I'm taking the day off tomorrow, sick to death of nothing to do :) Anyone wanna meet up for a mid afternoon training session?

Throw a sickie on Friday and come and meet Strauss :D

Bummer! I can't do sickies either side of a weekend without a doc certificate :rofl: I already have Thurs morning off for TAFE so have decided I'm taking the afternoon off to do some much needed day time training.

Would love to but have to work - including meetings all afternoon. :D

I am a bit the same though... so far this week out of 9 patients booked all up 4 have been no-shows :rofl: And of my specific patients I have had 3 of 5 no-show :rofl: And then one of my morning patients tomorrow has cancelled too :) Maybe I should be starting to think there is something wrong with me :D I wonder if my remaining 2 patients for the week will rock up? :)

Would be tempting if I didn't have the meetings LOL. Unfortunately the meeting are important as we only have them every 6 months :rofl:

I do visual electrophysiology :D Or in plain English I torture people in order to find out what part of their visual pathway is working as it should and what isn't :)

Yeah but what you did for Millie is pretty special. :rofl: If you want I can give you a whole series of shots, we will just have to photoshop the wavy hair as he gets bigger (and the boy parts :D ).

Yeah but these are new patients so they don't realise they are going to get tortured :) Actually I have had on the tests done on myself, multiple times, and the only bad thing is the eye drops which can sting for up to about a minute. But I have had a few guys (it is always guys who are the wussy complainers) who tell me that I just do my job coz I like torturing people, but as I tell them that is only a side benefit :D

Well we had our training session with Kathy Kopellis McLeod this morning and it went very well indeed, so thanks for the recommendation everyone :D

She says it is fear related, and to keep him away from off-leash areas for now whilst I work on calming him down around other dogs. He was actually ok with her big husky she brought along, but we came across a std poodle while out and he reacted more typically towards that, which was good as she gave me pointers for helping him. I'll take him along to her 'reactive rover' classes and should hopefully start to see some improvements with him soon. She said he was actually a well mannered dog over all, just scared when dogs get in his face.

Be warned - I may be on the look out for willing people and calm dogs to help socialise him too :)

Hey vCBR you didn't happen to have a sickie to go to Rally training this morning did you :rofl: :D

No but I wish I had thought of that! :)

I had a sickie so I could take Lilly to the vet for a check up and so that I could go to the bank and report my ATM card missing :rofl: . I wouldn't call it a sickie so much as a mental health day anyway.

We can use the K9 grounds during the day, right? Ptolomy? Anybody? :D

Mas, cool, let me know then. I want to head to K9 though as that is where the trial is on the weekend and I'll lose most of my day on travel if I don't train close to home because I don't get home from TAFE til after 1pm. Want to train as close as possible to that time while it is still warmest part of the day, plus I have agility that night so need a decent break between both sessions! If the drive to K9 doesn't put you off, you are most welcome to join me :)

I will see how my day goes, I may train/walk Mason in the morning if its not raining at that time though as it always looks like rain at any minute lately!!

Dougal offers his non threatening body language anytime if it helps! :rofl:
