alexandrite Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) my GSP had a habit of re arranging the house when he was younger on the odd ocasion he will still do it, it is a gun dog thing and you have a gun dogthrowing a ball does not tire them out it only hypes them up all the more. I did Agility with my GSP it is pretty easy to put up a couple of jumps in the back yard and do some figure eights, teach the dog to weave this will work his brain a lot better than throwing a ball if the brain is worked then the dog will tire a lot faster Beagie Oh - rearranging stuff is a gun-dog thing? Okay, so my dog is normal, he's just a talented Interior Designer? (or exterior, in this case, SOON to be interior) LOL good to know! He really doesn't seem to DO much with the things he moves, thankfully, if I find him just after the relocation of objects has happened, he just lies on them, and then leaves them there, lol. I assumed it was because he's bored. (The only other dog I had is the poodle that I grew up with, and she was also a rescue but so timid that she never even touched anything without permission. The poor girl had to be restored to having confidence in herself again after the awful people we rescued her from.) We're actually moving soon, and one of the first things we found out is there is an obedience training class near the new place (with convenient hours for us!) and a great dog park with all sorts of agility things. Our "old" dog park only has a couple of trees... nothing to entertain a dog with. I'm looking forward to bringing him to the new park! Here's the silly puppy himself: Edited July 2, 2010 by alexandrite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandrite Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) thats an awesome idea poor raz i've been a bit slack ill try to make him up some things for him next week Yep, "find the kibble" is Ava's favourite game! She doesn't even touch her Kong until every last bit of kibble has been devoured. Sometimes she gets kibble thrown on her when she gets in the way, then she goes crazy trying to get it out of her fur You just have to be careful the ants don't find it, it also attracts birds, but Ava is so obsessive about getting it all that we don't have a problem. Yes this is something we do to give Charlie his breakfast just before we leave the house, we do a little bit of training with him first and then scatter the rest of his breakfast kibble on the lawn as we go out the door. I love watching his nose in full sniffing mode! He also seems to find everything before any kind of ants or birds can get to it.

We have a few in Brissy Which obedience club are you thinking of joining? I have been going to Metro at Chermside for a few years now Oh! Really? I'd love to find out when and where these are! Sounds like fun for the dogs and their humans We're moving to Runcorn, so the club closest to us there will be the Southside Dog Obedience Club. Have you heard anything about them by any chance? I've only just found out about them really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only just found out about them really. A lot of the obedience clubs are much the same, I have a friend who trains at SDOC (Seita on this forum) and it doesn't sound too different to Metro.
