The weirdest looks you get is when you train your dogs outside the shops. I work near the door as it has the largest flow of people (obviously :thumbsup:) with the added bonus of the door opening on its own being distracting and potentially frightening :) People sitting inside Chooks yesterday were glaring at me outside. But then you get the kids who love to watch and tell their mum "look there's that big doggy again!" I think the trolley boy thought I was weird, and the guys at the ATM probably thought I was doing something dodgy when I would walk past them quite close several times :laugh:

You are braver than me, I would be way too embarrassed to train right near a shop :confused: besides Mason would do NO work , he is too easily distracted

The "advantage" of training a Labrador in public spaces, a lot of people think you're training a Guide Dog :laugh: So you don't get as many crazy looks, you more get people watching on in interest.

There are always less shows after the Royal... although there should be at least 4 in Nov/Dec and possibly a couple in Oct so you should be able to get to 6 :thumbsup:

I really want to do Bunbury twice and Albany! :laugh:

I was supposed to go to training tonight but I piked out cause its too cold. :laugh:

Wondered where you got to - I needed someone to do some SFE for me!! ;) It wasn't too cold actually. Unless you were on the receiving end of an unfortunate incident like Amy involving your jacket :laugh:

Don't mention the jacket :laugh:

No wasn't very cold, I lugged some sandbags which warmed me up and didn't feel cold until I'd finished training. Need to go on a fitness program to run trixie - just about had a bloody heart attack from too much running!!! Maybe some Zunba is in order lol
