murve Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 me I just wear my runners, nice pair of jeans & top,jacket, oh I also take my riding (gum) boots just incase the ground is wet :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) I'm only new to trialling, but I have a pair of black skate shoes that I wear. Not as "sneakerish" as runners, and as they're black you notice them less. My OH just bought a pair of RM Williams that look great with jeans- maybe a pair of them? He says they're super comfy. With the rain that's been falling here today, I think I'll be packing my gumboots for Sunday's trial, especially if Berwick's grounds have the reputation of staying soggy Edited for spelling Edited May 11, 2011 by Nik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I am a little particular about what I wear in the fact I like the colours to work. However I do wear sneakers. I wear training pants that are what we normally train in, but newer ones - so like yoga type pants. I wear a shirt or top that matches my dogs collar. So Last time I had on black pants (I have light dogs) sneakers and a red top. My male dog had a collar with a design that was blue and had red in it and a red lead. My femal dog had a red black and grey collar and a red lead. I see dogs sports as that and thing sprots wear is more than appropriate. My friend however trialed in jeans and docs, very neat and all matching as well, but probably not what I would wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedazzledx2 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I tend to colour co-ordinate too :D At one stage I would co-ordinate my top with the dogs collar and lead and my watch band! Oh and the number holder arm band as well Nowadays I'm inclined to be a tad more casual at normal trials (and wear joggers) but for the biggies I will make more of an effort and I wear nice black lace up shoes from the chemist. I always wear black pants as they don't show the dirt and dog hairs so much!!!! I am a little particular about what I wear in the fact I like the colours to work. However I do wear sneakers.

RubyStar Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) I couldn't trial in black pants, could you imagine the amount of yellow lab hair all over those! Edit: actually, for my first Western Classic trial, I wore 3/4 black pants and a button up short sleeved shirt. I usually wear jeans in winter, and in summer, I normally wear 3/4 pants. My sneakers are black so they don't stand out as much. Top wise, for normal trials, just polos or a tshirt. For big events like the State or the Royal, I wear a dressier top, still with jeans ;) Edited May 11, 2011 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyStar Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Oh and I don't dress to match my dogs collars/leads, but their collars and leads match and I've had several comments from judges about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seita Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Wow! People dress up for trials??? I wear my normal old joggers, a pair of jeans or track pants (waterproof) if it's a bit wet or windy and usually my obedience club's shirt but if I can't be bothered finding it or it's not clean I'll just wear any old T-shirt or Polo. My dogs all have black leads and collars and I pretty much never buy coloured ones so they can never clash with each other! LOL Just wondering if any of you have seen my thread in this forum about your training schedule during the week while you are leading up to a trial or are regularly trialling. I haven't had many responses and would love to know what everyone else does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptolomy Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I admit I once carried around Blaize fur in my purse for over a year trying to find the perfect coloured toller pants AND when I first started trialling I used to change my pants in the back of the car so they matched the colour dog I had in the ring - those were the days In a normal trial its usually trackie pants for me but the big ones I always make an effort to look spiffy ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Just an update... Toby has had a slack few weeks just doing "bites" of training (when I walk past the pantry I grab a few bits of kibble and the clicker and only train until it runs out) but Toby's doodling is coming on great. His heelwork duration is slowly building and is rear end awareness is going great, he had a moment today when he realised the thing we do on the phonebook is the same if we do it on the ground!!! His fronts Not too happy, he is sometimes coming in a bit short and other times stopping so close I am scared he will knock me over. Also no turns yet! Have not had the time to learn the footwork!

Ptolomy Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I will join you RV in putting fronts and turns on the training list for the next couple of weeks A little clip of STrauss Mouse taken at training tonight (thanks Bedazzled). Its a work in progress but I am pleased with how it is going considering at one stage he was going to be a stud/show dog only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Strauss is looking great I cannot imagine you having a dog in your house and not trialling the dog:) I am sure he will be up there winning with the best before too long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Strauss really is looking great, Ptolomy - so happy and proud of himself, bless him. Wow! People dress up for trials???

LOL I'm with you Seita - I do tend to try to look a little bit neater for obedience than I do for agility and definitely neater than for tracking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked to start looking like a millon bucks ( well kind of, no pair of yoga type pants can look like a millon bucks!) and hope it carry's through. Also I think in general it creates a good first impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
