emery Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 hey labrab sorry i didnt get to meet you, i didnt really know what i was looking for.Hey guys what microchip registry are you with?? i know there are a few, just dont know if one is any better than the others. Well done to all those people who got passes in obedience and agility No worries ncarter.......Im sure there were people I said I would try and track down and didnt!!!! There will be other shows :p Were you carrying round a Papillion???? If so - I saw you! But it just didnt click....I am blonde you see ;) Next show Ill be at will be the Ridgy Club show on the 30th April, if anyone else is showing other breeds that day. Just had a pretendy run with Zola to see if her attitude had changed, but as soon as I put her show collar on, down came the ears and the attitude changed almost instantaneously....so I may take her for a social outing, but wont be showing Shes such a dag! Not even food or cutesy noises will change her demeanour...Oh, well do you need to handle her on her show lead or can you build her confidence up just using her everyday collar and lead?

Lab_Rat Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Ptolomy - Dont think Ive tried another handler, not so sure it would change her :D OsOSwift & Emery - Yep, tried with her normal collar and "walkies" lead....When I try to stack her, no go.... Im not so worried, she'd only be in the neuter class, which is one whole class each year ;) so I dont really care one way or the other. Was just a maybe, but now a not..LOL, may take her for a social outing instead...She really is just a anxious boofer!!! Ive been far too little work with her regarding her anxieties, but with 8 weeks off soon, I intend to up that training and really help her (and me) out! I would like to take her back to training too, but it will take time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has improved slightly with the bit I have done! I must email poor Garth and tell him we are going along ok - he probably thinks were another lost cause LOL!!! She will actually tolerate being hugged now while wagging her tail and without pulling away - so we have actually moved forward! Was good to see you and the crew on Friday too!

OSoSwift Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Have you tried training her to walk into a free stack?? My friend even got her dog to wag it's tail on command with clicker training as the dog when she got her really didn't like the ring. It worked very well, and she actually learned to like it after a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked very well, and she actually learned to like it after a little while. Abit like people, I was once told that the best way to not be shy around people is to play act at being confident. Have to admit it did help alot I am not nearly as shy as I use to be although I would not say I'm a confident person either and I still struggle in some situations. I have never thought to try it with a dog but it sounds like it has worked for your friends dog. Although thinking about it I suppose Click to Calm and Control Unleashed do work on similar principles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Haven't read about those?, but as soon as you tried to place her she roached her back, clamped her tail and looked really crapped off at the world. So she was taught to walk into a stack and would kick her back legs back to the correct spot, start wagging her tail and then she would drop the tip of her nose so her neck was slightly arched. She looked great and looked happy to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad for a bunch of oldies 3 of which haven't done any agility training in a long long time Thanks Teamies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
