pie Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Cute photo Murve, love Whippies How does your Whippet go in the cold? MY Mannie is similar coat / build to a Whippet and she really feels the cold, if I ever trial her I think it's going to have to be in very warm weather - she tucks one paw up when she is cold - even with a coat on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the sweater arrived we were flat out getting this sort of score eg: 70/100, after the sweater arrived we did 5 trials bang 3 passes 91/100, 92/100, 94/100 CCD pass Orlando loves his sweater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Yeah I already have Chillydog coats for my dogs, I am a fan, Trixie still freezes in hers outside though, thinking of getting the Great North one for her next year.

spoilt lab lives here Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I have a new training project! Its my partners full of issues GSD. He doesnt have the time and quite frankly the knowledge to train her properly and with the technqiues he uses its not working for this dog. I have offered to take her with Rams and I when we go to the park to do a bit of brain training and tire her out mentally. He can do the physical stuff! Combined with some K9 pro advice and calm supplement hopefully we might have a happier, less stressed and less DA shepherd soon! This dog is not my idea of fun, but I cant stand there and do nothing why my partners busts his butt working and the dog just creates problem after problem. Im actually excited about putting my trainings skills to the test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Its fun training a second dog, my 2nd lab is very different to train than the older 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoilt lab lives here Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I have to build a relationship with this dog first. We have history and it's not the best. I'm sure it won't take long and we will be right! I just have to be careful to make it look like I'm not taking over my partners dog lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murve Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Oh I know where your comin from SLLH, I have 2 Paps here to train 1 is my daughters, she would like to get her titles now, but my daughter has 2 left feet co-ordination so this will be fun the other is my O/H's he thinks I would do a better job at putting his pappy boy through :D Good luck with your partners Shepherd :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I have to be careful not to take over mum's new little project, Pippa But while mum doesn't have any interest in trialling her, she wants to teach her everything she can (including obedience stuff and tricks). She's doing well so far I get to do agility with her, though. And I want to shape the dumbbell retrieve with her because she picked up my Lab sized dumbbell on the weekend in her tiny little mouth and wanted to run off with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoilt lab lives here Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Well I did a session with Leila tonight. She has potential but it will just take time She loves working for food and is learning 'touch'. Slowly slowly. First step is teaching her 'watch me' Ramses and I are ready as we will ever be for the state titles on the weekend. Looking forward to a title!

Nik Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Good luck trialling this weekend SLLH. Quick question for those doing the Royal. What should I wear? I'm hoping clean jeans and a nice (warm) top will be ok for when we're in the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoilt lab lives here Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Good luck Murve!! I did a bit of work this arvo with leila, she has a better dumbell hold than Ramses!! She has picked up the turns really quick. Drops and straight sits are a work in progress. Its so different training a dog who is still learning to training a dog who knows what you want and what your asking for. I put my hand out for 'touch' and Leila just stares, after a bit she ever so slightly puts or nose to my hand. I treat and praise. Do something else and 5 mins later do touch again and its like she has never done it before Even had a bit of tail wagging in training today. Maybe she is starting to feel more comfortable around me.
