I am doing TID with Daisy too, we are also doing food drive ;) I hope she can be as good as Ed one day!! What a spunky fellow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 ;) Thank you! He is a good boy, and I'm very very proud of how far we've come with TID, with food. We're getting pretty close to going back to trialling, its more me than anything, I get so so nervous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're getting pretty close to going back to trialling, its more me than anything, I get so so nervous! I can't imagine how nerve wracking trialling would be But I'm sure you will both do very well, you've got Ed working with amazing focus.

shoemonster Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) I even found rescue remedy pastilles, which are ace, but the fear is stronger Just got to get his feet still on that stand for exam, what he did in the vid he does even with no video camera in his face, lifts the foot up as the judge comes, then lifts it again as I come around him. He does the same in a sit only we dont lose points for that ;) Edited April 14, 2009 by shoemonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke W Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 That's cool! I watched the hop at :28 a few times before I realised what was going on! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Wow you're doing so well with your dogs . You're really motivating me to do more with Banjo. Ed's a spunk to . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 WOW!! That was incredible to watch! I wanna learn more about the training in drive stuff but don't really know where to start Seeing how well you're doing makes me wanna try another approach with Ruby! Though we had a good short session at the park today, I still can't maintain focus as long as you were getting as everything is always so much more interesting. Mine lasts in 10 seconds bursts if I'm lucky She really struggles with not being distracted by outside things. I can see her trying so hard sometimes but the temptation to look away is just too strong an urge :nahnah: That's cool!I watched the hop at :28 a few times before I realised what was going on! I saw that, was something in particular happening to make him do that? I missed it then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Eddie's focus is amazing, watching him in person is even more impressive . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks everyone! I've told Ed he is a star but all he cares about that he doesnt want to go out in the rain so I can go to work! The drive is great for building confidence, just be prepared to have a bit of a nutcase for a while cos they go back to basics first then all the obedience comes back in as you go! The 28 second hop was a treat being thrown for him, he was a bit laggy on his turns, so just getting him to come around a bit quicker by surprising him every now and then Rubystar read the drive training thread pionned at the top of training (I think its pinned otherwise stalk K9Forces threads and you'll find it) TID with food is fairly similar but I reccomend doing the prgram with him and then you get to bombard him with questions and get all the feedback you need Tiggy, glad to motivate another stafford!!! There needs to be more of us out there in the rings showing how good our little buggers can be! Clover, hehe thank you! You get to see his good and evil side in person (the chip monster!)

LilBailey Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Ed is such a sexy butt. I love watching good Ob work. Some people say it is boring but I love the working as a team part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Yeah I love it too, love watching the dogs that look like they are having a good time, all excited, and especially love watching Eds vids now, cos when we started he was very unsure, and not confident at all, he found obedience a drag, now its just all exciting Would love to see how he would go with an experienced handler, just to see which parts of what he does are a result of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed's enthusiasm is exactly what we are aiming for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
