poodlefan Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 i utubed CCD OMG. We are soooo not ready. Maybe this is what your instructor thought too after seeing you work. I'd still be asking for some specific advice on what you need to work on and how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even just videoing yourself and watching it back is very helpful in itself, even if you're just using it to review your own footwork, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mmoo We are trialling in Obedience, Jumping and Agility and I suspect that Dallies and Boxers might have similar challenges in terms of training. There are a few people at Hastings who trial in obedience too - more probably compete in jumping/agility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beagie Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I am planning on trialling my girl.This will be my first time as well as hers. My instructor today at club said she was too young and immature right now. Boston is one today and is a boxer. This is the first time she has instructed us. So how would she know. Should we go in and just she how she goes? Or wait a while longer? scout You realy need to take your dog along to trials as many as poss to get it used to the atmosphere, you cannot replicate a trial atmosphere, heel around the outside of the rings or in an area you can move around in an hold her atention. Don't be in to much of a rush it is a mistake many make including myself. Age is irrelevant after all you have many years with your dog, to be playing training and spending time with. The next thing is make your own decisions, however bare in mind the ring is not a training place. The biggest thing most people forget if club training, is, your dog does not work with other dogs in the ring except for stays therefore must be confidant enough to work on it's own with other rings alongside maybe back and front. Another thing I always do is look at the dogs either side of me in the stays, aproach the owners and ask if they would like to do a mini stay outside the ring this gets the dogs used to one another and hopefully out of any interest they might have in those dogs. There are many pitfalls in the ring, however in the lower classes not so much but you want to aim high as poss on the scoreline so your dogs is well rounded and ready for the higher classes like UD etc. good luck for the future my seventeen week old pup has plenty of time as yet to get there however I have a very different aproach to when I worked my other dogs Beagie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
