jbbb Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi Everyone, well, I just got back from Melbourne last night from my first block training session for the NDTF Certificate III in Dog Behaviour and Training. And it was awesome. It was very full-on, I learnt SO much, and I had a great time while I was there. Horus was in the same block session, and got to meet Haven and Herr_Rottweiller. :p It was SO good, I just cant say that enough! The instructors are great, they make the material and they also have fun with the students. Well done to the NDTF, I just cant wait to attend my next block session!!

jbbb Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) Well I didnt have much of a chance to take photos, as I was usually too busy. But I managed to take a few. Here are some of the cute doggies that were there. We handled SO many different dogs! Edited May 28, 2007 by jbbb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbbb Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 Squeak, we are currently working on bowing. We've had 2 sessions so far and she's pretty much got it. Smart doggie she is! We have also worked out giving me focus (I had tried to work on this previously but I didnt know how to do it properly ). And she's also now getting the release command. Leopuppy - I didnt take Flame, and infact only one person took their own dog. It was more a herding demo than a workshop, but we got info on how it was done etc. The choc lab was my favorite dog. I wanted to take him home. Nearly cried when I had to leave him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erny Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 You guys are so enthusiastic !!!! Makes me wish I was doing the course all over again!! It's great you are having a great time with it and by the sounds of it, getting so much from it. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbbb Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 Squeak, no that's not Roxy. Okay, focus - I get Flame to sit infront of me and when she looks at me (as opposed to the treat bag!) she gets a 'Yes' and a treat. So now she's following me around and staring at me constantly!

horus Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Thanks for that. Is that dally Roxy??? The Dally is my girl, Ellie. I was the only silly one who took dogs As jbbb said, the course is awesome, I just hope that I can retain all of the information we were given and understand my (quickly written) notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Sorry I missed meeting you, Horus - but great that you are enjoying the course. Next time perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
