Rusky Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Warning to dog owners!New garden pots for growing herbs can be very dangerous to dogs and make them fearful of the back yard! These pots may jump and attack at any moment Cindy is now happy to go around the yard. The scary pots might make good figure 8 posts and allow you to do lots of rewarding around them????? you always think outside the square great stuff !

pie Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Can someone tell me, with the stand in obedience does it have to be all square, as in, front feet in line, back feet in line? Trixie seems to keep one of her front feet just in front of the other and I'm going to work on fixing it but just wondering if it is points off or not? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ava stands with one foot out the front as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it's only off by a tiny bit then she should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to have a looksie at an agility trial to see if we can fix it before it becomes ingrained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) Okay I'll try and get her standing more square for stability purposes, cheers ETA: Might take you up on that one Ptolomy, are you going to be there on Sunday?

Ptolomy Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 ETA: Might take you up on that one Ptolomy, are you going to be there on Sunday? I don't fly home until Tuesday - so it will have to be the next trial by which time you will hopefully have it sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Oh yeah of course I was thinking of leaving the stand for a bit because since I taught her to do it she is hardly auto-sitting any more - should I re-fix that before I carry on with the stand do you think?

In Sheila Booth's book she says to avoid losing the sit teach the kick back stand so they're doing two sits for one stand eg sit-stand-sit. I didn't properly teach Banjo the stand and now we're both confused ;) , that's something I'd like help with when I start training at K9 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Great, I've broken her already I don't think she's coordinated enough to do a kick back stand ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Great, I've broken her already ;) I don't think she's coordinated enough to do a kick back stand I started teaching Banjo the kick back stand on my bench out the back, he's starting to get it, it's one position I feel really awkward training, I think I'll leave it until I can get some help so I don't confuse him anymore . Don't worry I broke Banjo's drop, re-trained it and now he has a great drop, it's lucky dogs are smart enough to put up with us . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
