MyDogToby Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Hi all, just thought I'd introduce myself since I've been lurking on here for a bit. I live in Perth & have a 7 month old JRT called Toby (he's in my avatar). He's my 1st dog I've had since I was a kid, so this puppy thing is pretty new to me. We're currently having lots of *fun* training him....he's getting pretty good at home but still goes a bit crazy when I take him for walks & he sees other dogs....but he's improving....slowly... LabRat, I'm sorry to hear about your horse. RottPerth, your dogs are gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Girl Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Sorry Swiss Girl, I don't know of a club that trains near Murdoch. Which suburb are you in though? Murdoch? Other SOR clubs are Southern River, Cloverdale, Eden Hill, Perth (which I think trains in Vic Park?) Thanks Ruby Star, I ran into several people a few months who recommended it, don't know how they ever heard of it because I've found no trace of it I'll contact the canine club an see who trains there now. Hi Tobies Mum and Rottperth so sorry for your loss Labrat, we also lost a pet just ove a week ago, our cat Xena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas1981 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Hey question for the WA agility people - somebody tonight asked me if I was going to the Perth Nationals and if I was could I pick them up a couple of the tug leads which seem to be so popular over there. They got one from the Adelaide Nationals from I think it was Jacq Winton. I said I would ask around and see if we could organise them and get it posted over. Does anybody know if she still makes them or whether anybody else in WA makes the ones with the furry sort of fleece. Sounds interesting, I have never seen one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Just to update I got in contact with Jacque and yep she still makes the furry ones and they are $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 DO you have any pictures of them Ness? I had one years ago but it has somehow got lost. Not sure who made it a friend from Perth gave it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) I can get a photo of them - they are looking a bit worse for wear but I have had them since 2006 and 2007 . ETA. A photo of my WA made furry ones And if anybody is in the market for some all in one tug lead/collar combos - my favourite overseas site http://www.kollarsbykathryn.com/ Not cheap but very nice quality - hanging out for our first agility trial of the year so I can use them.

I am probably asking a really dumb question but is it just a lead that the dog can also use as a tug toy?? Sorry if the question seems odd but we dont go to agility classes at our club yet as my boy is too young but I am keen to try it out with him so I dont know a lot of the equipment etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Yep sure is - if you have a tug mad dog its the closest thing you can get to being allowed to take a reward into the ring with you to have waiting at the end of a course. Mostly for my older one its just all about show really. They look pretty and everybody else had them so I had to get one . She isn't so keen on tugging. My younger one likes tugging as a reward so will be great for her. Edited March 17, 2010 by ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a great idea, my dog loves tugging but dont know how interested he will be when there are other dogs around, would love to get one to try though.

RallyValley Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 You getting really nervous Amypie? I already have butterflies, this is way scarier then showing!!! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I was okay until I read the secretary saying that it was probably the highest number of midweek trial entries they'd had and there were heaps of new dogs in Novice! (There are 23, 5 of them are NFC) I was hoping there'd be hardly any of us and we could run and be over with before anyone noticed :rolleyes: There won't be catalogues there, do you want me to print you a copy? I downloaded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 That would be great! Or you can email it to me (if you can pm me and I will give you my email). I am so nervous!! I think a lot of people are starting thier campagins for novice at nationals now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yep, I think so too but they should bugger off so we have a chance I'll PM you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging starts at 7.30pm but looks like it is starting at 600 and moving down, I'm 20th on the list (Which is good I was really worried about being first!) ETA: Valley is 15th on the list.

RallyValley Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Yes I am the last dog in my class after the my instructors so I have plently of time for the anxiety to build! Amypie some advice, if you have contacts wear them otherwise strap on the glasses. Last trial I saw glasses fall off then the dog waited patiently while the guy looked for his glasses so he could continue running the course! And the toilets is ages away so no fluids because otherwise you will realise right before you run you really need to go. I know that from showing :rolleyes: Happy birthday Rosie!

RubyStar Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'll see if I can come down, I just need a doggysitter for my ratbags (parents come in handy!!) So what time are you anticipating to be on with the list of dogs on before you? I'll come and film you Amy (and you too Valley if you want?)
