Podengo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Alright we are entered in our first trial for next month, going in rally novice and special beginners obedience... now just need to get 2 minute down stays happening! Very disconcerting doing down stays with a dog that wags her tail through the whole 2 minutes, seems like she's having a suspicious amount of fun LOL must be the naughty terrier inside of her thinking of al the ways she can embaress me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathq Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 realizing that you are supefluous - go tracking with your dog, the harness breaks and your dog completes the track at full speed indicating all articles and making all turns..without you attached. And she had an absolute ball doing it.. Probably should have called her off and finished the track with one of the articles I had on me but ....

Tassie Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 :laugh: kathq - what fun! Kirra did that to me in a TSD track - she did the last 100 metres or so on her own while I tried to keep up and pick up the lead - and avoid tripping over logs and branches :laugh: - luckily she sstopped when she found the tracklayer .

spoilt lab lives here Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Does anyone have a video of their dog doing the change of position n the CD ring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmisssascha83 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Does anyone have a video of their dog doing the change of position n the CD ring? Is this position changes. Sit, drop stand?? I have issues with this as well. Sasha has lately decided that she wants to move forward. So annoying when she creeps forward. We can do it on a step, and at home or on the oval but the min we go to school to practice she keeps creeping foward. Any tips?? We have comp day this sunday, we are in primary companion but I don'[t know if I will do comp day this time round. Might just do primary companion for another semester and then go onto secondary companion. I would like her position changes to be much more cleaner. She use to be ok with it but in this class she just keeps creeping forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also toss a cube of cheese over their head. This is a video of Zig and I training for change of position - just keeping it light and fun. So fun, in fact, that he anticipates and self rewards at the beginning of the clip :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyStar Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Oh god I would have died!! She's done worse, and I'm kind of used to her embarrassing me by now The look on not only the woman's face, but her dog's, was priceless! They both stood looking in disbelief Not something I am proud of, or encourage... but really, besides going away and working on dumbells being thrown around us while we work as distraction, what else can I do but laugh? She's a retriever afterall and I had spent that week getting her hyped up about retrieving dummies for her RATG that weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
