Dumbell

[LilBailey]

Hi all

can't find the web page to the place with the kelpie's that you can get dumbell and sent articals from.

Any one remember it?

Your local obedience club will sell them.

I bought a couple of those pro trainer dumbells at Mega Pet Warehouse in Vic a few weeks ago.

Mandy's are cheaper though!

Thanks guys.

A medium would be the right size for my Border x kelpie wouldn't it? or would a bit big be better than a bit small?

I take it you intend to trial? Get one made by a woodturner to your dogs measurements. Too big or too smaller dumbell can cause problems both in learning and also losing points due to mouthing etc in a trial. Make sure the shaft is not too thin, and also has plenty of ground clearance for when you strike long grass in a trial. Shaft length should be as wide as the dogs muzzle.

One with a taper on the inside of the ends of the dumbell helps with vision.
