ravenau1 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hi Ravenau1 I started tracking with Trackwest this year and its alot of fun with very friendly people. The dogs pick it up very quickly and if the owners pick it up just as quick there is every likelyhood of obtaining a tracking title by the end of the first season. I'm not one of those people though so haven't entered a trial yet, maybe next season. Tracking is open to dogs of all ages and types and I was told that they are thinking of doing a puppy or youngster group next season. At this stage it is held in the Gnangarra pine forrest on a Saturday morning starting at 8am, there is a reasonable amount of hiking around as we lay tracks for each other as well as follow tracks ourselves. At tracking trails we usually get a lovely roast dinner for $5 after the trial is over and its a nice relaxed atmostphere for the presentations. Hi Ozjen Hopefully we will see you there! I am really keen to give this a go as it sounds really interesting. Where do you get the equipment and such from? I think some people use a flyball harness? I could be wrong though lol last one after all the cuddles (we spent itme in the cnaine tent meet and greet outside) and the judging she bombed out She is just beautiful emery! I have an irresponsible neighbour 1 door down and he has a Rotti pup about the same size/age as yours. The poor dog doesn't get walked and my next door neighbours have taken to walking the dog (obviously not used to a lead and has had no discipline) but he is a very funny boy, he puts his paws over the fence, right up to his elbows and just stands there checking everything out. It does look sweet but I dread to think what will become of this puppy. thankyou oh no poor rotti pup bet he pulls like a train. kealri will pull but not hard as i want her to enjoy the lead and to run with me for shows but trianing is a must. both mine will hang over the fence to check things out they love it especially wehn the neighbours cuddle them lol. rottis are very fast learners and normally very food motivated. i hope they learn to take notice of their family member as rotti's are very much family dogs i see him ending up in the pound though plz keep me updated if that looks like happening and i will see what i can do Yes, I will let you know if the dog's outlook becomes bleak(er). It's an Indian or Sri Lankan guy that owns this dog, and it's shelter is an old car in the carport. One of the back doors is tied open to one of the carport poles. I'm assuming he has the dog for 'security' purposes On a brighter note, I only have 3 days to go before I pick up my little bundle of mischief. :D How exciting! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozjen Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Yes, Ozjen was not impressed with Miss Jenna but almost had a heart attack when she landed chest first of the A frame with her front legs buckled under her. I'm sure she only did it so mum would feel sorry for her and not be mad. Pity she was too heavy for me to throw over the pound fence on the way home. As if you could do that Throw her over my fence before you throw her over the pound fence Crikeys! Glad she's okay! Wasn't quite that bad, she launched from near the top of the A-frame (Jenna has never even looked at missing the colour before yesterday :D That is Abbey's trick when she is feral) and landed on her feet but tripped on landing and went down on her shoulder (I was a bit closer and at a better angle to OzJen). OzJen grabbed her when she left the ring and was worried coz she was shaking - me being the cruel person I am went over and grabbed her, told OzJen she was fine and not to baby her and took her out the back to make her listen before putting her in the crate However I had noticed that she had trotted off perfectly sound after doing her dive bomb and she was "shaking" due to adrenaline from being a feral Aussie not coz she had injured herself I am assuming she pulled up all right today. OzJen? I can understand why you would have had a minor heart attack though :D A few dogs lost their footing on the grounds yesterday for some reason when turning or landing after jumps. Yep, no bad side effects she was still keen to have time on the treadmill the next day. I don't get a chance to use it as she jumps on behind when its my turn and just about takes my legs out. It certainly didn't stop her trying to cheat with the jumping either, as J said at least she knew to jump the timming gate jump at the end.

I am really keen to give this a go as it sounds really interesting. Where do you get the equipment and such from? I think some people use a flyball harness? I could be wrong though lol The club has the harnesses available for purchase but you can start of with any harness until you decide that you like it. With the lead I bought a 10m lunge lead from the horse shop for around $10 although you may need longer than this later. Some dogs they recommend wearing gloves with but I didn't find it necessary although they did recommend it with my dog. We flag out our tracks by using the green bamboo garden stakes and surveyors tape/ribbon (avail from Bunnings for about $8 a roll) and I use an old camping chair bag as my flag bag but the instructors usually provide them for the first couple of weeks. I started with a car harness but found that it slipped too much and then went for one of the clubs harnesses. Wet weather gear is recommended too with it being over winter but given how little rain we got this year I didn't need more that a waterproof jacket once or twice during the season.
