I have my very first dog trial tomorrow up here in Brisbane, well Laidley to be exact, I just rang the club and it is def on despite that crappy weather we have had all week, should I go or not as midget may not perform in the wet conditions or just go for the experience.???

thanks Rappie

staffy lover I must be blind, my boy is 3kgs so it might be tricky giving it to him maybe sardines would be the way to go...

Keep away from the pal canned food it would make a lot of dogs ill if that is all they were eating...

Do you have to feed canned food?? What brand are you feeding, the only canned food I will touch and that is in emergencie is natures gift...

Oh okies I have a very small dog so one capsule may be overdosing

Where do you get the fish oil from normal chemists, or can you just feed a little fish in their diet sardines or the like ?

Thanks for the tip I havent tried fish oil with my little boy as yet....

right the rain can stop now he has his debut on saturday its gunna be ruined

people punish their dogs

How about the wind??? I thought midgetguts was going to blow away

Its a late start around 3pm I think at the Laidley cultural centre which is on the main drag into laidley on the right hand side, but if it continues to rain all week I will bale, wet grounds and a short haired chihuahua just dont mix :D

It is at Laidley :D

I have my first trial on Saturday All these tips etc are a huge help for a first timer Hopefully my brain doesnt shut down and I remember when I walk in the ring :D

Not a drop on myself or Harvey wasnt even spitting when I went their :D

Well Kitkat guess who went to training tonight not a kitkat to be seen anywhere actually their were 5 of us their

The wee fella might drown I will have to pull out of trials if its raining as well, the little brat has to be pushed out the door to go to the loo when its raining....

Thanks BC

I wont be their kitkat the midget guts is nigh on useless in the rain, bugger I wanted to train tonight as he has his first trial next weekend, I train him in my house one of the bonuses of having a midget dog

This is a good thread I have to teach a retrieve with my dog and all this advice is very usefull, he is a chihuahua so its a bit of a challenge but he is very toy focussed etc so hopefully I can master it, finally found a small wooden dumbell and I am finding he is showing a lot of interest in it, I can now have him sit at my side, I can throw it, he will wait for my command to fetch will retrieve it and bring it back to me but drops it, he hasnt mastered the hold part as yet any tips on that would be fab also.....he does this at home , but so far has no interest in the dumbell at training club :-(

Arghhh little Kelly girl, my two fur kids say hi to her

Erny we are in QLD its not that far away My carer who is an experienced lady thank goodness is going to start your training today and will be in touch once that initial period of training is completed, we really appreciate your knowledge and hopefully with the correct training she will snap out of it, in every other way she is a typical loving wee puppy...Yuppers sas its is very sad, but not unexpected when you think of how she has been brought up in those early few weeks She has had 3 homes in a couple of weeks literally the poor wee tyke, apparently she is tiny the size of a small chi...I havent seen the wee munchkin in the flesh yet but hope to in the next few days :-)

Thanks everyone we are going to give ernies methods a go

Mypets she wont be going anywhere untill we solve this problem...Mypets re the b collie bit we never take notice of what a pet shop sells them as, my carer can see the staffy in her but god knows what else is

Hi we just rescued a very cute Staffy x puppy, she is only 7 weeks old, she was bought from a wonderful pet shop at 6 weeks of age and then they decided they didnt want her after 24hrs,she is with an experienced carer, but come food time she is very aggressive and will brissle up growl and will bite if you touch her, we want to stop this behaviour now while she is so young, I have never had this issue with such a young pup before
