Oh ok After losing one of our cats suddenly last week with no reason, I am abit paranoid

Why are Hills recalling MD feline when it doesn't have wheat gluten then?

Thanks Ashka The TD doesn't have wheat gluten in it so thats good but then neither does the md that they are recalling Arggg

bloody hell, I give my cats the TD Is there a site that keeps updated with the recalls?

Oh she loves Eddie though! She is pretty reactive, to people around her but wasn't fazed by Ed and Molls She was great doing stays next to the noise of the freeway in the puppy run last week How old is she now?

I'm hanging to meet LL and the dogs! Even though I am guaranteed to be a complete disgrace in comparison

hehe, yep aim for the sky! So are we going to do both training on the 28th and then LL's place on the 29th so people can do either or both I'm still in for both

I wish! But you never know what the judge is going to like with Staffords! I am handling another stafford bitch too But yeah we shouldn't be there past 2 or I'll be insane by then!

The 14th I'll be at Kcc already so I'll be ready to train as soon as we're out of the ring lol Though knowing the staffords and the numbers we normally have we'll probably be in for ages lol Cosmolo, yeah come to the Sunday

Ok, I figured out that my mobile records voice and I can use the handfree to listen to it while training (training my own feet lol)! Now I just need to get a list of commands to read out so I can play it to myself I migth just repeat the commands off a run through on youtube or something

You guys can do it with the taller dogs, you try to get a stafford right in that close and you trip over them cos they are only at knee height! lol Actually maybe thats what Molly is doing, she's not getting under my feet she's just heeling UK style

What did you record it with? I need to do that I need to get something to play it on too though, hmmmm have to ask darling OH if I can get an ipod for dog training

Yeah I need OH to call out lefts and rights to me til I do it without thinking I can't do it by myself cos I know which way I'm meant to go! lol Ness we want your answer too!!!

Yeah but my problem is I get dyslexic with left and right when put under pressure Like if we're in the car and I suddenly have to tell someone which way to turn

Ah thats a bugger I'm looking forward to it all, all motivated and ready to go!

Cool, thats what I'd been thinking Almost completely OT, well it is a bit about heeling just not much! I got a run through last night by one of the guys at WP who is a judge lol It was good though, even though we never got a whole run through cos he kept stopping to show me things about heeling and my cruddy turns! So much of it is my own confidence Cosmolo god I laughed at your OH talking about panicing with which way to turn when it's called, one day I will figure out which way I'm going I'm sure! I just have to keep thinking Eddie is left, Eddie is left lol

If it means being mature I guess staffords would never be in their prime!

I taught Ed close, to get him to come in when he was a bit wide, but now I question it, heel should mean heel close, if he is wide he shouldn't need a different command to get him in, do you think?

I would love to know this I have taught both mine some of the basics of agility and flyball, but don't think they are ready yet to be doing the whole deal (they are nearly 2) It would vary heaps with different dogs and their personalities though I guess

I've been doing find heel for a while, from both sides, and all around And we've been doing find come recently at home after an instructor suggested it after she watched Ed recall, she said no matter where he is, at any time, just tell him to come, if he is a metre in front, if he is behind me, if he is beside me etc I think find come is good and wish I had thought of doing it earlier Ed also is a lagger, so I might start throwing a ball in front to combat that. He finds heel perfectly it's when we move thats the problem

Ohh Good luck everyone!!! Ish, I'm sure they will both be great!

lol I can get OH to burn the bbq no probs! Cool, I have no shows either of those days that thats great!

That could be really good LL, let me know if you need any help

I love that!

Yeah me too, otherwise Ed will spend the whole day trying to charm you (I know some of you may like this! )
