TerraNik Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 No? Do you have any information on that, Sas? Just a 50:50 ratio with water in a bottle and then pour over after bath, scrap off excess water and then dry. We haven't had Folliculitis for years thank heavens, however this did help last time we had it. The same ratio in a Spray Bottle too for day to day use. Obviously not to be used on open wounds etc. Great! Thanks Sas! We will give it a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) I've just realised as I work through the agility right from the start book(yes I love this book ) that I've always used a food reward after a click never a toy and the reward always comes from my hand, I never throw it or send the dog to a remote reward, which is why my dogs can't keep their eyes off me which is great for obedience not so much for agility. I'm learning something new everyday, thought I'd share . Edited August 24, 2010 by Tiggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know most people just don't know better but . You have to laugh at some people when they train their dogs - but it is because they dont know better We have had great work from Mason this week - dont know if its because he has basically had a scratch free week for some reason ( I have no clue what it is.... it cannot be the immunotherapy kicking in yet???) but I am very happy with him - SHOCK, HORROR, we are even doing sit stays - which means he will be ready for the club comp on the 12th, I am even now hoping for a pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sas Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 K9: Hey Sas glad it worked! Your a great aim too! Thanks! The aim has been the hardest thing! I had everyone at obedience laughing my first weeking doing it, I sounded like I was hacking up a fur ball and I never aimed well but we're getting there now! Now to stop him lagging in heel!

Steve K9Pro Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 K9: hocking up? your putting food in your mouth right? Lagging in heel, hmm 150 ways to fix that, just choosing the right one I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Hacking whoops. I know why he lags - it's motivation but that's my fault, because he was such a prick of a young dog I was always about him being calm and not a dick and I kinda stuffed it up and now you can't rev him up *bangs head* The lessons I have learned LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve K9Pro Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 K9: without writing a book here, as he goes into the heel position, motivation is there, but when heel movement comes it is signalling the wrong message in his head. It is signalling reward wont be coming soon so he loses interest, yes? I might try retraining the heel with a new phrase and being a bit more surprising with the reward closer to the beginning. If he lags at the beginning you certainly need more motivation, if he lags after 5 seconds for eg, I might think your running out of drive and this may be either genetic or habit. There are ways to fix either though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Great work Sas - what a huge improvement!! We have a trial this weekend, Daisy's stay training has been going well and she did a two minute down stay in the pouring rain on Monday night so fingers crossed she keeps it up and we get through stays (and all the other exercises) and do them well like I know she can.

If he's just not in the mood then he'll lag from the begining, today he was not in the mood from stepping out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossing everything for you! Me too, my nerves are a killer, it is not Daisy that stuffs it up but me Our judge is the judge we had in our first ever trial, she is the only judge Daisy has ever broken a SFE under. The judge is older and sort of rested her hand on Daisy's head and Daisy stepped back with a WTF look on her face so you can guess what I have been training a lot of with our SFEs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
