Guest Pandii Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Janet - so we have done sit, heel, leave and come, what did they do for the stay and we didnt do tunney work as the stupid dog made us late and then they packed up the tunnel before we got ther last week. I am practising all this week as I want to go up to grade 2, did they do drop at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley James Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 No Drop!!!! the one thing my mutt is great at LOL forgot to say a leave with food at front heal stay was just a basic stay directly in front almost on toes of dog. And you did the tunnel work this week We did a come with a step back after recall then another step (hard to explain) If I get there tomorrow I will show you. In fact if I come I will bring sniff and I will work him!!!! We did curved tunnel not sure how much tunnel work you guys did tho.

tlc Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hey Pandii and RJ, do you know if your class one and two involved a retrieve excersise?? My two older dogs are both in class two and my youngest girl is in class one and my youngest boy is still in the well behaved program, he does everything perfectly but the out of sight wait so we cant pass to go up to class one, My oldest two are very crappy at retrieving so they cant pass class two. and the one who is in class one is a wizz at retrieving but seems to be the class clown and is never focussed on obedience so she is stuck in class one. Also with helping to teach classes I dont get as much time to get my own through, so i know where your coming from Janet, I need 4 sets of hands!! I guess what Im wondering is how different the programs are for say classes one through to four. Do they give you a thing to say what you need to do to pass??

Riley James Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I think to pass grade 1 you only really need a good heel on loose lead. And good handler correction (its not just about the dog its also about the handler) And a basic stay. I think its more about the dogs focus and the handlers control than really much else. But having said that if you have both happening you can usually teach your dog most things. We will be doing a retrieve this week (I am not worried about that LOL) So I think the classes are about alike as chalk and cheese really. horses for courses and all that. Pandii I forgot that too LOL you prob have to take a fav toy or ball ect to retrieve Cheers janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I just thought of another question, do you guys have to have an assesment to pass the grade before you go up to the next level?? Our class one & two consist of things like heeling, sit stand drop incorperated into heeling routine, stay from a sit stand drop position 6 paces for 10 seconds, small retrieve excersise, right and left about turns and recall. Is that similar to what you guys do?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Ha you answered my question before I even posted, your class one sounds a lot different than ours, we are also assesed on how focused the dog is on the handler and the relationship between the two! We are not allowed to use any treats for assesment and once you get into level 2 no food is allowed to be used unless you are doing a new excersise. Once you go up a few more levels they add new excersisies and also build on what you have done in the first classes, things like longer stays etc..... not many posts to go now RJ. Gee well never see you once you get into off topic, it can be a real time waster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley James Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hahahahaha I will tell you if and when I pass LOL This is my first time in grade1 for many years. But there is a assesment that has to be passed just dont know what it is, and I know quite a few dont pass on the first or second go. So it cant be too easy And we still havent done a drop yet (I really want the drop cose sniff is great at it LOL got to work on what your good at LOL) Cheers Janet 9 TO GO DID YOU READ THAT ONLY 9 TO GO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley James Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Are you saying your sick of me hahahaha Nope you cant get rid of me that easily Cheers Janet 8 TO GO AND COUNTING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Nope defintley not sick of you, I could talk dog stuff all night!! It does sound like the two different clubs have very different classes, In our puppy classes that we take pups from 8 weeks, they learn to sit, drop, stand, recall, stay, look/watch, walking nicely on a loose lead. Usually by the time they have finished the 6 week course they can do it all reasonably, we also do the basic puppy stuff like getting pups uses to other people handling them, lots of talks about lots of puppy stuff (especailly good for new owners) and the pups have some off lead socialization, which is great. Anyway Im going on a bit now, All my pups are sleeping soundly as we had traning this morning then this arvo a girlfriend and I took the dogs to thunder point and walked nearly all the way to levys, needless to say they are all exhausted and im not far behind them. They had a ball, did some swimming, rolled in some dead birds, climbed some cliffs. Run up and down the sand hills they didnt stop for 2 hours strait!! Wish I had that energy! So they have all had a bath and not a peep out of them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
