomed and stripped out as much as i could and he loveeed the water and swimming

id highly recomend my club which runs a puppy pre school indoors for younger pups,, but we only have a few weeks left them break for the year on december 2nd.. all positive training ;) hastings mornington pen

Thanks ReXy, I thought it was Westernport but wasn't sure I will contact them and find out some info, thanks so much no probs good luck

i am not sure of all details.. such as price and times,, but to give some idea, it is westernport dog obed club and they train sundays sorry not much info shoemonster may be able to help more.? there is also the GSD club that trains there

i had heard about it.. will look into getting it shortly, love cesar..

wooooaaaah thats a bit steep. i think from memory i paid around 60 dollars. id ring a few different vets and ask also did they quote you on what vaccs it was c 4 c 5?

whata spunky boy he is, go bronsey boy.. cant wait to see him run.

yes in the am trial i was in masters and open.. no table, when we got to the novice ring and we saw them under the table. we said oh no they have to go, it suprises me they leftt hem there.. that was the first thing i noticed int he ring and i dont even do agility..lol i kknow it would be a distraction for my dog hed stop and sniff them for sure..lol

glad you guys had a great day it was fun but tiring dont know how u lot do it..lol thats ok leopuppy, i know i shouldnt of spoke to you,, ( bad steward) but i knew when i saw him, hes such a spunk and he did a great run you should be proud. congrats to all the passes for everyone i left pretty much straight after , after setting up and all day i was stuffed. sorry i didnt hang around to chat.

from cranbourne its about 20 - 25 mins. straight up westernport hwy .. your from where i used to live. bayswater/ ringwood. see you tomorrow. ive always loved leo. now i get to see just how spunky he is in real life... eta it takes me about 1 hour to get to bayswater from here.

ohh yay im looking forward to meeting some lovely DOl doggies,, honestly i dont knwo which ring ill be in ..lol he didnt tell me that..lol good luck to everyone.. umm how far is hastings.? well that depends on where your coming from i guess.lol its pretty easy to find

as the heading says. anyone compteing tomorrow at hastings???? i know theresa few agility people here if you are come say hi ill be stewarding.... good luck and have a great day, lets hope for nice weather.

i bathed my 5 week old foster puppies on the weekend they were a bit grotty and smelly and will bath them before they go to their new homes as well. no harm in bathing baby puppies as your lil one is older it would be no worries at all. good idea to get him used to it now while hes young, make it a positive experience and hopefully he will love it.

i agree, i wont be using c5 again, my stafford was c5 and hes had KC twice, my small fluffy has not had c5 only c4 and he didnt get it.. the minimum for our club is c 4 so i think ill be doing that from now on the money really isnt an issue because if it needs doing i would do it. but i just dont see ther benefit when hes had it twice,the first time was mild after the vaccs, the second was a bad case and ended up on antibiotics with chest infection as well..

hastings dog club..... very flexible , encourage the use of toys, food, clickers what ever it takes... we have agility and trial groups too if you want to go that way very encouraging and flexible instructors :D

id go with the sunlight soap and glo white to ,i used to use it on the horses and got grass and manure stains out of white patches, no probs, i use glo white on the small white fluffy and he comes up sparkling

interesting to read,, i have an old rescue girl here who the vet thought was about 14 and was starting to suffer dementia.. she is only 9 years old but had a hard start to life which i guess has aged her. other than the symptoms you described she has no medical or other conditions,, she just plodds along when it suits her.. sorry i dont have nay helpfull advice for you, was just interesting to read another dog with same symptoms.. my girls eye sight and hearing is deteriorating, she sometimes misses jumping up on chairs, couch.. and does get a fright if someone walks up to her and she hasnt seen or not ready for them

run free sarge go chase tennis balls and have fun. look after my boy dodge whos name was sarge when i got him, 2 noble boys take care of the others at rainbow bridge. so sorry for your loss shelly. thinking of you at this hard time.

kristie you did a great job , gave me goosebumps and made me cry.. so very brave and i hope people learn from it ..

ohh dear this would be very dissapointing to a lot of ppl. crossing fingers for anyone entered..

my goodness.. that is some chewing there.. the most mine have suffered is the home alone toy,, the yellow plastic part on rope has a few teeth marks in it, where labby boy used to grab and pull it. couldnt pull the part he was suppoosed to the soft part no had to pull the hard part, i only get it out every now and then for stafford i wont leave it there he is obsessed with larger soccer ball size balls, hed hang himslef trying to get it i reckon.
