mirawee Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 so Ptolomy were you practising UD with no lights and plenty of dried liver spread everywhere. Can't trust the lightening at the Royal . What regular lightning flashes don't give you enough light to see to do UD? Sorry couldn't help myself I can't believe I have my first agility trial since the Nationals this weekend... and I didn't get to train the Tuesday before Hopefully OzJen and J are good owners and give their dogs a big run on Saturday (but NOT Sunday morning!)

Ptolomy Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 yes ptolomy i was there in the big dog class rofl even though she is still a pup i saw the toller and aussie and wondered if it was your toller man i wish my dogs were that well trained rofl. better start training hahahahaha question do you use a clicker or not??agility was on last night too Yep the 2 red kids were mind and the Aussie was Bedazzleds. I had the clicker out and was using it as front presents have gone wayward and I also had Soggybear out and was clicking and treating bits with her. We had a chair out in the middle of the ring and needed to make sure she was confident that the chair wasn't going to get her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 about the wayward front presents hmmmmm if you find them again let me know because I think Ness's have gone to the same place . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 ok first of all R&S i think you should teach ruby bang bang (you know where you do the shoot gun hand signal and then fall flat on their backs) I loe that one!! Secondly i've been inspired with obedience and even though Ari sux at the moment and Spartan has a fair few bad habits, i am determined to get up to par with my training... does anyone have any good books that really help the beginner with healing close, non-sloppy sits, focus exercises etc?

pie Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I wagged training too, was refreshing the website and couldn't see anything about it being cancelled but was in a tired grumpy mood anyway As for tricks, Kyzer knows a few, 'bang' play dead one, roll over, shake, spin, in your bed, puts paws on my feet when I lift them, jumps up into my arms, used to do bow but forgot how somewhere along the way and he also does 'where's Trixie' which I regret teaching him because if I'm trying to get her to do something and I have a treat he starts offering it and bopping her with his paws which gets her rather confused Trixie only knows roll over What a fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) Trixie only knows roll over What a fail An even bigger fail is neither of my dogs know roll over I haven't taught poor Millie any tricks. From the day she came to me, I just taught her obedience stuff I did some free shaping with her last night, first time actually, with the lid off the kibble bin. Just wanted her to interact with it in some way. Took her a bit to take her eyes off me but when they flicked to the lid on the floor, C/T! She started looking at it more and then progressed to nudging it with her nose The highlight was when she stopped looking at me and hopped up with this lightbulb kind of look in her eyes to say hmmm well I know I have to do something! We'll see where it takes us next time. I'm hoping to shape her into putting her 2 front paws on it. Edited August 18, 2010 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make all these commitments to do stuff then never get time Maybe I should spend the summer months when it's too hot to go out and train doing indoor tricks I have a while up my sleeve then to stop being so lazy Edit: I don't really know of any books but there are a few DVD's around that are good. My faves are Patty Ruzzo and Chris Bach Edited August 18, 2010 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 want to talk about Fail amypie? I couldn't even teach spartan to shake, nor James... they jsut never got the concept!! James barely knows sit (well, he knows it just that he chooses when to do it). Ari can do most of it but when food is on offer she overdoes behaviours and keeps offering different ones in order to get the food... for example... i taught her "paw" then I taught her "other one"... she now does both at the same time in the hope of getting the treat faster, and she does this in combination with a "drop" just in case i ask her for that behaviour as well. So.. Ari's trick is prempting what I ask her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyStar Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) Being puppy clucky makes you take a trip down memory lane to help ease the pain of not being able to get a pup... not sure if it eases it or makes it worse!

Personally Lab puppies are cuter than Aussie puppies But for me I wouldn't own a Lab but would consider an Aussie Will show you in person next time I see you... since neither pups nor videos are mine I won't upload them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Yep that's Ruby puppy, wasn't she a stunner? (Still is, but I may be biased though ) I'd so love her to be in some print ads or commercials She photographs well normally, and she can be a little poser Awww mirawee why wouldn't you own a Lab over an Aussie? I want both!! GR - yaaaaay I can't wait for Goldie puppy cuddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Hmmm RS want to put this next to the photo of the lab and the aussie? :D just kidding!! although pretty hard to resist! Just found the most stunning photo of an ES working... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 OK, so not breeds you were looking at but I have to put puppy photos up now too :D Two little Lappy babies and a baby Banjo... I can't believe Banjo ever looked that innocent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
