Asalei Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I thought I'd start a thread about show training at Durack. When I was looking, I couldn't find anything easily. It's on every Thursday night (unless constant rain) from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. $3 per dog. I'll be going Thursday nights with my beagle puppy. More so for me than her!

rocco Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 was this to stop my pestering. Cool thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asalei Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Haha no! Sorry. I just thought I'd take it out of the other thread (as it was about the shows this weekend) and so we have a thread to ask questions in and talk about the training. I know when I was looking around for info, there wasn't much around about the Brisbane training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Daisy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I know when I was looking around for info, there wasn't much around about the Brisbane training. And you don't get much help when you call the ccc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asalei Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I rang a mobile number given to me by the CCCQ of someone that was on holiday in the US! I ended up finding a website through lots of googling! Edited March 8, 2010 by ~Erin~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Daisy Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 That person you called has never even been to Durack when the training is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 The Thursday training nights are run by the Terrier Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Daisy Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 The Thursday training nights are run by the Terrier Club. Yes, I know. But the rep that cccq tells you to ring doesn't know much about it. I think they need to call the cccq and put a different contact down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asalei Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Sorry, didn't go last night. I'm still not 100% (still a little stuffy) and didn't want to be in the rain when I've got a full weekend of showing! Did you ladies go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Daisy Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Erin you slacker, I went with a sinus infection It rained on and off and they split us into two groups as there were quite a few dogs this week. Sandra and Megs were in the littlies groups and Freddy and Georgia were in the big dog group. We did lots of running in circles. And I did lots of running to the car for tissues ;) What show are you going to on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwnedByGoldens Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Was a good night at show training last night but there was a little bit of rain though, I'm learning heaps there and Georgia is improving a little bit each week. Good Luck to everyone showing this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think it would be a good thing to be out in the rain. Especially if it's meant to rain/shower ont he weekend. I'm determined to show this weekend seeming I missed last weekend! Although, last time I missed training, Abby was a shocker at the show. So I'm not really looking forward to tomorrow!! We are driving to Oakey. I never knew 5am existed on a Saturday ;) Lucky hubby is driving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Daisy Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Good Luck at Oakey. Let's hope the rain holds out for our turn in the ring. I don't need any extra help falling over and making a fool of myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Is this show training mainly for the handler, the dog or for both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 For both Lesley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Thanks for that oakway, we have a couple of newbies that need a bit of hands on prior to being shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandra64 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Hey guys. Where do you all buy your show leads from. Ive got a nice one coming from the UK., but takes 6 weeks to get here, as it is hand made. Do you buy off certain online stores, or do you just buy them at the vans at Durack? Abby and megs were in trouble all night thursday night for being the naughty children:-).. We've just come from our herding display, she was so good not nervous at all in front of people so that was a good sign.

Asalei Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Naughty girls, bottom of the class for them! I can't believe she baited better with a leaf, than she would with bait. Stupid beagle. I bought the chain and lead from the van at Durack, but I've also purchased a nice bling lead which I was break out in Sydney for the specialties I bought the bling lead from snazzy pooch leads. Great prices, customer service and turn around. The quality of the lead is great! Thank you for letting Megs play with Abby. It brought her out of her shell a little and made her comfortable to be there. It's nice to see her playing and socialising with other breeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandra64 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Oh how could you not let that pair play together,they look so cute, and Abby's big voice thats a kack. Megs wouldnt do anything anyway until she got to say hello and have a littl play....Megs too has come out of her shell a bit since going. She almost needed valium the first night she was so worked up Edited March 20, 2010 by sandra64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
