Yacket's Mum Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Breath and enjoy. And if I can do it with a greyhound you can do it with your wonderful boy! Remember you are taking home the best dog there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Go Diesel My two will hopefully make their debut soon to and it makes me nervous just thinking about it . Just remember to have fun :D . If you pop into the Training Talk Thread huski is about to make her debut with her Beagle Daisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 LOL thanks for reminding me Tiggy! There is some good advice in the training talk thread as I recently asked the same thing. What you do to prepare your dog is really an individual thing. For me ideally I do nothing with Daisy at least 24 hours before hand: no food, training, games, walks etc. Some people do the opposite. Just what works best for your dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voloclydes Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 you'd better let us know how you go eh? would love to have a go... we might not do so good but would love to have a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveler Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 way to go. You will be able to have a good day and dont just sit around all day i suggest you watch the ring by yourself for one dog if possible this will help you to know what pattern the ring work is being done in. do remember that you little baby does need to go to the toilet just like you do and ensure it also has access to water on the day!!! Best of luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerraNik Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Nice work! I'll be cheering for you (so long as I'm not in the ring at the same time!) I think I'm last or 2nd last in the novice ring (can't remember exactly), so I probably will be able to watch!

Rainy Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Are you entered for the am or pm ? or both? iv got diesel entered in both but will have to see how he goes? We have lost our loose lead walking and he has started pulling like a steam train and he is lunging to greet other dogs :p it took me months to fix it last time and now i only have a week ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
