Mashlee08 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Oh yeah, bringing DOL together :p lol jokes jokes! It was beneficial for me, but extremely tiring in the end. There are a few things I would like to try, however with the case of differential reinforcement I think I would need to work on dexterity and timing before I even thought about trying it. I like it in theory though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) I would have liked to go to the Ian Dunbar seminar but needed a weekend off. To make you smile :).

hortfurball Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Damn that's cute! Is that Jive and Alice? Oh Mashlee, what was 'differential reinforcement' again? In layman's terms? He tended to label fairly simple principles - I remember the principles but not necessarily the names! Never mind, curiosity and impatience to know the answer got the better of me and I googled it! :laugh: Edited February 11, 2013 by hortfurball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yeah it is Jive and Alice... although she is called Liss now Works well as both short for Alice and "Little Miss" which is is often called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncarter Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) hey does anyone know of a good behaviourist or trainer NOR. I have a friend with a really clingy Cavalier. It has separation anxiety issues. Im not sure how bad is it, but apparently it gets plenty of exercise and attention but is still very needy. I think it must be close to a year old now and its still quite mouthy. Any suggestions of training routines she could try before she goes to a behaviourist?

I would recommend K9 Positive Works (http://www.facebook.com/K9PositiveWorks), very smart and dedicated behavioural trainer with lots of sep. anxiety experience.

RubyStar Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 We're a boring lot lately, aren't we? Someone must have some news, or something to talk about?! Not me, nothing going on here 2 more week until I go back to uni, so there goes spare time! But I'm at the stage now where I'm looking forward to it for something to do :p Ask me again in a month and I'll be over it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Nothing exciting on the dog front happening here... Although I am tempted to do this with Miss Anikka http://www.dogswest.com/dogswest/News-Attention_Dog_Owners_and_Judges.htm. Only problem is she is likely to be in season and I am meant to be prepping 3 horses for a show the day after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 That's interesting, mirawee. I can't tell if they are only after show dogs, or obedience/agility ones, too. It is calling for obedience/agility judges, but mentions its open to show people. So I dunno I wonder what the project is, does anyone have any inside info?

pie Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 There was a promo video - looks to be some sort of contest to determine a top dog - maybe they will have to teach them agility or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 lol, yup not much going on here either, apart from Louis actually played with another dog at the weekend see photo section. Mirawee, your new foal and pup are both adorable! and hope you find a home for your girl soon ptolomey - gorgeous pups too :D pfft - only 3 mirawee ;) when I was a groom (about 25yrs ago now :laugh: ) we had 10 to prep every day for 2 weeks when it was Hickstead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirawee Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 pfft - only 3 mirawee ;) when I was a groom (about 25yrs ago now :laugh: ) we had 10 to prep every day for 2 weeks when it was Hickstead How many people did you have though :p I get to do it all on my own Including a yearling for his first show, Diva who has been on maternity leave for nearly 2 years now and Nova hasn't been to a show in a year either :p Plus I have Diva's foal Dare to prep for a show on the Sunday so will probably wash him on Friday and hope he stays clean in the paddock while the others are at the Saturday show. RS, I have to admit I like the idea of testing your dog out in lots of areas (which is why Ani would be the Lappy of choice ;) ) but am a bit worried about how they would be portrayed...

SparkyTansy Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 mirawee I agree - and also, whether the winner would then become the next big thing... what they really need to make come across is that each and every breed can suit different people... i doubt that willhappen though - they have to make it a competition!!
