huski Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I don't know of any club in Brisbane that train the way I do. An hour of class is just not congruent to the way I train Daisy. I would rather five minutes of 110% than an hour of paddock bashing. I am happy to pop into class to do a SFE or group stays etc. Our club also does a night of casual training each week where members can use the grounds and the equipment to do what they want. I would love to have a group of triallers to meet up and train with who have a similar approach to training that I do - that would be great!

Kavik Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 What happens when you've chosen a different training path to your club? One where the rules make it quite difficult for you to train anything but their methods? Does anyone truly train totally separate from a club, particularly for agility when you don't have a full compliment of gear? And with a young dog who would obviously benefit from working under distraction? Be interested to hear people's thoughts please What sort of problems are you having? Different handling system? Different way of training obstacles - wanting to train contact obstacles or weaves differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use whatever club is closest to me and do my own thing, I move in and out of classes as it suits me and quite often do something else while in class anyway! I too would love to meet up with a group of like minded trainers but unfortunately we're all spread helter skelter across the city and it would be a mission to organise something!

ness Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Just going to post a scent update for Kenz. Its been a while since I have tackled scent but since Ness needed a session I thought I'd do a session with both of them. Set up a full set of articles out on the front lawn. Ness did her two finds then a jackpot then I switched to Kenz. Well blow me away. Kenz did her wood twice, leather she made one mistake with but when I took it off her and said try again she went back and found the correct one. I then tried a metal with her. Again no issues with finding the correct metal. I did get her chasing a stick and then switch to the metal article before introducing it into the pile because of her metal reluctance issues. Pretty impressed with Kenz as she is deliberately making a decision on which one to bring back. I also made sure I rewarded her waiting while I went and placed the article .

TerraNik Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 What happens when you've chosen a different training path to your club? One where the rules make it quite difficult for you to train anything but their methods? I don't do classes - I don't get much out of them and it's really just too long. I get constantly 'nagged' to go into class but I never do unless it's for group stays or a few minutes of a heelwork pattern. Plus, I'm training 3 dogs at the moment so it's really not conducive to class work! If my club had a rule that I couldn't do that -- then I wouldn't go there. You need to be comfortable with how you train - it's not worth staying around if you don't agree with methods or if they're not flexible with things.

RallyValley Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Well done! I ordered a new crate for Lincoln and can't wait till it arrives, its going to be huge for him to start with but if he grows as big as his daddy it will be a good fit.

I use 'lets go" I need to start working on he right hand side heel as well if we are going to ever do agility, will probably only be next year but might as well train him to heel both sides while we are at it. His heeling has come along so much in the last 3 weeks I am very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're planning on competing you may want to rethink this command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to use come for my left side heeling command You can use what ever you want as long as they are one word and you are going to remember them! I train in a different language so every single one of my commands is different to normal but I made sure they were all short commands so even if a judge can't understand the language they'll be able to tell that I haven't said enough to be multiple words!
