Tassie Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 well done Amypie and Trixie woohoo! now onto the big league JDX and that wont take long and than off to masters woohoo! Congratulations cleoj on your title wow 3 titles in 3 months what an achievement. Congratulations on other people on your passes. Hey is the trialing season finished for you guys. We dont have anymore till the New Years Eve and I think only one in Feb we dont get going till March again like another 4 months Yep - weekend trial (agility and obedience) was the last for the year here . But we have the excitement of looking forward to our very first official Rally O trial in Hobart on January 15th :D . But other than Rally O, no trials here until March.

Sheilaheel02 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Way to go with Mick,Sheilaheel .... sucks having to persevere with obedience huh? And don't forget,he will love Rally O. Laughed at your SPDX story - sound like me and my partner - only it's worse now we're is SPDM - made our first pass at Launceston Royal by 0.73 seconds . Hey Barb! Not so much sucks as embarrassing! I've really let this poor dog down due to various circumstances. He has never had the time and focus that Sheila and Trevor enjoyed....so much wasted potential. I've wanted to quit, but I'm pretty stubborn ;) I doubt I'll venture into Rally O. I haven't got time to do another discipline and I really need to work on my horses more as well (even more wasted potential). Then I've got my new pup, Lena and I've just inherited a JRT of all things. Good on you for getting all the way up to SPDM. We are having a break from that class for a bit to focus on other stuff, but my partner and I might spend some time training the "Watch" and "Go" commands for each other, the dogs seem to know what they're doing!

pie Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'm sure I've said it before but I love the names of your ACDs, they are just so appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you need to introduce a handler reinforcement schedule and mark each other with chocolates or lollies for paying attention .

Sorry to gear that you guys missed out on Sunday. I always enjoy watching you work together - Mick always looks like he's enjoying himself!

Sheilaheel02 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Thanks AP, Lena was almost called Vera instead, but my Aunt Vera and my Mum weren't terribly impressed with that idea. The JRT is named "Lucky" and I'm really tempted to call him "Larry", which would suit him, but probably won't end up changing it given he was my Uncle's dog. (BTW, I may PM you for some advice on training a Terrier!!!) Ness, since throwing full bottles of champagne is probably a serious breach of OH&S guidelines, I think your suggestion of appropriate reinforcement has real merit!

Tassie Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Nice one DSO and Jess! And hi Shaz. Long time no see. :D Kirra's still going strong - and new lil big man Rory - now 3, is a delight. Kirra and I were really sad when Fergus died, but we're both enjoying the new kid. Kirra spent his first week telling him who was actually in charge - and then has played with him every day of the 3 years since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyStar Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Well done wuffles and Ava and Nik and Annie!!! Been wanting an Aussie for a while now but I think I'd feel the pressure that it would have to perform well because we have some pretty awesome Aussie obedience teams around! I wouldn't want to let the Aussie side down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
